Illuminating 'Xianghu Elegance', jointly performing a cultural legend.

In Hangzhou's Xianghu, aerial drone formations coordinate with stage performances, together interpreting the legend of "technology + culture," "digital + history," and "innovation + city" through a combination of ground and air, and multi-party linkage.

On the evening of June 30, 2024, the first large-scale immersive cross-temporal digital lake performance show of the Asian Games legacy in China, "Xianghu Elegance," was launched with a shock. Directed by Sha Xiaolan, the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Hangzhou Asian Games, and created with the Fengshang Culture Double Olympic and Double Asian team, it is a heartfelt production.

This performance contains a variety of modern technological elements, integrating the virtual and the real to retain the wonderful memories of the Asian Games, convey the spirit of Chinese civilization, showcase the natural scenery of the city, and plays an important role in protecting and inheriting Chinese cultural heritage.

HighGreat drone formations, as an important part of the technological elements of this performance, demonstrate agile and precise flight demonstrations, closely coordinating with the performers' brilliant performances, gorgeous stage lighting, passionate musical melodies, and various high-tech equipment, creating a new era of technological aesthetics and promoting the excellent traditional Chinese culture.

Inheriting the Asian Games spirit, retaining cultural essence

The Hangzhou Asian Games have penetrated people's hearts. The rich cultural heritage behind it carries historical memories, cultural essence, and national pride, which are worth remembering and inheriting. "Let the Asian Games leave behind" is the inner voice of many. "Xianghu Elegance" is based on the creative enhancement and normalization display of the wonderful programs of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Hangzhou Asian Games, leading the audience back to the Asian Games.

HighGreat drone formations, as the main medium for aerial display in this performance, with their unique flexibility and high degree of cooperation, form a reflection with the ground's landmark buildings and stage facilities.

It is worth mentioning that the main torch tower of the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games, "Qianjiang Tide Surge," was moved to Xianghu for more audiences who have not been to the opening ceremony to appreciate. The drone formation and the torch tower form a linkage, recreating the moment of the sacred fire lighting, allowing the audience to return to the digital lighting of the sacred fire at the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.

This performance show, with HighGreat drone formations, has retained the precious memories and essence of the Asian Games in a digital way, making a profound and novel interpretation of the spirit and cultural heritage of the Asian Games.

Depicting urban charm, exploring the roots of Chinese civilization

The misty rain in Jiangnan, the mountains are full of spirit and elegance. From the "First Boat of China" coming in waves, to the "Liangzhu Fire" rising into the sky, to the elegant mountains and waters of the Jiangnan painting, and the elegant life of the Song rhyme, the aerial drone formation practices the concept of "understanding a city through a show." Following the changes of the stage, they jointly perform the beauty of nature, humanity, and sports, showcasing the charm of Xianghu and the charm of Hangzhou, conveying the legend and spirit of Chinese civilization that has flowed for thousands of years, and highlighting the vigorous power brought by the new era of technological civilization.

Empowering new quality tourism, opening up a path of inheritance

The "14th Five-Year" cultural industry development plan lists the deep integration of culture and tourism as one of the main goals of industrial development, depicting a development path of "cultivating tourism with culture, and highlighting culture with tourism" for China's cultural and tourism integration, and also clarifying the importance and necessity of developing new quality tourism.

This "Xianghu Elegance" integrates the new trend of technological aesthetics with new content of Chinese aesthetics, which is a perfect presentation of new quality tourism. The addition of drone formations enhances the organic combination of artistic pursuit and cultural technology, better empowering the new quality of cultural tourism productivity.

HighGreat drone formations, combined with other new technological means, profound historical civilization, and diverse artistic presentations, promote the integration and innovation of the cultural tourism industry, and achieve high-quality development. With this new type of cultural tourism, a new path for the inheritance and protection of cultural heritage is opened.
