Several cities which served as the capitals of China back in ancient times have rolled out a variety of interesting culture- and history-themed activities to entertain visitors during the ongoing eight-day National Day and Mi-Autumn Festival holiday, enabling visitors to have immersive experiences. In Luoyang City of central China's Henan Province -- the capital of 13 ancient China dynasties, the five major museums have jointly launched a special event, providing one-stop, in-depth and engaging cultural experiences to visitors. At the Sui-Tang Dynasties Grand Canal Cultural Museum, museum guides dressed as ancient characters handed out museum maps to visitors and accompanied them on a tour to trace threads of history. In operating the joint event, the five major museums have all designated staff members to dress up in the style of ancient characters, offering guide services in tours and games like riddle-solving to visitors in a more interactive way. Meanwhile, Xianyang City of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, the capital of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-207 BC), has also launched a series of culture-related events, integrating the ancient city's cultural and historical profundity with modern vitality. At one of its scenic spots, a digital project "revitalizes" Terracotta Warriors with visual effects, so that visitors can pass through time and space to step into the historical setting. When the night falls, more colorful audio-visual feasts are presented to visitors. Drone shows and music performance are put on stage, allowing visitors from across the country to have a wonderful night. This year, the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday season runs until October 8. Shotlist: Luoyang City, Henan Province, central China - Oct 3, 2025: 1.
