In recent years, Wutai Mountain has embraced the wave of digital cultural tourism. The fashionable digital experience is an effort to meet young visitors where they stand, so they can learn about the mountain's history and cultural legacy in a modern way.

Xiao Qiong, a 54-year-old visitor from Guangdong, came for the usual reasons: hiking, Buddha worship, and meditation, and was pleasantly surprised to find the state-of-the-art XR project. "In reality, we can't fly," he said. "However, by wearing those devices, we can feel the magic of flying high."
