Twenty-four vividly detailed statues of deities at the temple, in Gaoping, Shanxi province, inspired Black Myth: Wukong, a hit video game based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West.
With the main hall built in 1168, the temple was renovated and expanded during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). It gets its name from the iron Buddha it once housed.
Thanks to the game's popularity, the once-dilapidated temple was restored and opened to the public on August 24, the local cultural heritage protection bureau said.
