Filming and photo check-in spots for Shaanxi's Black Myth: Wukong, so beautiful!

Shaanxi truly is a battleground of immortals! Recently, "Black Myth: Wukong" has been trending everywhere. We've gathered some filming locations from the game for you—perfect for taking amazing photos and immersing yourself in the mythical world~

🏔【Main Filming Location Recommendations】

📍 **Mount Hua (Huashan)**
- **Why visit**: Many of the game's steep mountain scenes are inspired by Mount Hua, especially the cliff near the Plank Walk in the Sky and the Hawk Flip area. Standing on the summit for a backshot instantly gives you Wukong’s majestic peak vibe.
- **Tips**: Enter before 6 AM to avoid crowds and catch the sunrise and sea of clouds. Wearing red or black clothes makes your photos stand out!

📍 **Yongning Gate, Xi'an City Wall**
- **Why visit**: The architectural style of Chang'an City in the game closely resembles this spot. It looks especially mythical when the lights come on at dusk. Take silhouette shots on the wall or use a wide-angle lens for panoramic views to maximize the atmosphere.
- **Tips**: After 8 PM, there’s a light show at the South Gate, but it gets crowded. It’s better to shoot from the side gates.

📍 **Famen Temple**
- **Why visit**: This millennium-old temple houses Buddha’s bone relics and is faithfully recreated in the game’s temple scenes. The corridor at the exit of the underground palace has amazing lighting, perfect for mysterious back or side shots.
- **Tips**: Bring a jacket as it’s cool inside the underground palace; please keep quiet as it’s a Buddhist holy site.

📍 **Hukou Waterfall (Shaanxi side)**
- **Why visit**: The inspiration for the Water Curtain Cave in the game! During flood season, the waterfall is magnificent. Use a slow shutter speed to capture silky water flow, and add a golden filter in post for a "Flower-Fruit Mountain secret realm" effect.
- **Tips**: The viewing platform on the Shaanxi side is less crowded than Shanxi’s, but wear non-slip shoes as the rocks are slippery.

📸【Photography Tips】
1. Use low-angle shots to avoid crowds and make scenes look grander.
2. Hanfu or martial hero costumes perfectly match the scenery; rentals are available nearby.
3. Rainy days add atmosphere—bring an oil-paper umbrella as a prop for stunning shots.

🍜【Nearby Food Recommendations】
- At the foot of Mount Hua, try the gourd chicken at the "Huashan Sword Discussion" themed restaurant.
- Near Yongning Gate in Xi'an, don’t miss the water basin lamb at "Drunken Chang’an."
- On the way back from Famen Temple, be sure to try Fufeng’s baked noodle sheets.
