Imagine flipping through a family album where every page whispers tales of newfound possibilities. That’s the vibe of The Gateway of Time, a nostalgia-packed journey to 1990s China when households buzzed with excitement over first-time luxuries—like imported TVs and freshly varnished furniture.
For many, this era marked a turning point as the Chinese mainland embraced reform and opening-up policies. Families worked tirelessly to afford what once seemed out of reach, echoing today’s hustle culture—just with fewer smartphones and more hand-knitted tablecloths.
The interactive experience lets you ‘time-travel’ to 1999, blending personal memories with collective milestones. Remember the pride of saving up for a big purchase? Or the scent of new wood that signaled ‘we made it’? This isn’t just history—it’s a mirror reflecting universal dreams of progress.
