It is worth mentioning that Pudefu SAGA City of Light successfully challenged and broke the Guinness World Record with an indoor performance area of ​​12,110.833 square meters, and was certified as the "largest immersive theater in the performance area".
SAGA City of Light has more than 150 resident actors and 50 large-scale movie scenes, involving more than 1,300 types and 26,000 pieces of retro props to create a unique experience for visitors. Facing each door of time and space, everyone needs to make a key decision about their own adventure path and enjoy "a selfless adventure journey". In addition to the large "movie watching on the move" theater, there are also cultural and creative retail, restaurants, cafes and other entertainment and leisure facilities. It is expected that the number of tourists will reach 1.2 million per year in the future.
SAGA City of Light continues the creative gene of Pudefu. On the basis of drawing on its mature immersive performance creation experience and new artistic inspiration, it brings together the top cultural and artistic entrepreneurs in France and China to break boundaries and redefine immersive cultural experience.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. The trial operation of Pudefu SAGA City of Light not only marks the successful establishment of a long-term Sino-French cultural exchange platform, but also a feat that transcends culture and time and space. It is one of the concrete presentations of telling the stories of China and France.

It will give new life to the city's lost historical legends and legendary tales with international performance techniques, present spectacular and exquisite immersive performances with deep emotional connections to the audience, and create products with world-class cultural influence, becoming a benchmark for international cultural IPs to tell Chinese stories well.
