- Cultural Fusion: Enjoy shows like “Ignite the Dream – A Nighttime Spectacular of Magic and Light”, which blends fireworks, projections, and water effects set to Disney classics reimagined with Chinese musical motifs.

- Character Meet-and-Greets: Meet Mickey Mouse dressed in a Tang-style robe or encounter Moana, Mulan, and even Baymax — many characters appear in culturally inspired costumes unique to this park.
