The exhibition is co-hosted by the Xinjiang Museum and ALight Digital Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. The founder of the company, Wang Dong, explained that the exhibition leverages digital technology to empower historical artifacts and documentary materials, providing a multi-faceted and comprehensive "recreation" of the historical landscape of the Niya Ruins.

Visitors will have the opportunity to interactively "travel back in time" as archaeologists, embarking on a seven-day archaeological journey through the Kingdom of Jingjue. This exhibition integrates various innovative methods, including live scene recreation, digital light and shadow, VR technology, and theatrical performances, creating a rich and diverse digital interactive space. It offers audiences a fully immersive sensory experience, transforming the excellent traditional culture of China and the history of interactions among various ethnic groups into a tangible, visual, and profound experience.

"The exhibition aims to leverage digital intelligence to transcend spatial and temporal limitations, allowing audiences from across the country to experience a unique perspective of Xinjiang from their own homes, thereby igniting their desire to explore Xinjiang further. We plan to tour this exhibition in more cities to showcase and promote a genuine, multidimensional, and comprehensive view of China's Xinjiang," said Wang Dong.

He Jia, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Xinjiang Museum, introduced that this collaboration represents a significant effort to actively promote the transformation and enhancement of traditional exhibitions through digital technology, creating a new space for immersive smart tourism experiences and fostering the deep integration of the digital economy and tourism industry. "Next summer, we will bring this exhibition back to Xinjiang, opening a dedicated digital exhibition hall so that people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang can also enjoy a high-tech cultural feast," He Jia said.
