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
