      On May 19, 2013, China's first detective mystery travel microfilm "Detective Rugao" officially commenced filming in Rugao, Jiangsu Province, known as the "Land of Longevity," jointly produced by the People's Government of Rugao City and Shanghai Tianlai Communication Agency.

Speech by Ms. Yu from Tianlai at the premiere

    The premiere fully warmed up the audience for the microfilm through segments such as "Interactive Exploration," "Mystery Unveiling," and "Film Reviews." After screening several clips, fans at the scene imitated eight classic scenes of the detective, earning rounds of applause.

"Eight Detective Moves" Interactive Imitation Show

    This microfilm uses the "Eight Ways of Observation," a detective technique by Li Changyu — a modern-day Sherlock Holmes born in Rugao, Jiangsu — as the narrative thread to explore the longevity culture, floral arts and potted plants, humanities and history, longevity diet, folk customs, artisan crafts, and economic development of Rugao, the "Land of Longevity." It unveils the city’s rich tourism resources and showcases Rugao’s charm in full.

      Breaking away from traditional styles and the common trend of love-themed travel microfilms, this urban tourism microfilm draws creative inspiration from the classic crime-solving methods of Li Changyu, a renowned detective from Rugao. It features the "Eight Detective Moves" as the central clue, making it the first detective mystery-themed travel microfilm. The film follows the storyline of a real-life "Conan" exploring Rugao and a beautiful Rugao Normal School girl "Little S," who accept and complete eight special tasks assigned by the great detective Li Changyu. Each of the eight tasks corresponds to a unique tourism resource in Rugao. The film emphasizes storytelling, artistry, thoughtfulness, and style, and will be further promoted via various online platforms (video websites, Weibo, BBS, SNS, etc.) through EPR campaigns, ushering urban tourism promotion into the "micro" era.

   Through the filming of this microfilm and its online promotion, the visibility of Rugao’s urban tourism will be further enhanced, attracting more domestic and international tourists to "enjoy longevity" in Rugao, allowing micro-marketing to truly drive the robust development of Rugao’s tourism industry.
