Christie projections light Yellow River Tower
- Details
Located in Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province, the 90m high Yellow River Tower is the centrepiece of a night-time extravaganza titled The Great Lanzhou, which made its official debut on 29 September ahead of China’s 71st National Day celebrations. The outdoor show features 3D projection mapping, stage lighting, lasers, atmospheric effects and live performances to tell the story of the Yellow River basin - birthplace of ancient Chinese civilisation, and the most prosperous region in early Chinese history.
Projection is accomplished by Christie’s newly-appointed distributor Zhongqing Yingye Group using 32 Christie 1DLP and 3DLP laser projectors comprising DWU2022-HS and Crimson WU31 models featuring Christie BoldColor Technology, which offers enhanced colour performance and saturation. They are strategically installed to deliver bright and colourful visuals on the Yellow River Tower’s eastern face, as well as the grand stairway and podium in front of it.
A spokesperson for Zhongqing Yingye Group said: “We are proud to be involved in this landmark 3D projection mapping light show that highlights the history, culture and development of the Yellow River and Lanzhou. Christie’s high-brightness HS Series and Crimson Series laser projectors, known for their long-lasting solid-state illumination in a rugged and compact chassis, are our top choices for this project. Equipped with powerful and easy to use features, they are well suited for demanding, large venue events and applications.”
The elaborate light-up ceremony, attended by Lanzhou City government officials and other VIPs, included an engaging storytelling sequence complemented by a slew of projections that provided an artistic and strong visual impact.
Zhongqing Yingye Group’s spokesperson added that the show’s high-quality projections has set a new benchmark for cultural night tourism in China’s north western region, and the client is very satisfied with the outcome.
April Qin, director of sales, Enterprise, Christie China, commented, “We are delighted that Zhongqing Yingye Group has accomplished this amazing project in Lanzhou that aptly demonstrates the capabilities of our HS and Crimson Series laser projectors.
