Project Vision

A new cultural destination with local roots and a contemporary voice

As Shantou renews its cultural tourism offer and consumer economy, the project takes Xiangyuan as its central setting. It combines local cultural resources, market operations and brand integration to build a cultural technology experience around two connected strategies: commercial revitalisation and game IP interaction.

Protective adaptive reuse preserves the character of the historic environment while new content gives visitors more ways to understand and inhabit it. IP-based operations connect the site to younger audiences and create opportunities for continued participation beyond a single visit.

Commercial Revitalisation

A place to visit, interact, purchase and return to

The commercial programme supports the long-term operation of the site without separating consumption from cultural experience. Spatial design, products and activities work together as parts of one visitor journey.

Game IP Interaction

Characters become guides to local culture

Game IP introduces a playful layer across physical and digital environments. Characters, tasks and rewards invite younger visitors to discover cultural details and share their experiences.
