In Chongqing, he brings Shine's Creed's signature light performances into the city's distinctive urban landscape, creating a unique encounter between art and the city.

In this episode, Lari takes his performance to the top of Chongqing’s tallest skyscraper for a unique dance challenge. High above the city, the entire skyline becomes his stage. Wearing his signature LED costume, he dances against the backdrop of Chongqing’s spectacular cityscape, with a drone capturing the striking interplay of light, movement, and the urban skyline. With the rivers, mountains, and layers of buildings stretching out below, what does it feel like to dance atop a skyscraper? Lari says this is a moment he has long looked forward to, and standing high above Chongqing is an experience he will never forget.

In an interview with iChongqing, Lari shares what made his experience in Chongqing so special. Having traveled to many countries and cities and taken part in numerous demanding creative projects, he says his time in Chongqing was unlike any other. During the shoot, the team worked nine hours or even longer each day. Despite the demanding schedule, they were so immersed in the creative process that they barely felt tired. For Lari, his signature LED costume has long been more than just a stage prop. It has become an inseparable part of his life. Speaking about Chongqing, he says the city not only gives him a sense of belonging, but also feels like a spiritual home for the artistic character he has created. He hopes his videos can inspire others, giving them the confidence to follow their hearts and pursue what they truly love.

During his time in Chongqing, Lari filmed and shared a series of short videos, bringing his dance performances to the city's streets and landmarks.
