But Wang Chaoge is not content with this, her creativity never stops, in 2019, “Only — Theater Fantasy City” series was launched, which breaks the limitation of theater performances in space, forming a cultural theme park. Wang Zhaogo's artistic practices and concepts have not only enriched the field of culture and art in China, but also spread the unique charm of Chinese culture on a global scale.
