Step into a time machine made of wood and mortar! Japan is celebrating the enduring legacy of Tang Dynasty (618-907) architecture with a groundbreaking virtual exhibition coming to Osaka’s Expo 2025. 🇯🇵🎎
CGTN’s "Tang Architecture: Building Timeless Glory" – now launching its Japanese edition – uses immersive tech to showcase how China’s golden age shaped Japan’s iconic temples and palaces. Think of it as ancient TikTok for architectural marvels! 📱✨
We sat down with Tokyo-based experts who geeked out about curved eaves, interlocking brackets, and why Tang designs still make architects swoon. "It’s like finding K-pop samples in classical music," one researcher quipped, highlighting how 8th-century Chinese innovation became Japan’s cultural blueprint. 🎶🏯
Pro tip for travelers: After the expo, hit up Nara’s Tōdai-ji Temple to see Tang influences IRL – it’s basically a 1,300-year-old Instagram hotspot! 📸
