The Yangtze River, as one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization, has nurtured a splendid civilization in its basin for thousands of years. Yichang, a city nestled beside the Yangtze River, has long witnessed the prosperity and vicissitudes of the Yangtze River shipping. In 1876, with the signing of the Treaty of Yantai, Yichang was opened as a commercial port. The impact of Western capitalism brought about profound changes in Yichang's urban pattern. New industries emerged like mushrooms after rain, and diverse cultures collided and blended with each other. This exhibition takes the humanistic stories of Yichang as the core of its narrative, vividly presenting the historical chapters written by people from all walks of life in the tide of the times. Combining immersive digital experiences, it retraces history to explore the development trajectory of Yichang, using the past as a mirror to draw wisdom from history and look to the future.
