From the snow capped mountains fluttering with snowflakes to the romantic and elegant dreamy Ferris wheel, from the mechanical pyramids filled with yellow sand to the shimmering sea wonders, the album works correspond to different situations in the fantasy paradise, revealing the composer's sincere emotions.
| Devote himself to creating the ultimate presentation
The creation and production of the entire album took more than ten months, carefully crafted by Chen Zhiyi in collaboration with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and world-class Chinese musicians. More than 300 people participated in the album's production, with recording tracks covering Shanghai, Tokyo, London, Beijing, and other places. The entire production process was long and fulfilling, and the integration and communication with various artists during the period left many unforgettable memories.

It is worth mentioning that in terms of playing musical instruments, the album specifically uses the accordion as the main instrument throughout, guiding the audience to experience the fantastic stories behind each piece of music as a narrator.
Yu-Peng Chen expressed that at the beginning of the planning, he hoped to use this unique design to allow everyone to experience the unique charm of the accordion on their journey accompanied by it.
Specially invited accordion player Liu Zhao
World renowned accordion player Liu Zhao was invited to perform; The accordion guide used several different types of accordion from different countries throughout the recording of the entire album. The unique timbres presented by each type of accordion can make everyone feel more deeply about the musical language given to each piece, and also add more rhythm and imagination to the works.
The production lineup of the album is equally impressive.
