The show starts off with animatronic animals of the zodiac performing while colored lights slowly illuminate Chinese architecture, with pots & paintings inside, & a fountain heading the stage as the animatronics move naturally to cultural music slowly fading away into act II.
The second act focuses on emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first Chinese emperor that is, the one to start the first organized Chinese government. (Despite a start in war) the Qin dynasty established Money, government, laws, & other cultural quirks. The act shows the principles & actions of Huang & Qin (modern Gansu & Shaanxi) geography.
The 3rd & pre-final act is based off of the cultural & military views of the last imperial dynasty. From the start to the end & from one emperor to another, till it finally reaches modern China.
The fourth & final act focuses on modern China & its new year festivals. With architecture, cuisine, animals, mythology, pottery, art, & general culture. In a festive celebration of lights, costumes, music, & dance. In this climactic finale that ties up this cultural show.
