Build Chinese towns, canal streets, night markets, temple courtyards and festival levels from one consistent stylized kit. Shophouses are built from paving, platforms, lattice doors, 4 m open fronts, balconies, plaster walls and stepped firewalls under modular roof slopes, ridges and bracket rows; the temple precinct adds walls, the moon gate, the gate pavilion and the ancestral hall.
The demo map is a canal town on the night of the Lantern Festival: about 1,420 m² of streets, the moon bridge over floating lanterns, the lantern maker, the apothecary, the night market stalls, the gate pavilion and the ancestral hall on its terrace, lit by 267 movable lights. Rain puddles turn the paving wet so it mirrors the lanterns.
Architecture and walkable ground have collision, every mesh has lightmap UVs, and the materials are tiling PBR sets with tweakable tint, wear, grime and dust; every lantern has a glow strength.

This is a summary. The license of the store you buy on is what counts; the License page explains which one.
Is it a horror kit?
No. It is a festive lantern night. There are no political symbols and no deity statues anywhere in the kit.
Are the characters real Chinese?
Yes. The hanzi on plaques, couplets and lanterns are real characters, drawn by our own brush-stroke tools rather than from fonts.
Which engine versions?
Unreal Engine 5.1 to 5.8. The download is a 5.1 project; newer engines open it directly.
