Zhongshan Grand Orient Wax Art Company Ltd. is pushing the boundaries of wax artistry and silicone figure innovation by integrating dynamic animation, storytelling, and hyper-realistic craftsmanship. Through a series of groundbreaking projects, including interactive installations inspired by Journey to the West, a lifelike “digital twin” sculpture of artist Wu Ningya, and an animated animal series, Grand Orient demonstrates how animated silicone figures can transform traditional wax art into immersive sensory experiences.
The company’s approach combines meticulous artistic sculpture with motion technology, sound synchronization, and advanced materials to create figures that not only look realistic but also move and interact with audiences. This fusion of art and technology is opening new possibilities for theme parks, cultural tourism destinations, museums, themed wax museum and experiential entertainment venues.
A “Journey to the West Adventure” at Chaozhou Park: Bringing Classic IP to Life
One of Grand Orient Wax Art’s most iconic and successful installations is the “Journey to the West Adventure” immersive experience at Chaozhou Park in China. Drawing inspiration from one of China’s most beloved literary classics, the project recreates the legendary characters Sun Wukong (the Monkey King),Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing within the iconic setting of Flower and Fruit Mountain.
Grand Orient has faithfully restored popular plots from Journey to the West, meticulously crafting the breathtaking underwater scene: "Taking the Treasure from the Dragon Palace".At first glance, visitors might assume the figures of the Monkey King and the Dragon King are simply static displays. However, the illusion quickly breaks as the characters begin to reenact classic bridge segments from the story—performing lifelike movements such as waving and nodding while delivering original dialogue from the masterpiece. This unexpected surprise transforms what was once a mythological scene into a vivid, tangible, and immersive reality.
By blending storytelling, performance, and sculpture, Grand Orient creates a powerful cross-time dialogue between traditional culture and modern audiences.
The installation also demonstrates the cultural and commercial value of interactive experiences. During the Spring Festival holiday, Chaozhou Park welcomed a total of 401,000 visitors, with an average daily attendance exceeding 52,000 guests. The attraction’s highly shareable moments, such as the animated Monkey King interacting with visitors, quickly became popular on social media platforms, encouraging young audiences to visit and document their experiences.
According to industry observers, this innovative approach has helped transform traditional culture into a dynamic, engaging form that resonates strongly with younger generations.
For theme parks and large cultural tourism destinations, the project illustrates Grand Orient’s ability to provide comprehensive customized solutions, combining art, technology, and storytelling to increase visitor engagement and boost park attendance.
The Artist’s “Digital Twin”: Wu Ningya Art Series
Beyond theme park experiences, Grand Orient is also expanding the artistic boundaries of hyper-realistic sculpture through its Wu Ningya Art Series.
The project centers on creating a dynamic wax “digital twin” of renowned artist Wu Ningya, capturing not only the physical likeness of the artist but also the emotional and intellectual depth that defines his creative presence.
The sculpture features subtle yet powerful movements. The figure’s head twists slightly, and its eyes carry a deep, contemplative gaze, suggesting a moment of reflection or artistic inspiration. The realism is so striking that viewers often feel as if the artist might begin speaking about his creative philosophy at any moment.
The Wu Ningya wax figure debuted during Guangdong Design Week, where it quickly became the focal point of the exhibition. Crowds gathered around the installation, taking photos and observing the subtle movements that brought the sculpture to life.
The response was immediate and enthusiastic. Visitors described the experience as both surprising and thought-provoking, while photographers and media attendees captured countless images of the figure interacting with viewers.

Through projects like this, Grand Orient reinforces its position as a leader in high-end realistic art creation, demonstrating its ability to recreate the complexity of human expression, personality, and artistic spirit.
All Things Have Spirits: The Dynamic Animated Animal Series
Grand Orient is also expanding its creative vision beyond human figures through Grand Orient Wax Art's dynamic animal series, which explores the beauty and realism of wildlife through motion-enabled sculptures.
The series features animals crafted with extraordinary attention to anatomical detail, including muscle structure, fur texture, and natural body movement. The result is a lifelike presence that blurs the line between sculpture and living creature.
One standout piece in the series is a giant orangutan figure capable of blinking, moving its head, and speaking. These synchronized visual and audio effects create a compelling illusion that captivates audiences and sparks curiosity about the natural world.
A preview of the animated animal installation can be seen on Instagram. This innovative combination of realism and motion opens up diverse application possibilities across multiple industries.
For natural history museums and science education centers, the animated animals provide an engaging way to teach visitors about biodiversity and wildlife conservation. The figures can simulate realistic behaviors, making educational storytelling more immersive.
For luxury hotels, themed resorts, and experiential venues, the sculptures create unforgettable atmospheres that blend art, design, and entertainment.
The series demonstrates Grand Orient’s ability to bring natural wonder into man-made environments while maintaining a remarkably high level of realism.
Expanding the Boundaries of Silicone Figures and Wax Art
Through its diverse portfolio of projects, Zhongshan Grand Orient Wax Art Company Ltd. is redefining how wax art and silicone figures can be used in modern entertainment, education, and cultural storytelling.
Traditionally, wax figures have been associated with museum displays; static sculptures designed primarily for visual observation. Grand Orient’s innovations challenge that perception by introducing motion, sound, and interactive elements that transform passive displays into dynamic experiences.
This shift reflects a broader trend in cultural tourism and experiential design, where audiences increasingly seek immersive environments rather than static exhibits.
Grand Orient’s animated silicone figures combine several disciplines:
- Hyper-realistic sculpture
- Mechanical animation and motion technology
- Audio integration
- Cultural storytelling
- Experiential design
Together, these elements create installations that are not only visually impressive but also emotionally engaging.
As theme parks, museums, and entertainment venues continue to explore new ways to attract visitors, Grand Orient’s approach offers a compelling solution: art that moves, reacts, and interacts with audiences.
