🦊 The love legend of Liu Hai and the white fox fairy

Adapted from the traditional Hunan flower-drum opera Liu Hai Chops Wood, Tianmen Fox Fairy: New Liu Hai Chops Wood tells a love story between the woodcutter Liu Hai and a thousand-year-old white fox fairy that transcends the boundary between human and fox. The entire Tianmen Mountain Grand Canyon is the stage — the mountains are the backdrop, the water is the melody, and the lighting turns the canyon into a real mythological world.

The show features over 500 cast and crew and uses the world's largest panoramic FRP stage, naked-eye 3D projection technology, and a surround sound system. With the renowned composer Tan Dun as artistic director, the music blends western Hunan folk song elements with modern symphony, delivering an extremely stunning auditory experience.
