August 20, the first domestically producedAAA GamesAs soon as "Black Myth: Wukong" was released, it seemed to attract the attention of the whole world. As a phenomenal Chinese stand-alone game, it dominated the Weibo hot search list as soon as it was released.

On August 21, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference.

A reporter asked, China's domestic game "Black Myth: Wukong" has been favored by international players since its launch. What comments does the spokesperson have?

Mao Ning said,I don't know much about video games, but thank you for bringing this game to my attention. From the name, it seems that this game is based on the Chinese classical literature masterpiece "Journey to the West", which I think also reflects the appeal of Chinese culture.

It is worth mentioning that the presentation of a large number of highly restored ancient Chinese buildings in the game has also become a highlight of the game. Many netizens have said that "the degree of restoration is shocking, and playing it is like having been there."Among them, the Lingyan Temple Tomb Pagoda Forest and the Four-Gate Pagoda in Jinan are featured in the game as filming locations, which may trigger an offline "check-in boom."

Lingyan Temple is located in Wande Town, Changqing District, Jinan City, and is known as the first of the four famous temples. The Lingyan Temple Tomb Pagoda Forest has 167 tomb pagodas of the abbots of Lingyan Temple from the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1 in the Tang Dynasty, 6 in the Northern Song Dynasty, 5 in the Jin Dynasty, 3 in the Qing Dynasty, and the rest are relics from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties), and 81 epitaphs. These tomb pagodas and epitaphs reflect the carving characteristics of different historical periods and the historical facts of the temple.

According to media reports, both scenic spots in Jinan have made the latest response to this.

The relevant person in charge of Shandong Cultural Tourism Lingyan Temple Scenic Area said that the scenic area is currently planning corresponding cultural tourism activities around this theme and hot spots. At that time, there will be corresponding preferential policies and souvenirs to give back to tourists.

The official person in charge of Simen Tower stated that Simen Tower had no official contact with Game Science before, and Simen Tower is currently actively verifying the details related to the game’s shooting.

Jinan's Simen Tower is affectionately called the "Cat Temple" by netizens because of the large number of cats there.

The Four-Gate Pagoda is located 4 kilometers northeast of Liubu Town, Licheng District, Jinan, Shandong Province. It is the only existing stone pagoda from the Sui Dynasty in China and the earliest existing single-story pavilion-style stone pagoda in China. The tower body of the Four-Gate Pagoda is made of huge bluestones. It is single-story, square, 15 meters high and 7.4 meters long. There is an archway on each of the four sides, so it is commonly known as the "Four-Gate Pagoda."
