Located in the Gongji Tower and Jiangshen Temple areas of Orange Isle, the park features a Hunan-style fair and a light and shadow theater. The park is named after the Jiangtian Muxue (or Twilight River, Dance of Snowflakes), one of the Eight Views of Xiaoxiang depicted in well-known poems, drawings and paintings from the Song Dynasty. Centering on the Huxiang culture and using digital art as the medium, the park offers some glimpses into several Hunan-related highlights of the Song Dynasty.
