After nearly a month of closure for quality improvement and renovation, the Nanyue Time City 1944 Scenic Area reopened free of charge on July 25. This marks the site's transformation and upgrading from a traditional sightseeing scenic area to an open resort integrating arts, recreation, catering, high-end accommodation, and cultural creation and film industries.

The renovation was advanced around five major sectors—chain brands, intangible cultural heritage and cultural creation, specialty dining, nighttime entertainment, and outdoor recreation. The area has established a new curator-led block, innovatively introducing a creator model and regularly hosting activities such as art performances, intangible cultural heritage experiences, and parent-child interactive opportunities, to create an immersive block featuring "a unique theme in every shop and a fresh experience at every turn." The site has built an all-day consumption environment of "daytime recreation, nighttime carnival." It has brought together local flavors and diverse specialty dining; laid out leisure sports formats including outdoor swimming, indoor play areas, and a riding ranch; and expanded nighttime consumption scenes such as bars, beer gardens, and retro dance halls, offering a rich and varied experience to visitors of all ages.

The accommodation facilities continue to improve. Following the opening of the Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale Legend Nanyue at the resort on July 19, the Howard Johnson Club Hotel officially signed an agreement to establish a presence. A tiered accommodation cluster is taking shape, ranging from high-end resort hotels to youth hostels. Meanwhile, the Time City Short Drama Studio has attracted over 10 film and TV production teams, gradually forming an integrated culture-tourism and film-television model. The area also offers one-stop vintage-style photography services, enriching visitors' holiday experiences.

Themed "Rebuilding the Rhythm of Life in the Mountains," the Hengshan Time Summer Arts Festival was launched simultaneously, with a series of events through August 30.
