Above the ground covered with small white stones are several tile-eaves, as if the actual houses are buried inside the whiteness. With fog arising from the ground, you can stroll around to see people from all walks of life - a fortune-teller, an elderly porter, a monk sitting on the ground and four people playing mahjong on a table.

Suddenly a young woman comes up and asks: "Have you seen the sea of clouds on Mount E'mei? Do you believe the sea of clouds also have a life?"

The scene is a prelude to the recently premiered Unique Mount E'mei, which is set in the mountain in Sichuan province. And these performers represent people's lives in the sea of clouds.

After that, the audience sees a performance with holographic projection and can walk around for several immersive shows where they can watch performers closely and interact with them.

The show combines the mountain's history and Buddhist culture, with traditional Chinese values.

Unique Mount E'mei is the first installment of the Unique series of director Wang Chaoge and she also plans to produce a show in the series based on classic Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber.

"I want to excel using innovation. This production showcases the beauty of traditional Chinese aesthetics," she says.

Speaking about her work, she says: "Artists and audiences should be equal. So, I don't intend to educate anyone. I just share my opinions in my work, which appeal to both refined and popular tastes."
