Dream Valley in Hengdian

　　The Hengdian Dream Valley scenic area consists of four major zones: the Dream Culture Village, Hengdian Old Street, Jiangnan Water Town, and the Water World. Spanning 430 acres, it is a large-scale nighttime film and television experience theme park that primarily showcases various natural phenomena and landscapes such as volcanic eruptions and flash floods, complemented by a variety of amusement facilities and live performance activities.

　　The “Dream Culture Village” mainly features attractions such as the Starry River Square Tonight, the Ape’s Home, the Eagle King’s Sacred Waterfall, the Ancient Imperial Palace, the Golden Poplar, the Blue Moon Gate, the Earth-Shattering Ride, the Joyful Frog Jump, the Liao Liao Castle, the Rockin’ Bench Ride, the Pirate Storm, the Amazon Express, the Java Jump, the Arjuna Hammer, the Snowfield Flying Eagle, the Lucky Carousel, the Snow Mountain Moon, the Prayer Wheel, and the Mani Stone Pile.

　　The “Jiangnan Water Town” captures the essence of the water towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, vividly displaying the daily life and diverse charm of the region during the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period. One of the two major highlight shows in the scenic area, “Flash Flood,” is spectacularly staged here every evening.

　　The “Water World” covers an area of 90 acres and is designed based on the geographical features of the Mediterranean region, with a cultural backdrop inspired by the Middle East and themed around the world-famous story collection “One Thousand and One Nights.” It includes the One Thousand and One Nights Water Play Area, the Mediterranean Wave Zone, the Turkish Ancient City Zone, the Hurricane Bay Adventure Zone, along with supporting facilities such as changing rooms, shops, a medical center, and a lost children’s center. The area boasts large-scale water rides and play zones such as the Aden Storm, the Euphrates Slide, the Simba Magic Carpet, the Poseidon Bowl, the Doha Slide, and the Aegean Blue Sea (wave zone and tsunami zone), with a visitor capacity of over 10,000 people.

　　The Dream Valley scenic area centers around the themes of “catastrophic thrills” and “interactive participation games.” Leveraging film and television techniques and high-tech elements, it creates a richly dreamlike atmosphere and fosters a trendy experience-based tourism destination. It marks a significant shift for Hengdian World Studios away from static sightseeing tourism.

　　The scenic area features two major performance highlights: “Dream Tai Chi” and “Flash Flood.”

　　The world’s largest live volcanic performance, “Dream Tai Chi,” uses the concept of “Tai Chi” as its core element, focusing on expressing the philosophy of “harmony” from the “Book of Changes.” It illustrates the dynamic between humans and nature, or between humans and all things—whether they repel or harmonize with one another—and vividly demonstrates the harmonious ideals that “harmony benefits all, conflict leads to destruction” and “harmony gives birth to all things.” The show extensively utilizes high-tech elements such as multimedia, lasers, and LED lights, and presents its narrative through dance, acrobatics, magic, and film special effects. With dazzling costumes, graceful dances, thrilling music, breathtaking stunts, and dreamy colors, it offers a spectacular artistic feast that allows you to appreciate the profound wisdom of Chinese Yi culture in an atmosphere of joy and wonder.

　　The country’s first disaster-themed live-action spectacular, “Flash Flood,” dramatically recreates thunderstorms, torrential rain, and raging flash floods. Two hundred tons of floodwater rush toward you in an instant, offering you a zero-distance experience of thrill and excitement.
