Leyard and its subsidiary Shuhu Graphics provide over 2,000 square meters of visual effect display products, stage visual creation and service guarantee for the Beijing main stage venue and Yiwu branch venue.

At the main venue in Beijing, Leyard combined mechanical lifting screens, virtual reality technology and ultra-high-definition projection. Relying on the dynamic changes of the mechanical structure of the stage, it realized the interaction between the vertical curtain and the projection of reality and reality, shaping the entire stage into a slowly unfolding Chinese painting scroll landscape. This design has been used in programs such as "The God of Flowers" and "The Ancient Rhythm of the Silk Road" to present an immersive effect of "people are in the scenery and the scenery moves with the people".

At the Yiwu branch venue, the Shuhu image centered on the scene characteristics of Yiwu's global digital trade center, combined with local geographical and commercial elements such as the intersection of the two rivers and the China-Europe freight trains.
