Through "traveling", the ladies from Tang Palace also visited Yingtianmen and Mingtang in Luoyang, the Qingming Riverside Garden in Kaifeng, and the Star Observation Deck in Dengfeng, giving the audience a series of beautiful performances. Among them, the most amazing one should be the performance of "Hibiscus Pond" in Luoyang Mingtang. The young ladies wore golden skirts, held lotus lanterns in their hands, and showed off their charm in every gesture, vividly expressing the beauty of the ancient capital of Luoyang, which made the audience say "it's not enough". Regarding these ingenious designs, Chen Lei, chief director of the Henan Spring Festival Gala, said that this performance uses 5G+AR technology to combine the virtual scene with the real stage. Coupled with multiple recordings by the actors and the efforts of the technical staff, this performance is presented It felt like a "wonderful night at the museum" at the end.

One of the filming locations for "Tang Palace Night Banquet" this time was the Mingtang in Luoyang. The program team designed a very beautiful dance and placed it in this 1:1 restored building. The exquisite dance is paired with the bright hall known as the "Wanxiang Temple", the picture is both beautiful and has a sense of historical sedimentation.

There is also a star observatory in Dengfeng. Xu Na, the executive planner of the program, explained that one of the reasons for choosing the star observatory was to reflect the curiosity and exploration of astronomy by our ancestors.

The real star observatory is really thoughtful.

Director Chen Lin also believes that the reason why "Tang Palace Night Banquet" is so successful is the perfect combination of history and culture, fine art and modern technology, and is also the result of Zhengzhou's continuous efforts in literary and artistic creation.
