Chunjiao, a young lady, unexpectedly travels back to the Song Dynasty and becomes an ordinary hawker.🎞️ She experiences life as an NPC (non-player character), slowly awakens to her own sense of humanity, and even becomes entangled in a complicated romance with two other NPCs during her adventure at the Hengdian Along the River During the Qingming Festival Scenic Area.🧑‍🧑‍🧒💔 In the end, she wakes up in her room and realises that it was a dream. Yet, upon further reflection, she begins to suspect it might have been more than that. 💭

We used close-up shots and invited local NPCs to freely immerse themselves in the storyline, showcasing the many ways to enjoy this area, such as interactive experiences, captivating scenery and live performances.🌉 The park perfectly recreates the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty, allowing every visitor to experience life as an ancient.✨

少女春嬌意外穿越到宋朝，成為了一名普通的小販。🎞️ 她在橫店清明上河圖園區的旅程中，體驗了 NPC（非玩家角色）的生活，逐漸喚醒了身為人的意識，並與另外兩名 NPC 陷入了愛恨糾纏的故事裏🧑‍🧑‍🧒💔。故事的結尾，她在自己的房間醒來，恍惚間意識到方才一切不過是黃粱一夢，卻又發現了現實中的蹊蹺💭。是次拍攝我們採用了大量的特寫鏡頭，並邀請當地的 NPC 自由地融入故事情節，展示了清明上河圖園區的不同特色，如人物互動、風景、現場表演等🌉。園區的環境與氛圍完美展現了北宋時期的繁華景象，使前來的遊客皆可融入古人的世界，流連忘返。✨

[🪷Lotus Heaven - Student Work from “Exploring Light and Shadow: Journey to Hangzhou Hengdian” Study Trip🎥]

Watch this video to explore one of the ten scenes of West Lake, a place renowned not only for its stunning views but also for its lingering scents! 🏞️👃🏻

This video was filmed at Quyuan Fenghe (Breeze-Ruffled Lotus at Quyuan Garden), located on the western side of West Lake, in front of the Yue Fei Temple. During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was an official winery here, where workers used stream water from the Jinsha Jian to produce wine. 🍶💦 When the summer breeze blew, the intoxicating aroma of wine mingled with the refreshing fragrance of lotus from the nearby ponds, giving rise to its beautiful name.🪷 Many literati visited this spot to drink wine and write poems, leaving behind numerous renowned literary works📝.

The only slight regret is that this was not the most ideal time to see the lotus flowers in full bloom, leaving us something to look forward to. We shall return another day to fully appreciate the willows veiled in mist along the six bridges and the fragrance of lotus stretching for miles. 🍃

短片拍攝於西湖西側，岳王廟前的曲院風荷。南宋時期，此地有一座官家釀酒的作坊，取金沙澗的溪水造麴酒，聞名國內🍶💦。附近的池塘種有菱荷，每當夏日風起，酒香荷香沁人心脾，故得其名🪷。不少文人墨客慕名而來飲酒作詩，流傳下許多佳話📝。

此行略有遺憾之處乃是未到賞荷最佳時節，留下念想。待他日重遊，方不負這六橋煙柳、十里荷香。🍃

As the saying goes, taking a break is essential for a longer journey. Nevertheless, Hong Kongers have been used to working overnight and having irregular diets.🫩📊 A tight schedule has occupied our lives, not to mention vacations. As a result, our team aims to promote the beauty of the Lingyin Temple and the discovery of our spiritual selves along the trip in Hangzhou through the theme of our film, Savoring Life.😮‍💨😎 The story is about Ah Ling, a graduate student who remains busy with work even while travelling. He gradually realizes the meaning of travelling until he visits the Lingyin Temple. ⛰️🧳

休息是為了走更遠的路。然而，香港人習慣工作晝夜顛倒，食無定時。🫩📊 工作已經介入了我們的生活，甚至佔用我們休息的時間。有多少次為了完成上司的要求，不惜放棄旅行，甚至要在旅行中，抽時間工作呢？ 因此，我們籍著本片主題「嘆人生」，在宣傳杭州靈隱寺的同時，亦期望觀眾重新感受沿路風光，享受靈性自我。😮‍💨😎 如同故事中的男主角（阿零），一個在旅行中，仍忙碌於工作的年青人。直至他跟隨旅行團來到靈隱寺、踏進門坎後，才展開與自己心靈的對話，感悟旅行的意義。⛰️🧳

[🌃The Charm of Hefang Street – Student Work from “Exploring Light and Shadow: Journey to Hangzhou Hengdian” Study Trip🎥]

Check out this video created by our student participants and discover the charm of Hefang Street through their lens, a place where history and modernity collide in perfect harmony. ✨

The name "Hefang Street" is derived from "Qinghefang" from the Southern Song Dynasty. There are alleys in the city and lanes within the alleys. This area is also renowned for Hangzhou's "Five Hangs" (cosmetic powder, scissors✂️, fans🪭, to***co, and thread🪡).

Hefang Street under the modern night sky was filled with dazzling handicrafts. As we strolled along, the chirping of birds caught our attention and we spotted a nest of newborn swallows tucked above the signboard of a milk tea shop🐦‍⬛🪺. The shop owner said, “The swallows built their nest here about a month ago. Swallows only choose homes that are prosperous and safe🏡, and many customers have been attracted to our store because of them”.

Hefang Street truly offers new sights every couple of steps, and the closer you look, the more details you can discover👀. To capture this, we adopted a tourist's perspective for our video, using fragmented editing to recreate the street's unique and lively atmosphere.🌸

河坊街的名字來源於南宋時期的清河坊。城中有坊、坊中有巷。杭州「五杭」（杭粉、杭剪✂️、杭扇🪭、杭煙、杭線🪡）亦聞名於此。

現代夜幕下的河坊街滿布工藝品。漫步古街，燕子的叫聲傳來，我們抬頭看到奶茶店招牌上有一窩新生的小燕子🐦‍⬛🪺。店家說：「一個月前燕子過來築巢。燕子不入苦寒門🏡，好多客人都被牠們吸引進店」。

在河坊街，兩三步就是一個風景，只要細細觀賞就可以捕捉到細節👀。所以我們採用了遊客的視角進行拍攝，並希望用碎片的剪輯手法呈現出這樣的氛圍。🌸
