Gathering in Huajueping Graffiti Art Street, with light as the pen and graffiti building as the paper, the artists portray a colorful picture scroll. The facade becomes an outdoor art museum showcasing a collection of imaginary and dream-like artworks.

There are rich contents and profound connotations in these light artworks, some of which call for wildlife protection, such as a Whale created by the team called The Lost from Shenzhen, China. The shining lights and touching music show the close connection between nature and human life. Moreover, The Dream Recollection, designed by the team from Monaco, presents dream-like states and visions, which allows the audiences to witness a flow of pictural visions created from an accumulation of perceptions and images.

The light show is supported by 3D Mapping technology, also called structural projection, which can break the physical space through the projection technology to reflect specific animation onto the object's surface. It can achieve the perfect integration of objects and animation, supplemented with shocking sounds, making a stunning combination of reality and imagination.
