'Vibrant China' media tour in Hunan: Hit show brings Hunan street to life

As night falls in Changde city, Central China’s Hunan province, visitors follow actors during the live performance Changde Stories, walking and riding boats. They move between the waterfront and ancient streets as the story unfolds.

Blending local intangible cultural heritage elements, immersive storytelling and digital technology, the performance is breathing new life into the historic riverside district, boosting tourism and local consumption and evolving into a citywide cultural brand.
