"Zibo Barbecue," "Village Premier League," "Erbin Phenomenon," "Tianshui Spicy Hot Pot," "Wang Po Matchmaking," "Chengdu Disney," "London's Canary Wharf," and other phenomenal events at home and abroad have become popular on the Internet, shaping a new landscape of online and offline network technology and a new form of social space. The new comprehensive spatial effects of network technology and traffic orientation have led to clear changes in daily life, spatiotemporal structure, social organizational forms, relationships, placeness, and identity. However, academic research on this phenomenon has been insufficient. Against the backdrop of new media technology that promotes social change and frequently affects people's daily lives, further discussion is necessary. This study organized well-known experts and young scholars to conduct academic analysis of the digital practice of Internet-famous sites and the production of new spatial forms. Presenting scholars' understanding of and reflections on the phenomenal events of Internet-famous sites from different perspectives is conducive to enhancing deep understanding of new phenomena in academia. In practice, the presentation of this research can both be a reference and provide inspiration for network technology, spatial-order guidance, local construction, and socioeconomic development.
