Heritage Illumination: Lighting Up New Cultural Tourism Landmarks at Night

09/03/2026
Under the backdrop of integrated cultural and tourism development, professional lighting for heritage and traditional-style architecture precisely outlines both their form and spirit while respecting their original character. It breathes sustainable vitality into historical structures at night, helping cultural tourism projects enhance their overall value and visitor experience. Below are some of Shone's practices in heritage and cultural tourism lighting.
1. Dongxiang Great Health Industry Demonstration Zone, Guizhou
·  Project Overview:  Located in Congjiang County, Guizhou, the core area is positioned as 'Great Health + Ethnic Cultural Tourism." The architecture features traditional ethnic and regional styles of Southeast Guizhou.  
·  Lighting Effect:  Corrugated panel lights provide flood lighting that clearly outlines the building contours and structural details. Through a DMX512 intelligent control system, rich lighting variations can be achieved, allowing the ethnic-style architectural complex to display unique charm at night and strengthening the site's after-dark appeal.

2. Putuoshan Guanyin Cultural Park (Guanyin Dharma Realm), Zhejiang 
·  Project Overview:  Located in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, the park is a theme exhibition complex centered on Guanyin (Avalokitesvara) culture, integrating cultural experience and art display. Its centerpiece, the Guanyin Holy Hall, stands 91.9 meters tall and serves as both an architectural and cultural landmark.  
·  Lighting Effect:  Custom in-ground wall washer lights with stone-pattern finishes are used on the exterior of the Holy Hall and the flanking Shancai and Longnu Pavilions. The fixtures blend seamlessly with the stone texture, preserving daytime aesthetics. At night, precise 3000K and 4000K lighting creates a pure, solemn, and sacred atmosphere befitting a Buddhist site. Shone's LED linear lights along the central axis bridge are DMX512-controlled, casting a tranquil glow through the bridge openings and forming a meditative pathway that guides visitors "from the mundane world into a sacred space."
3. Yulin Yuxi River Riverside Park, Shaanxi 
·  Project Overview:  Situated in downtown Yulin, this open riverside space combines urban leisure, cultural display, and ecological cultivation, featuring multiple traditional-style pavilions and structures.  
·  Lighting Effect:  In the park's traditional-style architecture plaza, various specifications of Shone LED paver lights were installed. Arranged in different shaped and textured arrays, they highlight the main buildings. A specially designed heart-shaped interactive induction LED floor tiles array changes light with footsteps, adding fun and engagement to the visit. All tiles are installed flush with the ground, with an IP67 rating ensuring durability, together creating a relaxed, interactive, and comfortable night-time leisure lighting environment for the public.
