Some time ago, there were local cases in Shanghai. Although it was properly controlled, after all, the itinerary code carried an asterisk, making it inconvenient to go to other places, so I just walked around the city. One day I took annual leave and went to the Expo Park in Pudong in the morning.
The Shenyuan inside must be booked in advance on the public account to visit it. It is a relatively new Chinese courtyard.
The Expo Park was the original address of the Expo, but now it has been converted into a park.
It is connected to the back beach.
Unfortunately, there was no place to eat in the Expo Park. I still took a bus to Lujiazui for late lunch, and then stopped by the Bund Art Museum.
Every floor of the Bund Art Museum has a landscape window facing the Oriental Pearl.
During that period, the main display was works created by an artist using gunpowder and paint.
The Bund Art Museum is a very atmospheric curatorial exhibition.
There is also a beautiful terrace and restaurant on the top floor.
In the evening, I went to the Mackinnon Hotel to watch the immersive performance of "Sleepless Nights".
Spend some space here to talk about it for a while. This show is held every day and has been going on for four years. It has increased from the initial ticket price of more than 400 yuan to the current price of 800 to 800 yuan. There are still some fans who will watch the show repeatedly in order to follow different actors. Explore the side plot. The story is mainly based on "Macbeth". The actors have no lines and mainly express themselves through physical movements and dancing, as well as laughter and shouts. Audiences can watch and interact with actors at close distance.
I bought the scene at 7 o'clock in the evening, and according to statistics, I can see the plot at most 2.75 times. I also got a playing card when I picked up the ticket. After storing my coat and bag, I entered the venue with a few little girls. We went upstairs and passed through a winding and dark corridor to the stage area of the bar. After receiving a drink, the host will introduce the precautions. Then enter the performance space in batches according to the size of different playing cards. You need to seal your mobile phone in a small bag. You cannot take photos during the performance, and the audience will also issue a mask and wear it throughout the journey.
The audience entered the elevator in batches. The host also warned the audience not to steal props. At first, they thought it was funny, but later they saw that the tableware in the restaurant was indeed quite exquisite. No wonder the host gave a reminder. The elevators drop off in batches on different floors, and audiences who are required to explore and watch the drama alone will go out alone first. I got off with everyone, and then I went upstairs and saw Duncan struggling in the bedroom in pain.(Later, I found out that Lady Macbeth had poisoned him when I saw the branch line.) Then when Macbeth used a feather pillow to kill him (the pillow was removed three times in one night because Duncan died three times), I followed the protagonist Macbeth. After killing Duncan, he went downstairs to meet his wife in the bedroom and washed off the blood. Later, I concluded that the main plot that happened in this bedroom was a bath, a sex scene and the wife's changing clothes. Macbeth went to Elyland again, where the lights were flashing, there were performances by several prophets, cow heads and horse faces, and the plot of expecting a baby. Then he followed Macbeth to a billiard room. There was a fight scene where he killed another opponent. The archer sister lamented that the props were very strong, and the wall and billiard table could not be damaged no matter how hard they smashed them. We also went to the long table of the final trial. At first, it was a gathering place, and each gathering pretended to be happy, knowing everyone but not their hearts. After the party Macbeth also killed a pregnant woman in order not to let her children snatch his throne. Then I went to see the Prophet again, and there was a wonderful performance like flying over eaves and walking walls. The Prophet took out his playing cards and congratulated him on becoming king.
Later, when there was a repeat plot, I followed Lady Macbeth again. She gave her the necklace of the Heart of the Sea at the banquet, but she poisoned him. It was really the most poisonous to a woman. After Macbeth killed people, she changed her dress to go to the banquet. She only had two costumes for the entire performance-pajamas and tuxedo. She also went to the cemetery, pulled the audience closest to her by the small fountain, and gave her a necklace.
When I saw the plot of the second pregnant woman being killed, I chose to follow the pregnant woman again. After the fight, she did not die. Someone put her on the sofa and took away her ring. It seemed that there was a branch line, but I didn't follow that person. Later, the pregnant woman went to a party again and there was no special event. It was actually better than the previous branch line, and it seemed that it was possible to get a ring souvenir.
She chased the actor upstairs and downstairs one night, but chose to stay where she was after going to Eland for the second time. She saw the prophet's dance performance, which was wonderful, and there was also a side plot of a maid. She seemed to have been bullied all the time. I didn't see who she had brought. Finally, she followed her downstairs to the long table of the final trial. This time it was a real trial and Macbeth was hanged. The lights were dark before I put the rope on him, so after seeing that he was really hanging in the air, I stayed where I wanted to see how he faked it, but the staff signaled the audience to leave, and we returned to the bar stage.
There were also some minor side lines in the middle. I thought it was a quite interesting experience, but I didn't know how to brush it again. Just try it once.
During the Chinese New Year, I visited several temples. Although I avoided Jing 'an Temple, which had a vicious increase in ticket prices (from 50 to 200), and went to Longhua Temple, which did not require tickets on the second day of the year, I still lamented that the so-called Bodhisattva who regarded money as dung were used by temple contractors and operators as a money-making tool, and the commercial atmosphere was strong everywhere.
From donation boxes to prayer belts, from burning incense to offering flower baskets, there is the smell of copper everywhere, but there is a steady stream of people coming to pay the bill.
Then I took the subway to Zhenru Temple. This is a simple and elegant temple that I like very much. Tickets are ten yuan and only cash is charged.
Zhenru Temple is a Tang Dynasty style. It has simple and elegant colors and wooden structure. There are not many tourists and you can calm down.
There is a stupa and a prayer barrel, and the prayer barrel goes around the tower exactly one way.
There are also corridors, where you don't need to open umbrellas even when it rains, and you can also see the inscriptions. There are also turtles and goldfish in small ponds.
Not far away from the door, there is also the famous Zhenru Mutton Restaurant, which has both white cut and braised meats, and its business is booming.
The next day I went to Meilan Lake in Baoshan, which was a bit bleak in winter.
Meilan Lake is not far from Baoshan Temple. Admission is ten yuan on weekdays and twenty yuan during the Spring Festival.
Baoshan Temple has become the latest Internet celebrity temple, but the building is too new and still needs the baptism of time.
In the Huashen Square in Baoshan Luodian, there is also the mascot Luo Duoduo, the one who steams steamed buns.
I also found Aunt Wu's special snacks and especially recommended her family's Caotou Ta cakes. After eating them, I bought a few more and took them back to the family to try them together. They were especially fragrant with lard.
The following weekend met with good friends to stroll Wukang Road and went to a stylish clothing store.
There are always long queues at the door of this house on weekdays. There are not many people during the Spring Festival. Because the stairs of the small bungalows are narrow, visitors are restricted.
I also went to the Hengfu Style Museum, which records the history of the former French Concession along Hengshan Road and Fuxing Road.
There are also shops and afternoon tea on the second floor.
I also went to the Keling Memorial Hall not far away. He was one of the first filmmakers in New China during the same period as Xia Yan.
It is said that Zhang Leping's former residence is also nearby. I will go there another day. I visited a Chinese fragrance shop again. There was also a hand-cleaning ceremony when I entered the store. I washed my hands and then applied the hand cream with the aroma of his wood.
Different from the publicity of some Western perfumes, the aroma of his house is more restrained and there are many different fragrance types that you can try.
You can also drink coffee and read magazines and books in the store. Live a happy life and live in the present.
