Re: Mythical ancient China movies
The visual beauty of that film is breathtaking, especially thanks to the fact that it's free of teal digital grading, so you actually see color. (Remember when movies were in color?)
If House of Flying Daggers has sufficient fantasy for you, then any wuxia film might be of interest, though as others have pointed out, the magical elements are largely restricted to wire-fu, as is the case in Flying Daggers.

Try the same director's Curse of the Golden Flower, an even more visually lavish spectacle. He also directed Hero, which you've seen -- which is his finest work.
