Nestled among the picturesque mountains and rivers of Shangrao, Jiangxi, Guifeng has lain quietly for thousands of years, whispering the legends of time through its unique Danxia landforms. This is a true visual feast where “every mountain resembles a turtle, and every rock forms a scene". With 36 distinct peaks, each is extraordinary — some rise proudly like giant turtles gazing at the sky, while others resemble little turtles learning to walk. Over millions of years, geological changes have sculpted the red sandstone into countless turtle-shaped spirits, so lifelike that they stand as masterpieces of nature’s extraordinary craftsmanship.
Walking through Guifeng feels like traveling through a three-dimensional ancient painting. Majestic peaks rise in sequence, bizarre rocks jut out at odd angles, deep valleys and ravines stretch below, and clear waters weave around the landscape. At dawn and dusk, the sunlight casts a golden or crimson glow over the red cliffs, creating ever-changing patterns of light and shadow. This place is not only a treasure trove of geological wonders, but also a repository of Yiyang’s thousand-year-old cultural heritage — the echoes of the ancient Yiyang Opera linger in the air, cliff inscriptions recount the vicissitudes of history, and the footsteps of revolutionary pioneers remain imprinted across the mountains and rivers.
By day, Guifeng unfolds as a magnificent epic of geological history; but when night falls, this magical land—empowered by the cutting-edge technological performances of Vanyee—undergoes an even more dazzling, dreamlike transformation. The Guifeng Night Tour 2.0 – “Following the Dream of Guilai” makes its spectacular debut, revealing a hidden side of Guifeng at night, where thousand-year-old cultural heritage and futuristic light displays come together to create a new chapter of fantastical wonder.
Breaking away from traditional sightseeing, “Following the Dream of Guilai” invites visitors to fully immerse themselves in the magnificent thousand-year-old landscape of Yiyang. Digital lights dance like spirits among the unique peaks and rocks, revealing the vibrant details hidden from view during the day. Through large-scale mountain projections, the entire mountainside becomes a dynamic canvas where flowing lights and shadows bring to life the ancient legends of this land.
Created by Vanyee using cutting-edge innovation, the original “Floating Space-Time Fold Theater” stands as one of the core technological highlights of “Following the Dream of Guilai” 2.0. It redefines the night-tour experience, fully awakening the nighttime charm of Guifeng. Under the starlit sky, the once-silent peaks and ancient rocks come alive, as the thousand-year-old culture of this land is brought to life anew.
Created with great dedication by Vanyee, this cutting-edge technological marvel — a rare large-scale outdoor holographic lifting gauze screen system in China — is a breathtaking sight to behold. Like a piece of floating magic, it rises and descends gracefully under the night sky of Guifeng, opening and closing with fluid elegance. But this is far more than just a suspended screen in the air; it is a stage where time and space seem to fold in an instant. One moment, the mountain is a living canvas of flowing light and shadow; the next, the gauze screen lifts, and real actors appear as if they’ve traveled through a thousand years of history, bringing vivid legends to life before your eyes.
This meticulously designed, large-scale lifting gauze screen — a rare innovation in China — unfolds into a magnificent canvas 32 meters wide and 7 meters high, suspended in the air as a stunning visual centerpiece. When it becomes “invisible,” it blends seamlessly into the nightscape of Guifeng, leaving no trace behind. This “invisible stage” achieves an unprecedented harmony between technology and nature. Every rise and fall, every graceful movement, brings unexpected moments of wonder, infusing the storytelling with a sense of magic and surprise.
The melodious tunes of Yiyang Opera echo through the night sky, while the steadfast spirit of Fang Zhimin shines in light and shadow, and the geological legends of Guifeng unfold across the gauze screen. The fusion of cutting-edge holographic projection and a massive lifting screen breathes new life into the ancient cultural heritage of Yiyang, which has slumbered for a thousand years. History is no longer confined to the pages of books—it flows vividly before your eyes, within reach, as an immersive epic. In this moment, you are no longer a passing visitor, but a witness and inheritor of a dialogue that transcends time and space.
“Following the Dream of Guilai” offers an immersive journey that leads visitors through the enchanting, light-filled landscapes of Guifeng—where every step follows the thread of a living story. Your eyes are captivated by a stunning display of light and shadow, while your ears are surrounded by original music inspired by the ancient tones of Yiyang Opera. Gentle breezes, soft mists, and the subtle scent of grass and trees—brought to life through modern technology—awaken all your senses.
