The "Legend of Southern Fujian" show, a live-action performance that seems to move, is planned, written, and directed by Xia Chunting, Chairman of Huaxia Cultural Tourism Group. In creating "Legend of Southern Fujian," the essence of Southern Fujian culture is integrated into a grand tapestry of myths, legends, folk customs, and historical figures, creating a moving, suspenseful, and culturally rich experience. The entire performance is divided into six acts: "The Creation of Egret Island," "Battle of the Island City," "Adventures in Southeast Asia," "Fishing Village Life," "Descendants of the Dragon," and "Blessing China." With the aim of being "visually appealing, auditoryly engaging, and entertaining," it is a performance that is accessible to all, enjoyable for all, and sure to delight the audience. Sitting in the "moving" stands, the audience is transported to different parts of the theater as the story unfolds, embodying the essence of Southern Fujian culture. At times, they are immersed in a battlefield, and at other times, in a dreamlike landscape. The regular performances utilize as many as 47 inventions, and feature super cultural and entertainment experiences such as a 10-story high-altitude dive that exceeds human limits, thrilling jet ski racing, a magnificent 2,000-ton drop of water from the sky, a 17-meter-long dragon rising from the water, and a 19-meter-tall Mazu statue taking to the stage, bringing the audience a suspenseful, shocking, exciting, and joyful experience.
