Perfect Blend of Technology and “Chinoiserie” Art Style
Covering an area of more than 16,000 square feet, the Center is divided into five main sections where visitors will have the opportunity to try on some stunning Hanfu costumes, enjoy the Immersive Show & VR Experience, take stunning photos with magical decorations, savor delicious treats, and even purchase themed souvenirs to take home so they can relive their romantic moments anytime, anywhere. With the help of state-of-the-art VR technology, highly realistic 3D modeling, and Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC), along with numerous mechanical devices, the project delivers an immersive entertainment experience that blends virtuality and reality.
The Hanfu Experience offers 220 exquisite costumes for guests of all ages, as well as professional makeup and hairstyling services to embody the elegance of ancient China while delving into the rich history and cultural significance behind each garment. Visitors can capture magical moments and transport themselves into the enchanting world of “Love Between Fairy and Devil”, perfect for taking stunning photos and selfies that will make you feel like you’ve stepped right into a scene from the drama.
The Immersive Show will be led by real-life non-player characters (NPC). Following the storyline, players will work together to solve mysteries and unlock various mechanisms, eventually entering the VR Experience area. Once equipped with VR gear, players will transform into characters from the drama and embark on a thrilling and exciting adventure. Players can experience cutting-edge VR equipment along with sensor devices such as servo motors, dynamic platforms, audio vibrations, and more, to fully engage their five senses by simulating sensations like touch, wind, ice, heat, and weightlessness.

The collaboration between Galaxy Macau and iQIYI has achieved breakthroughs not only in technology but also in the promotion of culture. Every detail within the Experience Center incorporates rich elements of traditional Chinese style, from architectural design to interactive content, reflecting a deep respect for, and promotion of, Chinese traditional culture.
At the opening ceremony, Galaxy Macau announced that there are more traditional Chinese-themed events in the pipeline, especially during upcoming festivals such as the Qixi Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. These events will feature a myriad of onsite experiences that blend ancient charm with modern innovation, not only enriching visitors’ experiences in Macau but also setting the city on track for the cross-sector integration of “tourism + culture”.
