One of the highlights of the show is the spectacular recreation of local landmarks such as the beautiful Geyuan Garden, which is often referred to as one of China's "four famous gardens".
Cutting-edge 3-D projection technology is used to depict the garden during all four seasons, along with the Grand Canal and Yangzhou's old-style cobbled streets.
