The Mutianyu Great Wall has stood silently in the Yanshan Mountains for hundreds of years. It has witnessed countless people coming up the stone steps—marveling at the green distant mountains, taking group photos as souvenirs, then panting after climbing a few sections, and finally concluding their journey with the saying, "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."
But starting from this grand occasion where the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival overlap, this XR experience will completely subvert your inherent perception of "climbing the Great Wall."
A XR time-travel experience titled "The Epic of the Great Wall" is now dressing the Mutianyu Great Wall in a new "garment" that blends technology and history, inviting you to unlock a brand-new experience of "touching a thousand years of history."
When you stand on the bricks of Mutianyu: one moment, you are pausing to admire the scenery of mountains and rivers before your eyes; The next moment, the horns of the Qin Dynasty drift through time with the wind, echoing in your ears.
Before you can recover from the harshness of the Qin era, the armor of the Han Dynasty gently covers your shoulders—as if you can see the magnificent scene of blood staining the sky at night on the border.
In the blink of an eye, the bustle of the Tang Dynasty markets surges toward you; the "flower rain" of the Silk Road brushes your sleeves, and the camel bells are filled with the prosperity of trade among nations.
When you finally regain your senses, you find yourself at the border passes of the Ming Dynasty, joining soldiers in lighting firecrackers and witnessing the warm moments of harmonious coexistence among various ethnic groups.
This is not an illusory fantasy, nor a movie on the screen. It is an immersive dream woven with XR technology by the Mutianyu Great Wall and Qiyuan Fenghuang. Here, the Great Wall is no longer just a symbol of "length" stretching for ten thousand miles, but a "time link" connecting the historical events of four dynasties—Qin, Han, Tang, and Ming.
When the virtual and the real merge here, you can personally decode the spiritual genes of the Chinese nation—"unity is strength and harmonious coexistence"—and truly "step into" the three-dimensional epic that the Mutianyu Great Wall has carried for a thousand years.
To make this time-travel experience more warm and interactive, we have carefully created four highlights to bring history "to life" from the pages of books and place it in the palm of your hand.
1. The Combination of AR Technology and Real-Life NPCs: Immersion That Touches the Heart
All you need to do is stretch out your hands to participate in laying bricks and building the Great Wall, and feel the perseverance of the Qin Dynasty craftsmen;
Pick up a sword to experience the lofty spirit of the Han Dynasty soldiers; Dance to the music to blend into the grace and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty; Press a seal to keep a memento of the Ming Dynasty.
History is no longer distant words—it becomes a tangible reality within your reach.
2. High-Octane Plot Across Four Dynasties: A "Luban Stone" Is the Key to Unlocking Time
From the brick-laying of the Qin Dynasty to the border defense of the Han Dynasty, from the Silk Road trade of the Tang Dynasty to the ethnic coexistence of the Ming Dynasty—each journey comes with an exclusive identity and mission.
This time, you are no longer a tourist passing by in a hurry, but a key figure driving the course of history. Through the plot, you will understand the story behind every brick of the Mutianyu Great Wall.
3. Digital Reproduction of "Luban's Craftsmanship" and "Qianji Mechanism": Cyber Romance with Chinese Style Blooms Here
We use technology to recreate the ingenuity of ancient mechanisms, reviving Luban's legends in the digital world.
There is no simple "time travel" here—only the overlap of the past and the future. The bricks under your feet are the accumulation of a thousand years, and the light and shadow before your eyes are the vision of the future. And this three-dimensional epic is waiting for you to write a new chapter with your steps and experiences.
4. Bilingual Services and Cultural and Creative Souvenirs: Resonance of Civilization Transcends National Borders
Bilingual (Chinese and English) AR subtitles and audio guides tell the world the Chinese spirit embodied in the Great Wall.
At the end of the experience, the carefully designed cultural and creative products will "package" your "time-travel memories"—turning a thousand years of time into a collectible keepsake that you can tuck into your pocket and take home.
The Great Wall has never been just a wall separating the inside and the outside.
It is the foundation stones soaked with the sweat of the Qin people; It is the beacon towers guarded with the blood of the Han generals; It is the crenels brushed by the camel bells of the Tang merchants; It is the city towers warmed by the handshakes of the Ming people.
The Mutianyu Great Wall is the embodiment of the belief in "unity is strength" over thousands of years, and a carrier of cultural inheritance.
This time, we do not want to instill knowledge through words—we just want to hand you a "costume" and an identity, inviting you to step into this time-travel journey. The history hidden in the gaps between the bricks and the resonance across a thousand years will quietly take root the moment you reach out to touch them.
No matter if you are from the East or the West, no matter if you are well-versed in Chinese history or just encountering it for the first time—
Right now, the Mutianyu Great Wall is here, "with XR as the gate and time as the guide", inviting you to refresh all your imaginations of the "Great Wall."
Are you ready to take the "time-travel key" that belongs to you and join me on this thousand-year appointment?
