Visitors to Changbai Mountain Legend International Resort can now experience a more vivid and immersive aerial adventure following a major projection upgrade at the attraction’s “Flying By Changbai Mountain” dome theatre.
Located at the foot of Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province, the attraction blends large scale projection, synchronized motion seating and environmental effects to simulate flight across one of China’s most iconic landscapes. The upgraded system now runs on a single Christie Griffyn 4K50 RGB pure laser projector, replacing the need for multiple projection units while delivering brighter visuals, improved color reproduction and smoother motion performance.
The attraction features a 20 metre dome screen and a suspended motion platform that seats up to 70 guests per session. Moving through six degrees of freedom alongside wind and mist effects, the experience takes visitors soaring above Changbai Mountain’s forests, snow covered peaks and Tianchi Lake from the perspective of a mythical Manchu sea eagle.
According to Wincomn Technology, who upgraded the projection system, the challenge was achieving the brightness and visual consistency required for a large scale flying theatre while simplifying the overall system architecture.
“For a flying dome theatre, achieving the right balance of brightness, color fidelity and visual impact is critical,” said Tony Chen, General Manager, Wincomn Technology. “With the Griffyn 4K50‑RGB, we succeeded in meeting these requirements using a single projector—a remarkable achievement considering that multiple units were previously necessary. This simplified system design and installation reduced overall costs for the client, and delivered the immersive visual performance the experience demands.”
Chen added that the Griffyn 4K50‑RGB’s high brightness of 50,000 lumens, native 4K resolution, picture-perfect color alignment capabilities, and omnidirectional operation were key factors in its selection. “The projector produces bright, detailed images across the curved dome surface, while support for high frame rates—up to 120Hz at 4K in 3D environments—ensures smooth motion and visual continuity throughout the flying sequences.”
For the resort, the upgrade is not just about sharper visuals. It also strengthens the storytelling element of the attraction, allowing guests to experience Changbai Mountain’s changing seasons and cultural legends in a more cinematic and emotionally engaging way.
“This project highlights the value of close collaboration between system integrators and technology partners,” said Gene Wang, senior director of ProAV Sales for China at Christie. “We are pleased to work with Wincomn Technology on this immersive attraction, combining their expertise in dome-based experiences with Christie’s projection solutions. Together, we helped the resort realize its creative vision while simplifying the overall system and delivering a compelling experience for visitors.”
With built in warping and blending capabilities, flexible installation options and quiet operation, the upgraded system is designed to support reliable long term performance while enhancing the attraction’s visual impact for visitors.
