Yes, we are still in Shanghai...

For a whole year, we have never left Shanghai. During the epidemic, we were troubled too much, but we still stayed here honestly.

The bored old mother continued to search the corners of the city and found that I was not the only one who was bored. The entire Internet was flooded with the "Pretend to Be..." series. Sure enough, after looking at my "cheating" afterwards, it was difficult to distinguish where I was for a while.

Whether it is to entertain yourself or deceive yourself, this autumn and winter is a journey through travel, which also gives rise to some fun.

The fully transparent glass forest cafe is located in the Hongqiao Villa Area. Against the backdrop of white walls and green plants, it is very Korean.

It is said to be the largest shopping mall in Shanghai at present, but there is a secret garden hidden at the entrance, which is quite similar to Gardens by the Bay.

This small white pavilion calls itself "Fontainebleau". No matter what, we are happy to sit along the river and soak in the sunshine in a romantic country.

The memories of our most recent trip stayed in Japan a year ago. So I saw the Japanese courtyard and couldn't help but be cordial.

The multiple herringbone wooden sloping roofs, raised louvered corner towers, deep entrances and wide porches are beyond doubt in Britain.

For Americans, cabins are not only buildings, but also a way for them to remember and inherit history.

The white Corinthian columns support the long-span dome, reminiscent of the Pantheon seen in Rome.

When I see the castle, I first think of Germany. As everyone knows, a country that has always been rigorous and serious also has its emotional side.

In addition to traveling through space, we have also traveled through time. We have also seen a glimpse of the history of a great country for five thousand years intermittently.

The aesthetics of Han style is reflected in the beautiful characters, or the hollow light and shadow, the complement of words and totems, and time is going backwards.

The pavilions with small bridges and flowing water, the carvings of wooden grid doors and windows, and the floors paved with blue bricks all reveal the charm of traditional architecture.

Exquisite layout, elegant environment, and small and exquisite are the outstanding characteristics of Ming Dynasty gardens. A faint layer of autumn makes people think endlessly.

The green leather tram is a unique symbol of this era. The illusion is that night is falling, and the lights of Shiliyangchang are about to be full of wine.

Shanghai alleys are my childhood memories. I never imagined that at the Japanese Comic-Con, my thoughts would be pulled back and forth.

Dialogue with the master architect from afar, and make a wish again, the next journey will be in the true sense of the distance...

Baolong Art Museum| Ode to the beauty, the beauty of the Han Dynasty

Coordinates: No. 3055 Caobao Road, Minhang District, Shanghai City.

This was rated as "Top Ten Outstanding Art Museum in Asia" and its founding purpose is to "promote the essence of traditional culture and promote the development of contemporary art." It focuses on displaying modern and contemporary art works here and builds a new collection system of "confluence of rivers and rivers".

The interior space of the art museum is like a Chinese version of the "Guggenheim Museum in New York". The Guggenheim Museum in New York is one of the classic masterpieces designed by architect Wright in 1947. Its spiraling white flowing space is concise and powerful. It has always been regarded as a masterpiece of modern art architecture.

The circular exhibition hall spirals upwards, which is not only the starting point of this Shuzang Building exhibition, but also the prelude to this artistic feast. The round exhibition hall specially uses small and exquisite works as the main body of display, intended to see the big from the small, guide the audience to wander around and enjoy the beauty brought by these works up close.

Entering the Shuzang Building, you will see the most representative work,"Pine" by Shi Jinsong. This is where he uses the famous Huangshan Welcome Pine as a template and uses his wisdom and craftsmanship to make various waste wood and tree segments into natural and unique works of art.

Another major feature is the seven works of Yayoi Kusama. These works are often condensed by artists with extremely relaxed brushstrokes and moments of enlightenment, and are a direct expression of the artists 'true emotions.

Although the works displayed in this art corridor are different in creative techniques and a hundred schools of artistic concepts contend, there are amazing similarities between the works, that is, the artists 'ultimate pursuit of "beauty" and the artists' and the audience. The place where resonance is formed.

It is also a pity that the spiral corridor has excellent ornamental properties. In fact, this exhibition hall is not easy to produce, and it has high requirements for natural light. We arrived on a rainy day, and the shooting conditions can be imagined. It all relied on late color matching, but noise still inevitably appeared. On the contrary, there is a unique place after going upstairs. Almost no one cares about these two exhibition halls, but they are deeply in my heart.

It still retains the white simple style of the entire exhibition hall, but it is also unique and designed a round arch, which has the artistic conception of a Soviet-style garden.

Here, you can see more than 100 classic masterpieces by many Chinese masters. Through these paintings and paintings, I sincerely sigh at the profound cultural heritage of the Chinese nation and the national emotions and spirit it contains. Young children are ignorant, but they can also feel the beauty of Chinese calligraphy and painting and draw nourishment from it. Only in this way can we pass on the essence of Chinese culture and benefit future generations.

At present, Yungang Grottoes must be on the list that is worth visiting in the museum. The exhibition time is from 2020-12-26 to 2021-03-28.

The fifth century AD was the Dingding period when Western Buddhism spread in China. First, Kumarahs retranslated Buddhist scriptures in Chang 'an, Yao Qin Dynasty, and Mahayana Buddhism flourished all over the world; later, through the promotion of the two major Buddhist centers of Jiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province) and Guzang in the Northern Liang Dynasty (now Wuwei, Gansu Province), the Buddhist system in China has been developed and the atmosphere of Buddhist affairs has increased. In 439, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty pacified Liangzhou, ending the division of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms in Northern China.

Subsequently, sending troops to the Western Regions directly led to a new upsurge in cultural exchanges between China and the West. The capital Pingcheng (now Datong, Shanxi) has become the eastern center of world Buddhism, and the Yungang Grottoes have become the first holy place that amazes all directions.

As the earliest large-scale grotto group to appear in the east of Xinjiang, the grandeur and glory of the Yungang Grottoes embodies the wisdom of Eastern and Western humans, embodies the practical experience and artistic height of the millennium development of Buddhism, and has become a model for leading the construction of grotto temples in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and even the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It has also become an unprecedented masterpiece of the exchange and integration of Chinese and Western cultures and art.

As the only all-royal project in Chinese Buddhist grotto temples, Yungang Grottoes leave us with extensive and rich cultural and spiritual connotations. It is undoubtedly of great practical significance to let Yungang Art go out of the mountain temple, to the whole country, and to the world, and to demonstrate the Chinese nation's openness, inclusiveness and first-class spirit of courage and creativity.

According to the currently known literature and records, the development of the Yungang Grottoes statue model is divided into three significant periods. The first phase is represented by the statues of the five caves of Tanyao during the period of Emperor Wancheng, which are "carved and decorated with extraordinary beauty and crown them in the world". It presents an exotic style with hundreds of flowers blooming and colorful flowers. It is a masterpiece of the eastward spread of statue art in the Western Regions.

The second phase was the heyday of Yungang. The large cave statues were created for Emperor Xianwen, Empress Dowager Feng, and Emperor Xiaowen. The shapes were varied, the styles were complex, and the carvings were rich.

In the third period, after the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, the royal project in Yungang basically ended, and the folk trend of opening grot-opening statues was still prevalent. With the awakening of the Han national consciousness, the formation of "Xiugu Qingxiang"-style statues concentrated on demonstrating the Western image method. The gradual evolution process of sinicization and secularization. The Yungang Grottoes carve the endless thoughts, endless languages and the eternal soul of a nation into a wall of rock, carving a rich and vivid world corresponding to the world.

Since the 20th century, Yungang research has been continuously advanced, and thanks to five large-scale archaeological excavations, more than 100 pieces of cultural relics have been unearthed, divided into five categories: stone sculptures, pottery sculptures, stele carvings, building components, and utensils, constituting a relatively comprehensive and systematic picture of the politics, culture, and life of the Northern Wei and Liao Jin Dynasties.

The next exhibition is Han Style Aesthetics, an exhibition that will definitely be released. The exhibition time is from 2020-12-19 to 2021-03-11.

The exhibition traces back to 202 BC. The atmosphere created by draperies and light boxes makes a breakthrough in creating an immersive cultural experience with Han culture.

The exhibition includes seven exhibition areas and eight scenes, including "No Questions on the West and East","Wonderful Han Painting","Thousands of Literary Flowers","Incentimes Infinite", and "Between the Lines", creating an immersive experience that moves in different scenery and steps forward layer by layer. The aesthetic exhibition, in which you can have a seamless dialogue with the culture of two thousand years ago, feeling, gazing, and exploring the resonance rooted in the heart. This is the strong spark between history and culture and contemporary art.

Chinese characters have been passed down and evolved for thousands of years, and each character carries the ideology and thoughts of different eras and nations. Chinese characters can not only convey feelings and meanings, but also can be pictographically, understood, and shaped. They can follow ancient times, be created, and be transformed.

This exhibition will show the sense of the times and pulse of the Han Li and Han bamboo slips typefaces in heavy black gauze screens. It will showcase their unique writing pleasure and art and design. It will be interpreted into fascinating stories, giving Chinese characters new meanings and associations in contemporary time and space, allowing viewers to deeply appreciate the charm of Chinese characters from multiple angles and be inspired by the written landscape.

To achieve the ultimate effect of light and shadow, we must count on this three-dimensional bell pillar. Unprecedented integration of Han style aesthetics, the beautiful characters of the Han Dynasty bring multi-dimensional sensory enjoyment through hollow out light, shadow and sound effects devices.

Color impact is another highlight of it. In addition to black, there are also bright red scenes. The black and red of the Han Dynasty are stunning and cool! It seems to indicate that the heroes and beauties of this era have distinctive personalities and vivid. The overall grandeur, wide opening and closing, neat and symmetrical classical unique beauty is vividly interpreted.

After visiting the exhibition, take a nap on the macaron-like cushion. There is also a cafe on the first floor where you can make a pot of scented tea and spend your afternoon tea leisurely. Contact with art is not only about walking into the exhibition hall of the art museum and appreciating the works attentively, but also feeling the subtle influence and nourishment of the soul brought by art. Sitting in the museum and tasting delicious food is also a way to get close to art and enjoy the satisfaction of your soul and taste buds.

Shanghai Film and Television Park| Fireworks in the market, ten miles of foreign market

Coordinates: No. 366 Yingjia Road, Chedun Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai City.

This place was once one of the top ten film and television bases in China. It has the local customs of old Shanghai and the secrets behind the scenes of making movies. In my childhood memory, most of the domestic movies and television dramas telling the story of Shanghai were filmed here. Among them, the most famous ones are "Deep Love in the Rain","Lust, Caution","New Shanghai Beach","Love in the Allure", etc.

As soon as you enter the park, you will see Nanjing Road in the 1930s. Although you have never been there, you can still vaguely identify some landmarks. The green-skinned tram is undoubtedly a symbol of this era. It immediately reminds me of the scenes where the heroes and heroines first met, Gu Manzhen and Shen Shijun, Lu Ruping and He Shuhuan... It seems that meeting each other on the green-skinned tram is not a good sign!

Suddenly, my thoughts flew too far, so I quickly pulled it back. When I saw the straight man and the child each, I didn't know where to start. I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Alas, I just sighed that I was poisoned quite a bit in the past.

Because it has a high degree of restoration of the whole picture of old Shanghai, it provides an ideal shooting scene for film and television creation, and can also re-see the colorful style of old Shanghai. These diverse scenery truly and artistically present Shanghai's historical features and cultural landscape. They are also galleries that understand and familiarize themselves with Shanghai's development and evolution.

Turn around the old Shanghai street adjacent to Nanjing Road, and then stop in front of a Shikumen. Shanghai alleys are the most profound childhood memory of our generation. This is undoubtedly the most pyrotechnic corner, with the red-hot coal stove, the sudden long-distance phone call, the lounge chairs lined up while enjoying the shade... there are also playmates who can be called at any time, and even the sour plum soup made by the grandma next door., all appear in front of your eyes frame by frame.

After walking through Nanjing Road and Old Lane in the 1930s, I have tasted the humanistic feelings of old Shanghai, and I can go and meet the other side of it. There are Catholic churches, medieval wineries and European buildings in the styles of Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Norway and other countries. It should be the best choice for renting photos!

The architectural style of old Shanghai is imprinted with a profound historical mark, and Chinese and Western cultures coexist, but it is not inconsistent with it. Therefore, the lively color and fragrance of old Shanghai was defined as a style, Shanghai style culture. At that time, China and the West lived together, and the cultures of various countries and places were blended and gathered in Shanghai, forming a graceful artistic conception that was not lacking in the East, but also drew on the simple lifestyle of the West.

Over the years, nostalgic style has prevailed. When I came back here, I saw classic and retro pictures, and I couldn't help but feel a little moved. The romantic and charming lifestyle that Shanghainese yearn for, without losing the refreshing sense of simplicity, now seems to have never been outdated, and it has a more fashionable feeling that has become more and more intense after time.

In this film and television park, the must-check "Waibaidu Bridge" is the bridge where Yi Ping went to "find thorns" and jumped off in "Deep Love in the Rain". Even the straight man next to me who never watches Qiongyao dramas has heard of this when I talk about it.

Over the years, the limelight has changed, and almost everyone has criticized the wrong views of Grandma Qiongyao's story. Once when watching a variety show, Zhao Wei said, why has He Shuhuan become a scum now? Haha, it made me laugh.

Qiong Yao, for a girl born in the 1980s like me, she has feelings. When I was a child, I watched videos with adults; when I was young, I watched Taiwanese operas with great interest; and I even peeped out the "Qiongyao Book" that my mother had placed at the bottom of the box.

Facts have proved that Aunt Qiongyao did not lead us children astray. Looking back at these stories now is a bit exaggerated, but what I recall is more the throbbing and emotion of the young years. Perhaps romance novels were the inspiration for my writing; it was also because I liked those titles that I memorized Li Qingzhao's words.

As we get older, there are more nostalgic emotions, and the scope of tolerance and forgiveness also widens. It is not anyone's fault, it is the change of times, the transfer of culture, the independence of ideas... We have all grown up!

Walking into the train station, the rails and platforms will always be representatives of the retro art and literature. Everything we welcome here is farewell and reunion. We also say goodbye here ~

Ticket information: College students: 50 yuan; middle school students: 30 yuan; adults: 80 yuan.

Opening hours: 8:30-16:30.

Hanxiang Water Expo Park| Jiangnan water town, old-style gardens

Coordinates: No. 3805, Jiangchuan Road, Minhang District, Shanghai City.

This is a water ecological garden built by 3000 villagers in Pengdu Village, Maqiao Town, Minhang District to protect the safety of Shanghai's drinking water intakes. It is not only an ancient bridge museum, but also a protected area for ancient trees. It is also a rare classical garden in Shanghai that gathers water, bridges, pavilions, terraces, trees, flowers, grass and wood.

Hanxiang Water Expo Park consists of an ancient ecological park, an ancient cultural park and an agricultural sightseeing park. This time we mainly visited the ancient ecological park, which is mainly composed of rivers, ancient towers, ancient trees, landscape stones, and antique buildings. It is simple, natural and wild. There are more than 800 ancient trees in the park that have been built for more than half a year. There are more than 25 ancient bridges that have been relocated.

Nearly 50 ancient bridges or antique bridges are either gathered or lurking in every corner of each park in the park. The five-hole Hanxiang Bridge, the single-hole Xiangjing Bridge, the three-hole Xingshi Bridge, and the cross-beam flat bridge, curved bridge, covered bridge. Each bridge has a history. The pavilions between the small bridges and flowing water all appear as turning black tiles. The vermilion carved wooden lattice doors and windows and the green brick floor demonstrate the brilliance of traditional architecture everywhere.

The water in the entire ancient ecological park is connected to the ancient bridge, the ancient bridge is connected to the pavilions, the pavilions are interdependent with ancient trees, and the ancient trees are accompanied by flowers and plants, creating a simple, harmonious and wild garden scenery. Unfortunately, when we arrived, there were few tourists and staff in the park. Most of the houses had their doors closed. If we could sit by the window in the teahouse by the lake, taste a pot of fragrant tea, and enjoy the autumn colors of the lake, what a pleasure and enjoyment!

There are naturally benefits when no one cares, and the portrait pattern will be much larger. The houses here give people a weather-beaten sense of history. After the baptism of time, the settled texture is even more simple. While walking in the courtyard, each grass and tree also added a lot of vitality.

Ancient trees can be seen everywhere, some towering in the sky, some aging, or some withered branches and hair, each leading the way and complementing each other, forming a vigorous, deep, vibrant and poetic ancient ecological picture.

The garden buildings set off against the ancient trees demonstrate the depth of history and the wisdom of our ancestors. Only by remembering our ancestors can we warn future generations and allow excellent traditional culture to continue and carry forward.

Ticket information: Adult ticket: 30 yuan. Parking fee: 10 yuan.

Deqiu Wenchuang Park| European castle, beautiful literature and art

Coordinates: No. 788 Shenfu Road, Minhang District, Shanghai City.

Deqiu Culture Creative Park Located in Xinzhuang Industrial Park, many buildings in the park were renovated from old factories. What is more distinctive is that the European retro castles, towers and gardens are filled with some althels, making the scenery more classic and elegant, and beautiful. It is a relatively small photo spot at present. Before it's in flames, friends who like to take photos should go quickly ~

Coming in winter, coupled with the gloomy atmosphere of the castle, it feels even more bleak. The huge and thick wall, but the embedded doors and windows are exquisite and smooth, combining hardness and softness, reducing the feeling of heaviness. People can't help but daydream, its internal space atmosphere is dark? Or mystery.

The castle is located on the lake. The solid beauty of the Middle Ages is surprisingly harmonious with the surrounding scenery. The withered vegetation on all sides echoes it, another scenery with time intertwined, silent and peaceful.

Vintage scenery can be seen everywhere; or ducks stopping with children to look into the distance and playing in the water; or drinking a cup of fragrant coffee, it is the most pleasant afternoon.

There are many specialty shops operating here. The more popular one is a cafe called 1833 Mantuo Garden. When I was tired of shopping, I decided to sit there for a while and spend the early hours.

The decoration in the store really complements the external environment here, and the tableware is also elegant and exquisite. However, the meal is average and does not satisfy my picky taste buds for desserts. However, the environment has a full score, but after 2 p.m., the voices are getting louder and louder, and it is not suitable for sitting still and enjoying comfort.

Car Expo Park| Traveling through various countries, with different customs

Coordinates: No. 7575 Boyuan Road, Jiading District, Shanghai City.

Shanghai Automobile Expo Park is built around the Shanghai Automobile Museum and is located on the south side of the core trade area of Shanghai International Automobile City. This is a comprehensive park with the themes of car entertainment, car exhibitions, and car culture, with a total construction area of 768,000 square meters. It's a very recommended niche treasure park. You can stroll around for an afternoon and experience the customs of different countries. Doesn't it sound great?

The park takes the developed areas of the automobile industry as the theme. The park is divided into "China Park","American Park","British Park","Japan Park", and "European Park". Five major parks have been built with local characteristics. buildings.

Although each area is just a small house, which is not enough to replenish those who cannot travel far, at least it appeases some of the commotion. This place is called "Fontainebleau", and she and her husband once laughed. It's a bold sign!

Thinking of the Paris I went to in 2012, I put on my backpack and entered the subway during the morning rush hour, where I was squeezed by a group of white and black people. When we left the station, we were stopped by a black security guard and asked us to pay attention to our safety. My husband signaled to him that there were two padlocks on his backpack. He praised him repeatedly... Can France still play like this now?

The Japan Garden is built within the traditional landscape pattern of "South Lake and North Mountain", forming a spatial environment where "mountains form lakes and create momentum, and water flows through mountains to create life." It was very quiet here. Before leaving, I even met an artist who came here to play violin.

Every corner here has mountains, water systems, islands, wetlands, green spaces, and watersides to form the diverse structural skeleton of the park, fully expressing nature, shaping nature, restoring nature, and re-establishing land, mountains, lake slopes, and animals. A harmonious and unified relationship between them.

We have touched Japan three times, and we are thinking that most of the first time we leave the country after the epidemic will be Japan. The beauty of Japan does not lie in the city. No matter where you go, you can enjoy considerate service and high-quality environment. Why not go to the countryside? There, we can feel comfort and peace more fully. For example, our most recent trip was in Aomori a year ago, and we still have memories of it today.

I didn't see any signs. I asked my husband, how do you determine this is the British Garden? He said, based on the "fork" on this house. Because British villas emphasize the decorative nature of porches, this Georgian style has been popular in British colonial countries for a century. It was derived from the Italian Renaissance style after it was introduced into Britain and adheres to the classical principles of symmetry and harmony.

Walking around the house, it seems that this style has been implemented very thoroughly. The classical porch, symmetrical doors and windows, wooden frame structure, and carved decoration are all perfect and exquisite. At this time, the sun is pouring down, and the light and shadow printed on the wall also makes the mood brighten up appropriately.

The American Garden is a cabin that complements each other. The children immediately thought of Harry Potter, feeling that it was a small house that had been enchanted. The wooden house itself is a fairytale existence. It has a rough appearance but is visually cute.

The cabin always gives people a lot of reverie, and also contains a mellow cultural atmosphere, simple and elegant. When the turbid air is oppressed and unable to breathe, the wooden cabin in the forest is a spiritual sustenance away from the noise of the world and surrounded by mountains and rivers. We can see the annual rings of years from the wooden piles in the corner, and we can also smell the fragrance of nature from the cracked bark.

The Italian Garden is the popularity of this park. The white Roman columns and domes remind people of the Pantheon-the structure is strong, upright, and the proportion is coordinated. This is a miracle in the history of architecture, showing the architects of ancient Rome. The profound architectural knowledge and profound calculation methods.

Although it is impossible to compare with the Pantheon, it is indeed a good place to release films easily. With just a pat, you feel like you are in Europe. Coupled with the soft light approaching the evening, you can't help but stay for a long time.

This treasure park is actually free. Through the different architectural styles and different landscape elements of various countries, the unique garden landscape characteristics of various automobile countries are symbolically displayed. The combination of diverse and colorful landscapes with car displays from various countries makes car culture and garden landscape culture closely complement each other, giving people a rich experience.

Shimao Plaza| Hello Kitty, retro childhood fun

Coordinates: L6-L8 floors, No. 829 Nanjing East Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai City.

Shimao Hello Kitty's Time Journey to Shanghai is another new masterpiece of Shimao Group in the field of culture and entertainment. Working together with Sanrio's team, we carefully designed and created the unprecedented Hello Kitty theme hall with the theme of indoor beach in China.

The theme hall is Shanghai from three different eras. The concept of a time travel group runs through the entire theme. The character setting of IP such as Hello Kitty, Melody, and Cool Penguin will be combined with the background of each era.

I didn't have great expectations before coming, just to walk my baby on the weekend and find a place with a beautiful indoor environment and easy foraging around. I had also visited Hello Kitty's theme museum at the New Chitose Airport in Sapporo, Hokkaido, so I guessed that the interior scenery should be similar ~

Shanghai's landmarks and the cute gestures of Hello Kitty and her friends showcase the modern and gorgeous landscape of modern Shanghai, and at the same time start the prelude to this time trip to Shanghai Beach.

The dreamy exterior wall is full of color and rhythm, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed. Tickets are not cheap. If that's all, just pay IQ tax! Unexpectedly, the surprise came by surprise. The blend of cartoon animation and old Shanghai customs is definitely unique in the world!

After passing through the magical "kaleidoscope", we arrived at L7 Shanghai Laolongtang Happiness Lane. Shanghai Xiaonan, who has a deep alley complex, saw the heart-shaped coal cake and even the handle of the stove was heart-shaped. She couldn't help but exclaim: "This is so good!"

A Shanghai girl like Miao Miao, who can't even speak Shanghai dialect, naturally can't understand the heart of the old mother next to her. However, she also looked around curiously. Everything to her was not nostalgic, but new.

It just happened that the children could experience the daily life of their parents in the 1980s. In my memory, the public telephone booth, breakfast shop, yellow croaker cart, drying rack, sewing machine... Those were the most accustomed items in my childhood, but now they have become fleeting memories. In just a few decades, Shanghai has developed so rapidly that no trace of its past can be found.

When I arrived at L8 Shili Shanghai, it was Shanghai that even I was unfamiliar with. It was intoxicating and decadent. This was a memory of the 1930s that could only be heard from the older generation. Accompanied by classic songs from the 1930s, you can have a panoramic view of old Shanghai's streetscape and distinctive buildings.

This theme museum has cooperated with many local brands in Shanghai to develop Hello Kitty globally limited products with local Shanghai characteristics, which carry a strong and long-term Shanghai-style cultural heritage and historical customs.

As a "world superstar" in the IP image world, Hello Kitty is favored by fans of different ages and has shown high popularity in many fields such as fashion, film and television, and business. This time, Shimao Group and Sanrio Group, the copyright party of Hello Kitty, have joined forces across the border to open a new breakthrough for the consumption upgrade of Shanghai's Nanjing Road business district, and have become a cooperation model for the domestic real estate industry to deeply integrate the IP of world cultural brands.

This is also another world-class IP-themed image project launched in Shanghai after Shanghai Disneyland. There is no big fire here yet, there are not many visitors, and it is very enjoyable to have fun. But this place is bound to become a new business card for cultural brands in Shanghai and even across the country. Only by checking in early will you leave no regrets ~

Nanxiang InCity| Seeking forest, tropical memory

Coordinates: No. 2299, Chenxiang Road, Jiading District, Shanghai City.

Shanghai Nanxiang Impression City MEGA has moved the forest into the shopping center, combining commercial space with business format, moving lines and design, and using forests, wetlands, and mountains to create an immersive green leisure experience. "Seeking Environment·Forest" introduces more than 200+ domestic and foreign plants to create a 5-storey cross-level ecological botanical garden. It also provides mobile phone map recognition and popular plant knowledge.

At the same time, the Botanical Garden teamed up with British artist Luke Jerram to create a six-meter-diameter "Super Moon" art installation, which was exhibited in China for the first time. This place has been quickly promoted to Shanghai's new Internet celebrity, and our lives are endless because of its fame. We cannot escape the customs.

This is a mini version of the Singapore Marina Bay Gardens greenhouse, with a variety of tropical plants and flowers planted, and there is also a small waterfall behind the elevator. If you are tired from shopping in the mall, you might as well come here to take a nap. The children will have a good time and don't miss home.

Nanxiang Impression City is currently the largest shopping mall in Shanghai. It is a one-stop place for eating, drinking and entertainment. It is a holy place for parents, couples, and girlfriends to check in! This Internet celebrity glass house "Tropical Rainforest" is hidden on the periphery of the first floor of the mall. On the left side of the Yinxiang Street exit, the elevator leads directly to the mall.

I have to praise that the portraits here are even better than Marina Bay in Singapore. I remember when I went to Singapore the year before last, due to too many tourists and poor lighting, we didn't produce any satisfactory portraits of the real Gardens by the Bay. This time was an unexpected gain.

Huajia Glass Forest| Transparent flower room, coffee shop

Coordinates: No. 41, Hongqiao Fund Town, No. 3081 Hongmei Road, Minhang District, Shanghai City.

The sun room in the city-FLOWERPLUS Huajia's first member experience store, the glass forest is located in the villa area of Hongqiao. It combines flowers, coffee, magazines and small galleries, allowing every customer in it to experience another possibility in the living space.

FLOWERPLUS is the leading comprehensive flower service platform in China. Since its establishment in 2015, it has pioneered the "subscribe flowers" service for weekly flowers. In just five years, it has rapidly grown into a leading brand of "daily flower subscription".

At the same time, in the past five years, Hanjia has never stopped exploring new areas. As early as when new retail trends first emerged, it began to lay out offline experience stores to create a comprehensive ecosystem with flower products as the core.

Different from general single-functional experience stores, the Glass Forest is a comprehensive urban space that integrates flowers, green plants, coffee, bookstores, and small galleries.

The first floor is a paradise for coffee and flowers and greenery, and the carefully designed comfortable leisure area is decorated with magazines, books and paintings. In order to enjoy a more private and quieter environment, we specially arrived at 9 o'clock as soon as we opened. It was indeed a wise move.

There is no need to make an appointment, find the seat you like, scan the code and order, and then deliver a cup of fragrant coffee or a piece of sweet cake.

This romantic sun room is like a quiet and hidden forest. It has the elegance of the deep forest, but also the freedom and leisurely life. It is surrounded by flowers and green plants, the fragrance of coffee, and the companionship of calligraphy and painting. Whether it is resting with friends or enjoying it alone, it is an excellent experience.

Constant innovation, constant exploration, and creating a better life experience for urban people are the founding philosophy of this store. Based on this, breaking the boundaries of life, the glass forest is a new challenge.

The theater is built next to the lake and is located in the Administrative Cultural Center of Jiading New City, Jiading District. It is the first theater in China to have a waterscape theater and one of the landmark cultural facilities in Shanghai. The surrounding environment is beautiful, complete facilities and convenient transportation, which can provide world-class artistic enjoyment for art lovers.

Shanghai Poly Theater was completed in the Administrative and Cultural Center of Jiading New City, with a total construction area of 56,000 square meters and a total investment of approximately 700 million yuan. Japanese architect Tadao Ando, winner of the Pritzker Architecture Award, took charge of the design of the theater. After inspecting the physical buildings, Ando called it "the best embodiment of the works he designed" in China.

Tadao Ando is a famous Japanese architect. His works include Yukishinaga, the Japanese Government Hall of the World Expo, and the Church of Light. Although he has never received formal education, he has created a unique and brand-new architectural style and has become one of the most active and influential world architectural masters today.

Hoshino Hotel during my trip to Hokkaido has always been on my grass list. The one that attracts me the most is the "Water Church", which is also the work of Tadao Ando. My favorite female singer Liang Jingru, her MV of "Worship" was taken there.

This building also fully reflects Ando's iconic as-cast concrete design style, with a transparent glass curtain wall wrapped around the exterior wall. The main body of the theater is a square with a side length of 100 meters. The plain concrete exterior wall is wrapped in a transparent glass wall, and five cylindrical pipes run through each other, forming a unique open functional space.

Cut out a unique shape to form its iconic shape. As an important highlight of the building, the cylindrical space presents a rich and varied appearance like a kaleidoscope. These cylindrical spaces have also become important functional spaces such as the waiting hall and outdoor theater of the theater.

The theater can meet the requirements of dance dramas, operas, dramas, symphony concerts, operas and variety shows, and its architectural sound effects reach the top domestic level of architectural acoustics and stage equipment functional configuration.

During the day, it is like a jade filled with many secrets sitting quietly on the bank of Yuanxiang Lake. At night, it becomes an exquisitely clear crystal box, floating on the vast water, quietly talking to its own reflection.

The building is combined with natural elements such as water, wind, and light, and there are viewing platforms in all directions. Visitors can see different landscapes from different angles. The outdoor theater combines architecture and environment, with the simple exterior shape contrasting with the rich interior space.

I give up the popular flowering period and enjoy a piece of world to myself. I will not hesitate to choose the latter. What's more, in such a courtyard, who says there are no other surprises?

The layout of Qiuxia Garden is exquisite, the environment is elegant, and it is small and exquisite. The scenery and colors do not change much. It seems to be shrouded in a faint autumn feeling, making people full of poetic reverie.

The thatched cottage is frosty and clear, the autumn wind is rustle, the water is blooming, and the rain is flowing." This couplet vividly depicts the scenery of Qiuxiapu in spring and autumn.

The layout of the whole park is compact, with craftsmanship winning. There are pavilions and pavilions, Huachi winding paths, lush forests and bamboo, low railing bridges, broken banks dripping springs, and rockery and strange caves.
