The ancient Tang Dynasty is widely

regarded as a high point in Chinese

civilization, and a golden age of

cosmopolitan culture. Founded in

618 AD, it flourished under the rule of

Emperor Taizong and became the most

powerful and prosperous country in the

world. During this glorious period, the

economy, politics, culture and military

strength reached an impressive level.

The Tang Dynasty also holds the unique

distinction of having China’s only female

emperor – Empress Wu Zetian, who

reigned from 690-705 AD. During her

political heyday, two of the grandest

architectural wonders known as Tian Tang

(Heavenly Hall) and Ming Tang (Hall of

Enlightenment) were built as symbols of

splendor and opulence. The former was

intended for meetings with government

officials, while the latter was designated

for religious ceremonies. However, both

iconic towers were destroyed by fire in

695 AD.

Fortunately, the two legendary towers

are not forgotten despite the passage

of time. Full-scale replicas of these

structures have been reconstructed at

the Sui and Tang Luoyang City National

Heritage Park in 2015 as part of the

Chinese government’s push to promote

cultural development. This new tourist

Results: The Christie GS Series projectors create stunning visuals on the backdrop of the impressive sand table model portraying the height of the Tang Dynasty. The projections beautifully complement realistic buildings, flora and figurines in Ming Tang, which have become a popular attraction in the heritage park.

The facade of Ming Tang at the Sui and Tang Luoyang City National Heritage Park

attraction, located in Henan Province, is

built on the remnants of the palaces when

Luoyang was China’s imperial capital

during the Sui and Tang dynasties. It aims

to emulate the original Tian Tang and

Ming Tang, and provide a glimpse of the

history to modern visitors.

The nine-story-high Ming Tang houses

a spectacular sand table model of the

ancient city of Luoyang, which covers

an area of 130 square meters and is

built to a scale of 1:800. The backdrop

of this massive sand table is powered

by Christie® GS Series laser phosphor

projectors, which play an instrumental role

in restoring the ancient glory of the city.

Lifelike visuals such as blue skies, birds in

flight, junk ships sailing on the river and

endless mountains in the background

are displayed using five ceiling-mounted

Christie DWU555-GS laser phosphor

projectors installed by Christie’s valued

partner, Wincomn Technology.

Equipped with full HD resolution and

an impressive illumination life of 20,000

hours, the projections create a stunning

contrast against authentic buildings, flora

and figurines meticulously put together

by skilled craftsmen.

“When it comes to the selection of

projection systems, the end user is very

selective and only wanted the best. They

eventually decided on Christie projectors

due to their impressive performance,

outstanding track record in China and

numerous accolades,” said Tony Chen,

General Manager, Wincomn Technology.

“In view of the large projection canvas in

the backdrop, five Christie DWU555-GS

projectors were needed to seamlessly

blend the images together to form a

complete panorama that brings ancient

culture and history to life.”

Chen noted that the Christie GS Series

laser phosphor projectors are ideal for

this setup due to their long hours of

uninterrupted operation.

“The deciding factor was its 20,000

hours of low-cost operation, which was

exactly what the end user was looking

for. At the same time, the GS Series’

other advantages such as long-lasting

brightness, accurate color reproduction,

image quality, 24/7 reliability, as well

as blending and warping capabilities

The amazing backdrop of the massive sand table is powered by five Christie DWU555-GS laser phosphor projectors
