Along the 1.5-kilometer-long park road, various historical architectural styles are displayed with crossing gates and decorative lights, catching many people's eyes.

With a focus on interactivity, the show revolves around two storylines, searching for the legendary figures Jiang Ziya and Wang Yangming.

The scenes from time-traveling movies and historical characters are realized through the integration of light shows, laser shows, and firework shows.
