With the rapid advancement of information technology, digital technology has become a significant force in driving the transformation and upgrading of the cultural industry as well as the reconstruction of urban spaces. This paper seeks to investigate the impact and mechanisms by which digital technology fosters the synergistic development of cultural tourism, the cultural and creative industries, and urban renewal, with a specific focus on the Jinsha Site Museum in Chengdu, China, as a case study for in-depth analysis. The study reveals several pivotal insights: (1) Digital technology, serving as an external catalyst, has not only accelerated the digital transformation of the cultural tourism and creative sectors but also enhanced the city's cultural soft power and attractiveness through the provision of intelligent and personalized services, thereby promoting the diversification of urban functions and the revitalization of spatial dynamics. (2) The Jinsha Site Museum in Chengdu, China, utilizes digital technology to innovate and augment the display of cultural artifacts, effectively broadening the scope of cultural communication and engagement. (3) The museum's digital transformation has catalyzed commercial development in the surrounding area, expanded cultural tourism routes, and shaped urban cultural brands, positioning it as a model for cultural leadership and industrial progress within the framework of urban renewal.
