One is a night cruise tour along the gurgling Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The voyage covers a distance of 9.6 kilometers and lasts about one hour.
The tour deploys light and shadow technologies, including holographic projections, augmented reality interactions, and naked-eye 3D displays, and is further enhanced by live performances. Visitors have the chance to experience immersive recreations depicting Yangzhou's history from its inception to its zenith, as well as the canal's millennia-old past.

The other is an immersive virtual reality (VR) theater inspired by China's major streaming platform iQIYI's phenomenal production Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2: To the West.
Using VR technology, special effects, and 6D sensory equipment, it breaks through temporal and spatial limitations and single-sense perceptions, allowing audiences to embark on a cultural journey through the prosperous splendor of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) imbued with contemporary aesthetics.
