This is probably the ultimate aesthetic that is indelible in our ancestors’ bones.

It’s not Xiaoxitian…it’s Lantian Shuilu Temple‼ ️
It is a seriously underestimated free and unpopular attraction in Xi'an
Known as "China's No. 1 Dunhuang" and "the world's No. 1 painted murals"
It is also one of the filming locations of "Black Myth: Wukong"
.
Look up 👀
Gods and Buddhas everywhere, paradise, palaces and pagodas, carved beams and painted buildings
More than 3,700 clay sculptures with lifelike expressions and stunning carving details
Once again, I was amazed by the ultimate aesthetics engraved in our ancestors’ bones‼ ️
