The "Cheshire's Cat Room," the "Queen's Croquet-Ground" and the "Chessboard Theater"...does any of this ring a bell? Here in Beijing, these scenes from the story “Alice in Wonderland” are being brought to life.

The exhibition “Alice into the Rabbit Hole” first kicked off in South Korea by Media N Art. Twenty-three artists came together to depict their own versions of Alice's Wonderland. Using advanced technology and the latest techniques, the exhibition became a sensation after thousands of South Korean visitors shared their pictures online.

It has also become a must-see paradise for girls in Beijing. "We have been here for more than 20 minutes and found it a perfect place to take photos, like Alice's Room, the Blossom, and the room full of mirrors. They are so much fun,” says a female visitor.

Organizers say the visitors are mostly aged between 22 and 35, as well as kids. Different from traditional exhibitions, the immersive experience encourages people to engage in the creations.

"The settings on display are always the same, but they appear differently in different pictures, as each visitor has his or her own perspective and understanding of the wonderland,” says Zhou Qian, organizer of the exhibition. “When they post the photos online, like WeChat or Instagram, they help promote the exhibition."
