Sprouting Miracle revolves around the theme of "unlocking fairy tales", blending the mystical elements of a dusty music box and a magical key with the troupe's exquisite acrobatic talents. As the "Greater Bay Chicken" brings light and the mechanical melody begins, a colorful, heartwarming adventure unfolds, enchanting both children and the young at heart.

Rooted in rich local culture, the "Greater Bay Chicken" IP has already spread to cities like Hong Kong, Harbin, and Hohhot. It now embarks on a national tour with the troupe, spreading Guangzhou's unique warmth along the way. Additionally, the troupe will perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage of the China Media Group, showcasing Lingnan charm and Guangzhou's acrobatic artistry to a nationwide audience.
