At 7:30 pm, with a long whistle, the cruise ship slowly departed from the Wushan Tourist Center Pier. At this moment, the "Light of the Three Gorges" officially kicked off. Unlike the monotonous and dazzling traditional light shows, this immersive light and shadow narrative with the "Yangtze River Civilization" as its thread blends natural landscapes, historical context, and modern technology into one.
Standing on the cruise ship, before my eyes was a beautiful and moving scene: countless lights flickering in the night sky, as if stars had landed on earth. In the distance, the contours of the mountains are faintly visible, while nearby, high-rise buildings are brightly lit, and neon lights outline the prosperity of the city. On the river, cruise ships slowly pass by, their lights complementing the brilliance on the shore.
As the cruise ship sailed, the scenery on both sides of the strait unfolded like a slowly unfolding scroll - the old and new cities, high and low, were now awakened by beams of blue and purple light, with clear outlines visible; On the river, the lights on both sides are reflected, like a flowing Milky Way.
While enjoying the night view, "Three Gorges Light" will also combine drama, song and dance art with light and shadow performances, creating a new cultural and tourism night tour product that combines "culture", "technology", and "entertainment" through "internal and external linkage" and "virtual real combination".
What is particularly shocking is the use of projection technology to project the allusions from "Gao Tang Fu" and "Divine Maiden Fu" onto steep cliffs, bringing to life the romantic legends of King Xiang of Chu and the Goddess of Wushan through the interplay of light and shadow. At the same time, it also showcased the advanced deeds of Mao Xianglin, the secretary of the Xiazhuang Village Party Branch in Wushan County, Chongqing, reflecting the "Three Gorges Spirit" of the new era. Using modern technology's light and shadow techniques as brush and ink, borrowing millennium cliffs as a painting, and carrying the Yangtze River water as a paintbrush, it has become a new landmark tailored for night tours in Wushan.
The night tour of "The Light of the Three Gorges" has left a deep impression on overseas media reporters. Everyone has expressed that the night view of Wushan is so beautiful, and we should increase publicity efforts to let more overseas friends and compatriots see the magnificent rivers and mountains of our motherland.
