Show at rebuilt temple site brings history to life

The Porcelain Pagoda in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, was first known to the Western world for its gorgeous colorful glaze in the 19th century. Then, every night, 140 lamps were lit for illumination.

Now, it's remarkably different when you visit the rebuilt tower in the Great Bao'en Temple at night, when it turns into a natural stage with the shining pagoda as the backdrop.

Two stages rise from the ground as performers dance, with projections of images such as running horses on the pagoda's surface, which is actually a screen.
