China World Trade Center is launching a new campaign for the 2017-2018 festive season centered around storytelling and fairy tales to celebrate the new year and build community. The "Tales of Wonder" concept will include immersive installations telling stories through kinetic design, video mapping, and interactive experiences to transport visitors to a magical world. A multidisciplinary team of designers, artists, and filmmakers will bring the concept to life through visuals, installations, and a short animated film.
3. China World Trade Center turns a new page as 2017 comes to an end and welcomes a
new year - marking a new phase in their development and expansion.
With our concept, we celebrate and conceive this brand new chapter.
We aim to build a solid concept from looking into the storylines of fairytales that highlights the
festive season, family values, national heritage and togetherness.
Let us transport your customers to
