The Foshan Spring Festival Cultural and Tourism Series recently began with an opening ceremony at the upcoming "Eternal Love of Guangdong" attraction in Romance Park, Nanhai District, Foshan.
Hailed as a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle, "Eternal Love of Guangdong" stands as the crown jewel of the first Romance Park in Guangdong, weaving a cultural legend of the Pearl River Delta that celebrates the Cantonese spirit of bold and innovation through an impressive visual and auditory experience.
Highlight 1: awesome special effects techniques
The mesmerizing special effects bring fantasies to life and elevate the tourist experience. Imagine the awe as the Pearl River's waters cascade from above, with torrents flooding the stage, making waves surge towards the audience. The moment a colossal ship to Southeast Asia sails into the theater, the stage morphs into a vast ocean of soaring waves and heart-stopping action.
Accompanied by a resounding cry of "Wong Fei-hung is here", a precision wire-flying system sends the legendary master gliding through a "barrage of bullets," showcasing the finesse of Guangdong martial arts.
The scene shifts to a solemn battlefield, resonating with the boom of drums as swordsmen on wires execute aerial maneuvers; Lady Xian, in full armor, and warhorses on treadmills add to the spectacle.
This performance masterfully blends reality with fantasy, immersing the audience in a vibrant tableau that marries ancient culture with modern innovation, highlighting the fusion of Lingnan heritage with the global stage.
Highlight 2: thrilling martial arts showcases
Foshan, celebrated as the "City of Kung Fu," boasts Wong Fei-hung as its cultural symbol, embodying the integrity and spirit of the Cantonese.
"For the nation, for the people, in the true spirit of a hero." The moment "Wong Fei-hung" flashes on screen, applause thunders, setting the scene for a martial arts extravaganza. As the curtain rises and the lights come on, the figure of Wong Fei-hung moves through the air, with martial arts performers displaying agile and flexible movements, performing high-difficulty stunts that accelerate the audience's heartbeat.
The lion dance stirs patriotic fervor, complemented by the rhythmic beat of drums. To the powerful strains of "A Man Should Strengthen Himself," martial artists from this revered hometown of kung fu captivate with dynamic performances, featuring the iconic Foshan Shadowless Kick that sends adrenaline surging through the venue.
Highlight 3: captivating melodies and dances
The melody of string and wind instruments sets the stage, as performers gracefully express delicate emotions with the wave of hands, the swirl of a skirt, and the delicate step of a dance, painting a picture of elegance and beauty.
Under the soft glow of the evening, amid the whisper of the breeze, the allure of Southern belles in the Qilou buildingsis timeless and profound.
Echoing Guangzhou's vibrant past as a bustling trade port in the 1920s and 1930s, the performance under neon lights captures the unique charm of the city where East meets West.
Highlight 4: echoes of homesickness in qiaopi letters
The performance deeply touches audiences with its heartfelt portrayal of patriotism, as seen through the sword of Lady Xian in battle, the thunderous punches and kicks of Wong Fei-hung against the Japanese pirates, and the poignant tales of overseas Chinese steadfast in their roots despite being far from home.
"As clouds from my hometown drift past, they beckon me..." The display of countless letters from overseas Chinese unfolds before the audience, bridging vast distances and evoking vivid memories of loved ones and the bittersweet pang of longing.
