Small Town Leisure Travel | Follow Wukong to Zezhou to See China's Own Constellation Gods!

Only know the 12 constellations of Western astrology?

In fact, we Chinese also have our own constellation gods, and there are as many as 28! Black Myth Wukong brought them to everyone's eyes. I heard that Jincheng Zezhou has already ranked first in the domestic niche travel list during this Mid-Autumn Festival. It seems that the National Day holiday will be even more popular~

📍 Zezhou County Yuhuang Temple
There are many large and small Yuhuang Temples with the same name in various places in Shanxi. Don't get it wrong. Remember to recognize Yudiangou Village, Zezhou County, Jincheng.
The Twenty-Eight Constellations Hall in Yuhuang Temple houses 28 constellations, and each constellation statue has a corresponding animal god. All the sculptures have very distinct Yuan Dynasty artistic characteristics. Whether it is the expression or body language, they are realistic and rigorous. Every colored sculpture seems to come alive, and most of them are full of relaxation, completely different from the sculptures commonly seen in other temples.
Speaking of which, the Twenty-Eight Constellations Hall is just one of the side halls of the Jade Emperor Hall, but now it has become the most popular place in Yuhuang Temple, because the Kangshenlong, who is also popular in Black Myth, is also among them.

📍 Dayang Ancient Town
Dayang Ancient Town, with a history of more than 2600 years, can see almost all kinds of national style elements, ancient buildings/clay sculptures/Tang Sancai/Dou Gong/wood carvings/embroidery/tie-dyeing/copperplate printing/cloisonné/iron flower beating, etc.!

🚄 Transportation tips
Take the high-speed rail directly to Jincheng East Station, take a taxi to Yuhuang Temple about 7km, Dayang Ancient Town about 35km, or take a public bus tourist special line.
