Perfect Blend of Technology and "Chinoiserie" Art Style

Covering an area of more than 16,000 square feet, the Center is divided into five main sections where visitors will have the opportunity to try on some stunning Hanfu costumes, enjoy the Immersive Show & VR Experience, take stunning photos with magical decorations, savor delicious treats, and even purchase themed souvenirs to take home so they can relive their romantic moments anytime, anywhere.

Players can experience cutting-edge VR equipment along with sensor devices such as servo motors, dynamic platforms, audio vibrations, and more, to fully engage their five senses by simulating sensations like touch, wind, ice, heat, and weightlessness.
