Magnificence

The vast dramatic landscape of Northern Shaanxi which forms part of the Loess Plateau expresses a nature that is both hauntingly beautiful and formidable. Named after an indigenous plant, Morning Star Lilies Forever composed by Wang Danhong is a contemporary rendition recalling life in the region and the courageous people that brave the hardships there. It conveys an epic experience of the vibes of Magnificence.
