Chengdu’s skyline just got a mythical upgrade! 🏙️ On May 18, the city’s bustling streets became a canvas for a jaw-dropping naked-eye 3D display featuring Ne Zha, the fiery hero from China’s blockbuster animated film. The digital marvel made it look like the beloved character was literally leaning out of buildings, waving at stunned onlookers below. Talk about next-level street art! 🎨
This tech spectacle, rolled out across multiple iconic locations in Sichuan’s capital, uses cutting-edge projection systems to create immersive illusions—no VR headsets required. Imagine stopping for bubble tea and seeing a 10-story-tall Ne Zha grinning at you. 😱
Why Ne Zha?
The 2019 film Ne Zha isn’t just a box-office legend—it’s a cultural reset. By blending ancient folklore with Pixar-level animation, it’s become a symbol of China’s creative renaissance. This display? Pure fan service for Gen Z and millennials who stan the rebellious deity. 🙌
‘Like Living Inside a Movie’
‘I’ve never seen anything like this,’ said local resident Li Wei, 24, who filmed the display for her TikTok. ‘It’s like Chengdu turned into a theme park overnight.’ 🎢
City officials hint this is just the start. With Chengdu pushing its rep as China’s ‘Silicon Valley of the West,’ expect more AR/VR mashups blending tech and tradition. 🚀
