Have you heard? China's ancient architecture is getting a fresh wave of love from the country's youth! 
From buzzing social media feeds to trending travel blogs, young adventurers are sharing their epic journeys through time, exploring the majestic ancient buildings that tell stories of the past.
China boasts a whopping 67,200 recognized historic buildings, and guess what? Shanxi Province is the ultimate hotspot! 
Over the recent Mid-Autumn Festival, Shanxi saw a massive influx of tourists eager to soak in the history and beauty of its ancient sites.
Data from Ctrip, one of China's leading online travel agencies, showed that during the three-day holiday, rental car orders for self-driving tours in Shanxi skyrocketed by 16% compared to the Dragon Boat Festival in June. 
Talk about wanderlust!
But that's not all! The hype around the game 'Black Myth: Wukong' 
has fans flocking to real-life locations featured in the game. Iconic spots like the Yungang Grottoes, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, and the breathtaking Xuankong Temple (aka the Hanging Temple) are seeing a surge in visitors. Game meets reality, anyone? 
Stats show that nearly half of the ticket orders for these scenic spots are from young adults in their 20s and 30s. It's official: history is the new cool! 
So, if you're looking for your next adventure, why not dive into the rich tapestry of China's ancient architecture? Your epic story awaits!
