The design of this cinema is inspired by the cultural splendor of the Tang Dynasty, with a focus on integrating iconic elements such as eaves, brackets, and seals throughout the space. These traditional motifs are seamlessly blended with distinctive Tang-style artifacts and cultural landscapes, creating a modern yet immersive environment that reflects the grandeur of the prosperous Tang era. The aim is to transport visitors into a cinematic journey steeped in history and culture, offering an experience that resonates with both the past and present.
Spanning approximately 4,500 square meters, the cinema features 11 screening halls and a total of 1,026 seats. The design incorporates high-quality materials such as natural stone, terrazzo art tiles, aluminum panels, and cultural brick tiles, thoughtfully selected to create a space that harmonizes regional culture, historical context, and film artistry. The space aims to stand as the only multi-hall cinema in Xi'an that brings together these cultural and artistic elements.
The VIP screening halls are designed to provide a premium viewing experience, each equipped with luxurious electric sofa seats to offer ultimate comfort during the film. Among the various halls, Hall 2 stands out as the PRIME hall, featuring a JBL panoramic sound system with up to 128 channels for an unparalleled auditory experience. The giant screen is specially optimized to match film structure, ensuring even brightness and clarity from every seat. Using advanced visual restoration technology, this hall preserves the original effects of the film, maintaining perfect brightness and color reproduction.
Hall 7 takes a unique approach with a microcrystal metal screen, adding an extra layer of innovation to the cinema's offerings. All screening halls are equipped with Barco laser projectors from Belgium and JBL sound systems, guaranteeing exceptional audiovisual quality. Additionally, themed halls such as the executive and children's halls provide diverse options, ensuring that every customer can find a tailored and memorable viewing experience in this modern cultural cinema.
