I Origin

In 2001, the incredible discovery of Jinsha site, center of the ancient Shu kingdom, shocked the world. In August 2005, the Sun and Immortal Birds Gold Foil unearthed at this location was selected as the main image on the logo of Chinese cultural heritage. In a bid to revive the mysterious and magnificent culture of ancient times, three groups from the city cultural, broadcasting & TV, and newspaper industry had invested 30 million yuan in the creation of the musical, while working together with prominent musicians like Sao Bao. It is the first large-scale one made originally in China.

Jinsha revives the relics, and transformed them into beautiful scenes on stage. With 3D animation and high definition audiovisual technologies, Jinsha told a tragic love story between the ancient Shu princess gold and the archaeologist sand across a time of 3000 years.

III Back at Home
