The stage show “Moon over Helan Mountain” attracts audiences for its excellent dance performances, unique style and mysterious music. In recent years, it has won a lot of honors, both at home and abroad, and did relatively well at the box office.

Nevertheless, when the production was in its earliest stages, a severe lack of talent could be felt throughout the process. Organizers then decided to introduce talent. Creative staff was hired from Beijing and the lead actresses came in from neighboring provinces. This creativity of high quality made it possible to create a so-called Culture Boutique, contributing significantly to the final success of this dance drama. After many hours of discussion and rehearsal, “Moon over Helan Mountain” was finally ready to make its debut.

The show has become a cultural symbol of Ningxia Province. Its huge success can be seen as an example to follow for those economically backward regions who want to develop their cultural industry.
