preface

Jingyu: "Songcheng has opened in Shanghai. Let's go and play together!"
Me: "Where is it?"
Jingyu: "Expo Park, direct access to Metro Line 13."
Me: "I know this place well!"

Self-serving, I have too much affection for the Shanghai World Expo Park. Eleven years ago, I went to Shanghai for the first time to see the World Expo. The scene of queuing all night at that time is still vivid in my mind. I also took the opportunity to see the colorful world of the metropolis, which buried a seed of love to travel. Unexpectedly, Song City opened here many years later, so I made an appointment with my friends to visit Shanghai.

But when I came to Shanghai during the summer vacation, the hot and humid weather during the day was not "friendly", and the high temperature of 37 ° C was really not suitable for long-term outdoor activities. So after a stroll around the Bund, I first found a good hotel, A.T. HOUSE, put away my luggage and rest. Go to Songcheng, Shanghai at a later time. The reservation online in advance is 399 yuan/person, including a package ticket with the dining show "Passion Samba".

This trip to Shanghai was a light trip with a simple itinerary, but what you saw and heard was still rich and colorful.
I have to say that Shanghai is still the magic city, and it is so much fun.

Shanghai Songcheng

My meal show starts at 17:40, so I and Jing Yu came at 17:00. At this time, the parking lot was already full of cars. It seemed that most of the tourists had arrived earlier than me. The man at the gate was instructing the driver who had just arrived to park in other empty spaces. It turns out that Shanghai Songcheng is different from the ancient love scenic spots in Hangzhou, Lijiang and other places that I have visited before. Shanghai Songcheng is a building with a total of seven floors plus a rooftop. It is a new online celebrity check-in spot in Shanghai.

There are many ticket types in Songcheng, Shanghai, and you can book online in advance. In addition to the signature main show "Shanghai Eternal Love" performance, there is also the parent-child show "Wow! Dinosaur "and the dining show" Enthusiastic Samba ", etc. Starting from about 17:10, I can check in for the 17:40 session of "Passion Samba" I booked. It's always right to go to the queue early, and you can be given priority to a position with a better view.

After entering, there is a main stage in the hall, and then tables are distributed on both sides. Before we even started and there was enough light, let's take two big environments first. This color and atmosphere are really loved...

The big show was staged on time at 17:40, and the dim lights suddenly came on. A long-haired foreign drummer instantly ignited the atmosphere of the audience with fast-paced drums. I didn't even have time to see if he or she was a little brother or a little sister.

It was expected that the opening was high. The entire "Passion Samba" is composed of several small performances and is a visual feast that brings together actors from many countries. During the interval between performances, service staff will serve delicious food and drinks one after another. Seeing that the dining show even saves money for dinner, the ticket price feels very worth it. After all, a Western meal in a Shanghai restaurant is not cheap, and you may have to wait for a waiting table. The set meal includes: whole wheat meal buns, smoked salmon salad, cream mushroom soup, sea and land Shuanghui (with prawns, mussels and beef), as well as a choice of red wine and juice.

The entire performance lasts about an hour. The performance on the stage is very enthusiastic, but the rhythm of eating can still be very relaxed. There are also many forms of performance, each with its own characteristics. In particular, the lighting and clothing are in line with my expectations and aesthetics.

Finally, the appearance of a "Western Beauty" pushed the whole performance to a climax. Her graceful figure was full of skills, and the man next to her never put it down even when she raised her mobile phone (Jing Yu's Heart OS: I'm talking about others, you're the same!). No wonder it is often said on the Internet that our ancestors conquered the Western Regions not because the raisins were delicious. You can understand it!

As a restaurant, it has an excellent atmosphere and delicious dishes; as a performance, it is passionate and delicious. It is suitable for almost all people to watch, and the recommendation index must have five stars!

After "Passion Samba" ended, I and Jing Yu started to play other places in the building. At this time, night was slowly falling, and various water parties and small performances followed. The performance is still very intensive, and you can check in one in turn. You can also only choose what you like, Buddhist play. As resourceful as I am, I took a picture of the day's performance schedule at the ticket office before entering the park and saved it, so that I wouldn't be blinded by the time and where there was a show.

I found that even every small performance would gather a lot of tourists and the atmosphere was very high. I really have to squeeze in as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to take a photo of everyone's back like this. Of course, viewing the outdoor performances on the first floor on the second floor is also a great perspective. If you want a good viewing space, you may wish to look for more on site.

If you want to attend a party playing in the water, you can prepare an extra set of clothes to change. There are lockers and dressing rooms in the scenic area. It was because I didn't bring clothes that I and Jing Yu couldn't "participate in the war". Seeing the big guys having a good time, you will have experience next time.

We walked around layer by layer. There are many small highlights here. On the first floor, there are childhood memories of the post-80s generation. On the sixth floor, Tianjie Night Market has colorful art for sale. Whether you buy it or not is not important. The key is that the photos are all super beautiful.

Be sure to come to the rooftop on the 7th floor at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. At this time, the night view of the Huangpu River has reached the best time to watch, especially the bridge on the upper left looks very imposing. I didn't bring a tripod, but placing the camera on the guardrail and finding a good angle can also stabilize it and take long-exposure night photos.

The river breeze blowing against the Huangpu River at night is particularly cool, sweeping away the oppressive feeling of humidity and heat during the day. The scenic area was open until 22 o'clock that day. Accompanied by the beautiful night of the Huangpu River, I listened to the last relaxing cliff concert with Jing Yu. The most suitable thing at this time is to empty yourself and feel the summer night. I never imagined that Magic City, which is usually full of wine and bustle, would also have its warm side.

The pictures below with no one in the two corridors were taken when the park was closing at around 21 o'clock. There were too many people during regular times, which can be regarded as a last benefit!

During this trip to Shanghai, I stayed at the high-end hotel A.T. House in Xujiahui. Take Line 13 from Songcheng, Shanghai, and then transfer to Metro Line 1 to Xujiahui Subway Station. Walk 50 meters from Exit 1. A.T. HOUSE is a newly opened luxury trendy hotel and a diverse lifestyle complex. Entering the door made me feel like I was in an art exhibition hall. After asking, I realized that it was really an art exhibition jointly with One-Direction Space.

A special cold drink at the front desk pulled me back to the hotel level. After quick check-in, the elevator swiped my card and entered, and takeout could be delivered to the room by a robot. During special periods, contact is reduced and privacy is also strong. Why is a hotel a complex? It is crowded with yoga, capsule cafes, swimming academies, basketball courts and other places; the coolest thing is to escape from the secret room! Unfortunately, I didn't come with many friends this time, otherwise it would be great to play here.

The room also understands the hearts of young people more. Not only is the decoration style full of fashion, but you can see charging sockets everywhere, JBL's Bluetooth stereo, Dyson hair dryer, and a big bag of snacks are also affectionately delivered!

The next day's breakfast was a one-seat meal and a semi-buffet meal, which also left a deep impression on me. You can order Shanghai local special packages, Western packages and hotel special packages. I properly had a local Shanghai and had a full breakfast, and I ended this light trip to Shanghai.
