China Trendsetting Gala
Drawing from the unique aesthetic of "borrowed scenery" from Chinese gardens, we transformed the classical viewport into a digital stage, framing a vibrant, flowing scroll of contemporary China-chic.

About
A Scene Reborn
The core inspiration is drawn from the 'hollow windows' of Suzhou gardens. Their genius lies in 'borrowed scenery'—the window itself is an artistic frame, capturing the infinite scenery beyond into a movable painting. Taking this as our core, we enlarged and reassembled this classical viewport to form the stage's visual centerpiece, shaping the stage portals into surging waves with modern architectural structures. The stage itself becomes a living scroll presented to the world, reflecting the vibrant dynamism of contemporary China through a classical viewport.
