Reviving the Ancient Capital Through Light: FYI Lighting Illuminates Luoyang Ying Tianmen A Dialogue Between History and Modernity
Ying Tianmen, the main imperial gate of Luoyang City during the Sui and Tang dynasties, stands as one of the most grandly structured city gates in ancient Chinese architectural history. It bore witness to the prosperity of the Sui‑Tang golden age, when envoys from across the world came to pay homage. Today, as the centerpiece of Luoyang’s large‑scale heritage conservation initiative, the Ying Tianmen Ruins Museum has become a must‑visit destination for global tourists to explore Sui‑Tang culture.
In 2024, to enhance nighttime visitor experiences and create immersive cultural tourism scenarios, the Ying Tianmen Scenic Area launched a major nighttime light show upgrade. Guangzhou FYI Stage Lighting Equipment Co., Ltd. was selected as the core equipment supplier, thanks to its superior product performance and extensive experience in cultural tourism projects. Using a professional matrix of 37‑zone LED wash lights, beam lights, flood lights, and laser lights, FYI has clothed this thousand‑year‑old gate in a radiant robe of light and shadow, enabling a dialogue between history and modernity while inviting visitors to dream back to the glorious Tang Dynasty under the night sky.
Core Challenges & Solutions
As a national‑level cultural relic protection site, the nighttime lighting upgrade of Ying Tianmen faced multiple strict challenges:
- Lighting design must preserve the historic structure and original appearance; any drilling or mounting required official approval.
- The system must support both daily functional lighting and large‑scale festival light shows.
- As an open‑air attraction, all equipment required high‑level waterproof, dustproof, and weather‑resistant performance.
- Lighting effects must reflect the grandeur of Sui‑Tang culture while integrating modern technological aesthetics.
Our solution centers on the philosophy: Respect History · Empower with Technology.
After extensive on‑site surveys, the FYI team adopted a distributed installation strategy, placing all fixtures in dedicated positions outside protected zones to ensure zero impact on cultural relics.
- 37‑zone wash lights create vast, flowing “starry skies” and “auspicious cloud” particle effects, laying a dreamlike foundation for the gate.
- Beam lights outline the tower’s silhouette with sharp, defined rays, building a dynamic spatial structure.
- Flood lights accurately restore architectural details such as bracket sets and roof ornaments, ensuring reliable functional illumination.
- Laser lights project clean, vivid beams to display patterns and characters including “Divine Capital Luoyang,” serving as the highlight of the show.
Coordinated via an intelligent control system, the four fixture types seamlessly switch between energy‑saving daily mode and spectacular festival mode, delivering highly popular “Ying Tianmen 3D Light Shows” that captivate visitors night after night.

Client Background
The Ying Tianmen Ruins Museum is Luoyang’s flagship showcase of Sui‑Tang culture, hosting more than 3 million visitors annually. Its original nighttime lighting consisted only of basic functional floodlighting, lacking visual appeal and immersion and failing to meet growing night‑tour demands.
The client aimed to develop a permanent, high‑quality nighttime light show that balanced cultural depth and modern technology, making it a new engine for Luoyang’s night economy.
Key requirements included:
- Full approval from cultural relic protection authorities
- Adaptation to northern China’s seasonal temperature variations
- Visual expression of the prosperity of the Sui‑Tang era
- Remote intelligent control and energy‑efficient operation
Cooperation Process
The partnership began with the client’s vision: Using technology to tell China’s story.
The FYI team conducted multiple on‑site surveys in Luoyang and held in‑depth discussions with heritage experts, scenic area operators, and lighting designers. Based on a full understanding of the architectural layout, visitor flow, and cultural narrative, we proposed a four‑layer lighting scheme themed Golden Age of Sui‑Tang · Light of the Divine Capital.
The plan strictly complied with cultural relic protection regulations: all equipment was installed on ground bases or independent poles, imposing no load on the historic tower. We produced a 3D simulation video demonstrating multiple scenes from daily basic lighting to festival performances.
Upon approval, all fixtures were custom‑manufactured to outdoor IP66 waterproof standards and tested for low‑temperature resistance suitable for northern climates. Our senior engineering team supervised on‑site installation and commissioning, trained the client’s operation staff, and handed over multiple pre‑programmed light show sequences.
