Christie Crimson series 3DLP laser projectors are powering the visuals of a new water curtain show at the Yellow River museum clusters in Qihe County.
Titled “Soul of the Winding Yellow River”, this large-scale cultural tourism performance forms part of the panoramic live show “Up and Down the River” and stands as the largest immersive water curtain show ever staged in Shandong Province.
Spanning a 180-metre wide water curtain, it recreates the myths of the Yellow River and the origins of Chinese civilisation through projection mapping technology.
A total of 10 Christie Crimson WU32 laser projectors, each supplied and installed by Beijing Zhongqing Display Technology, create a 18-metre high water screen.
Yangshun Jia, project manager, Beijing Zhongqing Display Technology, said: “Our team is honoured to draw upon years of experience in large-scale cultural tourism and performing arts projects to support this landmark production. The outstanding performance of the Christie Crimson WU32 projectors enables us to realise our creative vision with precision, allowing audiences to experience the dynamic interplay of light and shadow.”
Mounted on floating rafts in the middle of the lake, the projectors are exposed to significant water, mist, and humidity. To address this, they are housed in customised weatherproof enclosures with thermostats and cooling systems to regulate internal temperature and humidity, protecting them from the elements and ensuring stable operation in all weather conditions.
Han Kim, vice president of Sales, Asia-Pacific, Christie, commented: “‘Soul of the Winding Yellow River’ is a prime example of how technology can empower culture. The Crimson WU32, with its high brightness, vivid color reproduction, and strong environmental adaptability, performs reliably even in harsh weather, adding breathtaking visual impact to the performance. We’re delighted that Beijing Zhongqing Display Technology has successfully completed this project, where projection artistry plays a central role in celebrating and promoting the legacy of the Yellow River civilisation.”
