[2025 Xi County Attraction] Travel Guide for Little Western Paradise (Updated Feb)

No matter how many places you have been to or how many pictures you have seen online, you will be amazed when you come to Little Western Heaven! The moment you walk into the Mahavira Hall, your mind will be blown away, and you will be at a loss for words to describe this hall. No wonder it is the filming location of Black Myth: Wukong. The ancient architecture and sculpture art are simply amazing! 👏 The scene that only exists in the game CG is truly shocking in front of your eyes, and the camera cannot capture even one-tenth of the shock of Little Western Heaven. 1️⃣ Little Western Heaven Also known as Qianfo Nunnery, it is located on the top of Phoenix Mountain in Xixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. It was built in the second year of the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty (1629) and was named after the thousand Buddha statues in the Mahavira Hall. The temple buildings are built on the mountain with exquisite layout and are known as the "suspended sculpture masterpiece." The Ming Dynasty colored suspended sculpture art in the Mahavira Hall is particularly precious, showcasing a high level of craftsmanship and the charm of Buddhist art. Little Western Heaven vividly showcases the "extreme complexity aesthetics" of the late Ming Dynasty. These colored sculptures range from over 3 meters tall to the size of a thumb, and the full hall of suspended sculptures seems to be about to emerge from the wall and descend on clouds. In this full hall of suspended sculptures and countless gods and Buddhas, another soul-stirring dialogue is connected, and another peak of extreme aesthetics is built. 2️⃣ Guangsheng Temple Guangsheng Temple is located in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province. It was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty and rebuilt in the Yuan Dynasty. It is famous for the Yuan Dynasty murals in the Water God Temple. These murals were painted in the first year of the Yuan Taiding period (1324) and depict themes of praying for rain, rainmaking, and offering sacrifices to gods, showcasing the social life and opera culture of the Yuan Dynasty. One of the opera murals was included in the Chinese History textbook, with high artistic and historical value. ✔️ Water God Temple, dedicated to the Water God, has stunning murals on the walls, with vibrant colors and well-preserved details. The murals were completed in the first year of the Yuan Taiding period (1324) and were painted by two separate teams, but the level of skill is not much different. The content includes opera, praying for rain, ancient Guangsheng Upper Temple map, Dragon King rainmaking map, dressing map, fish selling map, food offering map, treasure offering map, and ball hammering map. 🔸 The main images on the two walls are the rain praying map and the rainmaking map. The images are full of dramatic tension, and the Water God looks like Zhong Kui. 🔸 The most famous "Da Xing San Le Zhong Du Xiu Zai Ci Zuo Chang" makes people travel back in time to history class in a second, no wonder it looks so familiar. ✔️ Guangsheng Lower Temple has many highlights. The Yuan Dynasty architectural complex is divided into front and back courtyards. The front courtyard is spacious, with a mountain gate and front hall, while the back courtyard is densely built, forming a traditional courtyard structure. 🔸 The mountain gate of the Lower Temple is included in the Chinese Architectural History, with a single-eave hip roof and eaves on the front and back, resembling a double-eave pavilion. The Four Heavenly Kings are strong and powerful, with very luxurious clothing. 🔸 The front hall is a five-bay suspended mountain style, with only two columns inside, and the beam frame is supported by large beams, resembling a human-shaped truss, with exquisite design. 🔸 The back hall is one of the most important buildings in the Lower Temple, with statues of the Three Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas Manjusri and Samantabhadra, all of which are Yuan Dynasty works. The hall originally had exquisite murals (beautiful Three Buddhas and Medicine Buddha transformation map), but they were dismantled into over 100 pieces and sold to the United States in 1928. The remaining murals in the hall were originally on the upper part of the gable wall (too high, so they were left behind). The content is the Fifty-three Visits of Sudhana.

Shanxi Xiaoxitian 🎈——Xixian County, Shanxi 💰Tickets: CNY 35 for adults, CNY 18 for half-price tickets Guide: CNY 50 (regardless of the number of people) It is recommended to hire a guide, as ancient architecture is 30% visual and 70% auditory! 🚙The scenic area is only accessible on foot, and there are more than 100 steps before entering Xiaoxitian. Food: Only Xixian County's specialty Yuluxiang pears are sold near the scenic area. 1⃣Xixian County Xiaoxitian, also known as Qianfo Nunnery, is located on the cliffs of Phoenix Mountain and was built in the Ming Dynasty. Building orientation: facing east, following the mountain's terrain 2⃣Building layout: divided into upper and lower courtyards. The lower courtyard is the main part of the temple, with the Wuliang Hall facing east, and the Weituo Hall opposite the Wuliang Hall. The upper courtyard is the essence of the temple. The main hall, the Mahavira Hall, is where the hanging sculptures are located, with the Manjusri and Samantabhadra halls on either side. 3⃣The Mahavira Hall is divided into three parts: the main wall, the north wall, and the south wall Main wall: the upper part is the heavenly palace and Buddha pavilion, and the lower part is the five-Buddha shrine. The five-Buddha shrine is lined with five Buddha statues from left to right: Medicine Buddha (Three Masters Palace), Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Inner Court), Shakyamuni Buddha (Seven Buddha Treasure Palace), Vairocana Buddha (Vairocana Inner Court), and Maitreya Buddha (Maitreya Inner Court) (the content in parentheses is the name of the shrine). This combination is very rare and expresses the common people's expectation of being reborn in the Pure Land.

(Includes a 1-day itinerary and tips to avoid tourist traps) 🚗 Route and Duration 1 day is enough! Self-driving or chartered car is recommended (about 2 hours from Linfen, with many mountain roads), or take the Xixian intercity bus (limited service, check the schedule in advance). ✔️Recommended route: Qianfo Temple (Xiaoxitian) → Xixian Drum Tower → Stroll and eat in the old alleys of the county town. For a deeper tour, you can add "Qili Jiao Grottoes" (undeveloped, wild but difficult to access). 🌄 Core Experience: Qianfo Temple Suspended Sculpture "Open the door to see the Western Paradise, and see a Buddha with every step"— The pinnacle of Ming Dynasty suspended sculpture, with heavenly gods swirling around the hall, gold leaf and powder still vibrant, and the stunning contrast of peacock blue and vermilion red! ⚠️ Note: The hall is dimly lit, so a flashlight is needed for a closer look; photography is prohibited! Stand still for 10 minutes and feel the suffocatingly complex aesthetics (I got goosebumps all over...) 🍜 Xixian Food Recommendations Hollow Oil Cake: Thin and crispy, with a molten brown sugar center that is irresistible! "Old Brand Oil Cake Shop" is in the south alley of the Drum Tower. Buckwheat Bowl Cake: Sour and spicy, 3 yuan/bowl at roadside stalls, perfect with garlic paste. Lamb Soup + Thousand Layer Cake: A local breakfast staple, with rich and non-gamy broth, and cake torn into pieces and soaked in the soup! ❗️Real Tips 1. Wear non-slip shoes! The mountain steps are steep and slippery after rain. 2. Bring change: Small stalls and donation boxes only accept cash. 3. Visit off-peak: Arrive before 8 am to avoid tour groups and enjoy the tranquility of the Buddhist kingdom. 4. Respect cultural relics: Do not touch the suspended sculptures, as the century-old paintings are fragile! 📸 Personal Opinion "After seeing Xiaoxitian, no other sculpture can compare!" The rustling sound of monks sweeping leaves, the light filtering through the mottled porch, and the moment of eye contact with the gods and Buddhas— This is not a popular tourist attraction, but a place that can suddenly quiet the mind. 📍Xixian Xiaoxitian (Qianfo Temple) 🎫 Ticket: 50 yuan, Guide: 80 yuan/session (group tours recommended) ⏰ 8:30–17:30 | Closes 1 hour earlier in winter

Because of a song from Black Myth: Wukong, I was inspired to visit the world of the Western Paradise imagined by Huang Mei. If it weren't for Black Myth: Wukong, I would have missed this beautiful Chinese treasure. Suspending clay sculptures in the air requires a high level of skill, and the suspended sculptures in Xiaoxitian are large, exquisitely shaped, complex yet orderly. There are five niches in the main hall, each representing a world. The Four Heavenly Kings, Eight Vajras, Ten Disciples, Twelve Musicians, and over 2,000 deities and Buddhas were completed over 30 years. The largest statue is over 3 meters tall, while the smallest can fit in the palm of your hand. The aftertaste of Xiaoxitian is too strong. The BGM of "Three Realms and Four Continents, No Desire, No Salvation" keeps looping in my mind. Tips 1. The main hall of Xiaoxitian faces east, and sunlight can enter the hall before 9:30 am, making it easier to see. 2. The scenic area opens at 8 am in winter, so it's best to go early! There are fewer people in the main hall, so you can take your time. 3. Free incense is provided inside, so you don't need to bring incense up the mountain. 4. To reach Xiaoxitian, you need to climb a long, continuous staircase that can only accommodate two people. Those with mobility issues should be careful.

"The ultimate hanging sculptures, a thousand years of culture in Shanxi"—this is the best example. 400 years ago, the exquisite craftsmanship of the people of Shanxi was condensed into a magnificent scene of the Western Paradise. When I stepped into the hall, it was as if I had entered a transcendent artistic fantasy. More than a thousand statues stand tall, yet they do not appear chaotic. Each one is vivid and lifelike, as if endowed with life. Their expressions and postures vary, some compassionate, some solemn, some lively, as if whispering the stories of the Buddhist kingdom from a thousand years ago. Looking up, the heavenly palaces and pavilions are exquisitely crafted, appearing faintly in the clouds. Rare and exotic beasts roam freely, as if breaking free from the constraints of time and space, wandering freely above the clouds. The vibrant colors and meticulous carvings, every detail, showcase the ultimate pursuit of aesthetics. This magnificent splendor is not the work of human hands, but the shining of the ancestors' indelible ultimate aesthetics. Immersed in it, I felt as if I were witnessing a soul-stirring aesthetic feast, deeply moved.

🌈Attractions: I drove to Shanxi with my friends. The original itinerary did not include Xiaoxitian, but one of my friends insisted on going to Xiaoxitian. We changed the original itinerary to Pingyao Ancient City and drove for six hours. The car arrived at the Xiaoxitian scenic spot. The scenic area is not large and the tickets are not expensive, but it is definitely worth it, especially to go to the Main Hall. Although it is also mentioned in the game, compared to seeing it with your own eyes, you will feel that the six-hour drive is worth it. The cultural relics inside were handled dust-free by the ancients. The hanging sculpture art is spectacular. When the sunlight shines on the Buddha statue, the whole body is shining with golden light. It is very special, as if all the fatigue from work and life can disappear. The place is small, only about 100 square meters, but it combines arts and crafts, cultural communication, and chicken soup for the soul, and is worth a visit. 🎟️Ticket information: 34 yuan, 8:00-17:00, remember to arrive before 17:00, it gets dark around 17:00 in Shanxi in winter 🕐️Scenic area opening hours: 8:00-17:00 💗Other tips: I heard that the county where Xiaoxitian is located is the pear capital of China. We also sent a box back to Guangdong by express delivery, 70 yuan free shipping [Love]

The scenery in Shanxi gives me the impression that it is generally earthy, retaining the original ecology, and is very authentic. For example, Pingyao Ancient City. I regret that I did not have time to take a tour this time. Many parts of the walls of Pingyao Ancient City have not yet been The state of the construction, although the scenery in Shanxi is not as spectacular as that in Beijing, it has its own unique flavor and style, which makes people linger and forget to return. The walls of temples in Shanxi are all red, which is different from those in the south. Shanxi's food also left a deep impression on me. Generally speaking, it is very affordable and the portion is large. The shaved noodles are really delicious. The copper hot pot is also highly recommended. I also tried the sea buckthorn juice.
