With the global popularity of China's first Triple-A success Black Myth: Wukong, the country’s stunning eastern charm has been displayed before the world. The city of Zhoushan, Zhejiang province, is one of the best places for visitors looking to enjoy sights similar to those found in the game.

Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, has deep ties with Mount Putuo, where his journey to the West began with the guidance of Guanyin, the goddess of mercy in Chinese Buddhism. Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea stands on Mount Putuo, which is home to many beautiful traditional buildings and scenic spots worth visiting.

Duobao Pagoda is the oldest existing structure on Mount Putuo. At the top of the mountain, beneath the clouds, stands a towering Thousand Buddha Pagoda. When night falls, layers of golden light envelop the pagoda, making it appear even more magnificent and awe-inspiring.

At the Guanyin Culture Park on Zhujiajian Island, the spacious interior of the Guanyin Shrine is designed using exquisite craftsmanship and traditional techniques, exuding a majestic charm. The spectacular Buddha statues, with their unique forms, are strikingly similar to the Buddha statues in Black Myth: Wukong.
