Inspired by the Chinese literary classic “Journey to the West”, the Macau team took spectators on a mythical adventure through a combination of symphonic music, electronic soundscapes and water-based fireworks effects - a signature strength that has helped the team earn international recognition.

A series of familiar musical pieces recreated iconic scenes from the beloved tale “Journey to the West”.
