Chill in Summer II: From ancient architecture to animation via Shanxi

In the summer's hottest animation All Wishes Come True, the Chinese characters for "Yongle" appear throughout the film. This connects the fantasy world with real Chinese travel destinations, such as Yongle Town and Yongle Palace in Shanxi Province.

The palace serves as one of China's best-preserved Yuan Dynasty architectural treasures and a sacred site of Taoism. It was built in commemoration of Lyu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals featured in the film.

This summer, come to China and behold ancient structures that inspired a fictional realm. #chinatravel #chinarama
