Old Beijing Comes Alive Exhibition Hall

　　Based on the 220-meter-long handscroll painting "A Panoramic View of Old Beijing" by Mr. Wang Daguan, a People's Artist of Beijing, which depicts the full panorama of old Beijing in the 1930s, and inspired by the presentation style of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" at the China Pavilion during the Shanghai Expo, this exhibition was produced by the original creative team. The "Old Beijing Comes Alive" exhibition digitally showcases, on a massive 228-meter-long and 3-meter-high screen, the architecture from the painting such as city walls, temples, residences, and restaurants, as well as scenes of daily life including weddings, shopping, and watching opera. In terms of scale, artistic breadth and depth, as well as content and presentation, the "Old Beijing Comes Alive" exhibition has completely surpassed the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" display at the Expo, and can be considered the best in the world.
