Wanrong's towers
In Black Myth: Wukong, two pavilions stand facing each other from a distance, their prototypes made from Feiyun Tower and Qiufeng Tower in Wanrong county. The Feiyun Tower in Dongyue Temple is a Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) timber-framed structure distinguished by its unique construction techniques, load-bearing structures and artistic design. The 23.19-meter-tall tower has four central pillars extending from the ground to the top floor. The tower's name feiyun, meaning "floating clouds", is derived from the 345 clusters of dougong that exhibit diverse shapes. The Qiufeng Tower is known for a stele inscribed with a homonymous poem written by Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24).
