The performance of In Here was jointly created by Hengqin and Macao, showcasing the distinctive culture, traditions, and living customs in the two areas while the other performance, Creative City, Charming City, features the distinctive buildings and local delicacies of Macao.

A soft opening of these two works took place in Macao on Dec 9, however the versions staged in Hengqin have been edited with changes in the light show.

Officials from the Cooperation Zone Livelihood Affairs Bureau noted that the light show is expected to give tourists and residents of Hengqin and Macao a closer look at the Guangdong and Macao culture, boost regional economy, and further promote the Hengqin cultural brands.

Of note, a chartered bus running between Hengqin and Macao launched by Hengqin has been in operation since Dec 24, providing free, safe, convenient, and efficient travel service for passengers.

The bus will run on holidays, including Macao public holidays, and during large-scale culture, sports, tourism, and exhibition events in Hengqin.

Around four to eight shifts will be available daily, and adjustments of the bus route and stops will be made every month according to the operation situation.

Passengers who plan to take the bus can receive the latest report of the bus's operation schedule via the app "Hengqin-Macao Livelihood Chartered Bus (琴澳民生专线)" on their smart phones.
