As Black Myth: Wukong maintains massive popularity, Shuanglin Temple has seen unprecedented visitor numbers. Among them are a group of international vloggers who joined the "Discovering Shanxi's Ancient Chinese Architecture – Overseas Media and Students Tour".

Inside the temple, the influencers wandered through its ancient halls, admiring numerous painted clay sculptures that were exquisitely shaped, with vivid expressions and lifelike postures.

Joe Burns, a content creator from Scotland said: "Seeing these scenes in real life is far more meaningful than experiencing them virtually in-game. China's digital preservation efforts, such as the three-dimensional scanning of cultural relics, make these treasures accessible to more people, aiding education and cultural dissemination."
