 By combining the TV series and Tang cultural elements into the 24,000-square-meter commercial space, the complex creates a space that integrates Tang-style market experience, immersive interaction, Tang music and dance performances, and cultural entertainment, taking tourists on trip back in time to the prosperous days of the Tang Dynasty.
