Gorgeous night tour activities at Song City

In this scorching summer, the evening has become the best time for everyone’s leisure and entertainment. Song City in Shanghai has also launched night tour activities, which are said to be very exciting. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s go and check it out!

How to enjoy the night tour at Song City?

Night Tour Time Guide
You can enter Song City’s night tour activities at 5 pm and stay until 10 pm in the evening. You can play as you wish during these hours, from the first floor to the sixth floor, and even outside. Except for the outdoor park on the first floor and the open-air garden on the top floor, all indoor areas are equipped with air conditioning facilities, which is very satisfying. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure and stay cool! The elevators and escalators in the scenic area make it convenient to go up and down to watch performances.

Night Tour Performance Guide
Song City in Shanghai offers performances every day, which means performances are continuous from the start of business hours. The content of the performances is rich and colorful, and each performance has a scheduled time and location. You can ask the staff for the day’s program schedule, and they will provide it to you. The staff are very polite and patient. It’s recommended to take a photo of it with your phone so you can check the performance times and locations at any time. Most performances are scheduled at different times, but if you want to watch them all, that might be a bit greedy. Choose the ones you like.

Recommended Night Tour Performances
The performance of ‘The Great Earthquake’ is watched in the theater and is very exciting. It is basically at a fixed location and time. The time for the night tour activities is from 17:30 to 18:10, and the location is in the No. 2 Theater on the first floor. Entering early allows you to find a good seat to watch.
In addition to ‘The Great Earthquake’, there are many other performances to watch, such as ‘Magic Bubbles’, ‘Hello, Chaplin’, ‘Magic Ventriloquism’, ‘Crystal Ball’, ‘Jingwu Arena’, ‘Cliff Concert’, ‘Secrets of the Jungle’, and of course, the family-friendly ‘Carnival of Joy’ and ‘Color Splash Party’.

Night Tour Photography Recommendations
Many of Song City’s attractions are indoors and very cool. It is recommended to visit the ‘Sky Market’ on the sixth floor and ‘Shanghai Origin’ on the fourth floor. These two places are especially popular with girls because the photos are very eye-catching!

Night Tour Food Guide
The first floor of the building also has a very rich snack street and restaurant with many delicious snacks and meals, and the prices are not expensive. It is recommended to try the grilled tofu, which tastes very good and is a large portion enough for two people. It’s almost too much to finish, and it’s only 20 Yuan, which is really not expensive. Mineral water is 5 Yuan per bottle, and the 500-milliliter packaging is also not expensive. There are also various affordable snacks for sale, so you don’t have to worry about not having anything to eat or not enjoying the food.

Transportation
Take the subway line 13 to the World Expo Avenue Station, then walk to the scenic area for 5 minutes. There is also a parking lot at the scenic area, which is quite large.

How to Enjoy the Exciting Night Performances
My greatest loyalty to Song City lies in its various performances, which are really exciting! For example, ‘Eternal Love’ is a performance that must be seen in life, a feast for the soul. However, that is a paid performance item. In the night tour activities of Song City in Shanghai, there are more free performance items. Not only are they free, but the performances are also very exciting, which is really cost-effective! ‘The Great Earthquake’ tells the story of the Wenchuan Earthquake. ‘The Great Earthquake’ is also one of the performances that must be seen, fully and three-dimensionally recreating the tragic situation of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and the rescue process after the disaster.Shanghai Songcheng offers a delightful experience with its well-maintained indoor facilities, air-conditioned for comfort. The outdoor park on the first floor and the open-air garden on the top floor provide a refreshing change of scenery. Most importantly, the air-conditioned spaces ensure that guests can avoid the sun and stay cool throughout their visit.

Navigating the scenic area is a breeze with the availability of elevators and escalators, making it convenient to move up and down to catch various performances. With a rich and colorful program of performances happening every day, guests are advised to ask the staff for a schedule upon arrival. The staff are known for their politeness and patience, ensuring a smooth experience. It’s recommended to take pictures of the schedule with your mobile phone for easy reference, as the performance times are staggered, allowing for a more manageable viewing experience. While it might be tempting to try to see everything, it’s more practical to choose the performances that appeal to you the most.

For night tour performance recommendations, ‘The Great Earthquake’ is a must-watch, an exciting theater performance that is fixed in location and time. During the night tour, it can be viewed from 17:30 to 18:10 at the No. 2 theater on the first floor. Arriving early can help secure a good viewing spot. Other performances worth considering include ‘Magic Bubbles’, ‘Hello! Chaplin’, ‘Magic Ventriloquism’, ‘Crystal Ball’, ‘Jingwu Arena’, ‘Cliff Concert’, ‘Secrets of the Jungle’, and the family-friendly ‘Carnival’ and ‘Colorful Water Splash Party’.

When it comes to photography, many of Shanghai Songcheng’s attractions are indoors, providing a cool environment for picture-taking. The ‘Heavenly Street Market’ on the sixth floor and ‘Zhonghu Traceability’ on the fourth floor are particularly popular, especially among girls, due to their visually striking settings.

For food, the first floor houses a snack street and restaurant with a wide variety of delicious and affordable options. Grilled tofu is a must-try, offering a generous portion that can be shared between two people. At 20 yuan, it’s a great value, and mineral water at 5 yuan a bottle is also reasonably priced. With a range of budget-friendly snacks available, guests need not worry about going hungry or missing out on tasty treats.

Getting to Shanghai Songcheng is simple with Metro Line 13, alighting at World Expo Avenue Station, which is a 5-minute walk from the scenic area. There is also ample parking available for those who prefer to drive.

The night tour performances at Shanghai Songcheng are a significant draw, with many being free and offering high-quality entertainment. ‘The Eternal Love’ is a paid performance that is highly recommended for its life-affirming and spiritually enriching experience. ‘Earthquake’ is another must-see, recounting the tragic events of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and the subsequent rescue efforts. The performance begins with a unique interaction, as the director recruits extras from the audience, enhancing the sense of participation and interactivity. The narrative unfolds through a series of flashbacks, starting with a photographer’s recollection of capturing a wedding, followed by a bride’s memories of her mother’s protection during the quake. The performance then transitions to a vivid depiction of the earthquake’s devastating impact, complete with realistic tremors that can be felt by the audience, creating a truly immersive and impactful experience.

At this moment, I hold my husband’s hand tightly and ponder what kind of experiences and mentalities we would have if we were in such an environment. Would we still have the mood to quarrel, complain, and blame each other? People are indeed very small. In the face of nature, we are as insignificant as ants. Thus, we must cherish the present and the people right in front of us. You never know when you might truly part.

When we witness the order and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army advancing towards Wenchuan from all directions, our hearts are filled with passion.

Several performers showcased their daring high-wire acts, thrilling the audience with their acrobatic skills. Medical staff and firefighters arrived at the simulated earthquake site to conduct rescue operations, moving fallen rocks and saving lives. Everyone leaned in to listen to the sounds from beneath, hoping that saving even one more person could uplift spirits. In the face of great disasters, this is the cohesion of a great nation. ‘The Great Earthquake’ is a must-see.

‘Magic Ventriloquism’ has a history of over 3000 years, originating from Egypt and once used in feudal sacrificial activities. In the past, ventriloquism was often considered a superstitious trick. However, in modern times, it has regained its luster, frequently appearing on American radio and television since the 1970s. During the performance, the ventriloquist manipulates a puppet, engaging in dialogue based on the plot, using different vocal tones to smoothly portray the interaction. At Shanghai Songcheng, witness a magical ventriloquist act where a monkey speaks! This performance is suitable for both children and adults, as the magical monkey interacts with the audience. It’s incredibly cute!

On the 6th floor of the Sky Market, there is a performance that you must not miss: ‘Crystal Ball’. An actor dressed like a character from Arabian mythology uses a crystal ball to perform a fantastical act. The crystal ball in his hands transforms from a sphere into a spring of water, an ocean, full of vitality. The audience’s eyes follow the actor’s movements, rising and falling continuously, creating a truly remarkable spectacle that should not be missed.

The venue also has seating for visitors to rest. ‘Magic Bubbles’ is another spectacle. The skill of the performer at Shanghai Songcheng is truly extraordinary. Simple actions can elicit gasps from the audience, bringing the show to new heights of excitement. The performer dips a tool into soapy liquid and with a few blows, creates an array of elegant bubbles. Under the lights, they reflect a variety of beautiful colors, truly stunning. Even adults can’t help but stop and admire the spectacle. Some adults even enter the stage to become models, and when a large, elongated bubble envelops the model, expressions of amazement appear on everyone’s faces, making it very interesting and lively.

His skilled movements and colorful bubbles transport us back to our childhood, turning us into the children who chased bubbles and colors. Ah~~~ It’s been years since I’ve felt like this, making me naive and youthful, with memories flooding back like a tide, engulfing me and carrying me on a wave of joy. It’s really great to experience the joy of childhood again!

Seeing the pure and innocent smiles and joyful jumps of children makes one very happy, and before you know it, tears of joy well up in the eyes. ‘Hello, Chaplin’ is a tribute to one of the earliest stars I liked. Truly, he can express all the plot without speaking, a divine talent! His little eyes, his small movements, even his bowlegged stance can make people laugh out loud, with happiness overflowing like water!

The Chaplin master at Shanghai Songcheng, at first glance, seems to be just a good impersonation, but when you watch his performance, the entire audience is filled with passion, everyone laughing uncontrollably. I have seen his performance twice, each time it is of the highest caliber, making it impossible to hold back laughter. He is very discerning in inviting children from the audience to participate in the performance. Moreover, he is very clever and will choose those half-grown boys, that is, children between 10 and 15 years old. At this age, children already have their own strong thinking patterns and behavioral expressions. Choosing such children is very wise and they will cooperate well. Every child on stage has a great time playing with this Chaplin. Everyone watching around is also laughing heartily.

In short, such a performance is pleasing to all, spreading happiness around and permeating everyone. The whole atmosphere is very good and superb. ‘Jingwu Arena’ is a battle to defend national dignity, a martial arts competition with foreign powers. Our Jingwu heroes bring China’s superb martial arts and the strength of the motherland to the extreme.

‘Colorful Water Splashing Party’ is the most exciting activity. Adults and children are having fun. What is splashed out is not just water, but all kinds of happiness and passion.

—All the disappointments are in this water and in these shouts. What reason do you have not to be happy in this water splashing activity? What troubles are not splashed away when splashing water? In fact, life is very simple. The difficult things you think may pass if you grit your teeth. The obstacles you think you can’t overcome will actually pass if you persevere. Life is actually not so complicated. Think simply.

Each individual with a thought has different ideas. As long as you grasp the thing that makes you happy, your life will be happy! Come on!

‘Cliff Concert’ is an elegant concert, a concert where beauty coexists. Those women playing the violin are like elves in the night, illuminating the night and tearing through time and space. The clear sound of the violin rises slowly in the night. This is a bright light that scatters all the haze in people’s hearts and brings people the supreme musical enjoyment. The moment for the soul to resonate has arrived, and the moment for people to enjoy has arrived. Everyone is intoxicated in the sound of the violin in this night. Unparalleled enjoyment is at this moment~~~

‘The Secret of the Jungle’ is the last performance of the night tour of Shanghai Songcheng. Originally thought it would be a perfunctory performance, but unexpectedly, it is so serious and eye-catching. This is a performance describing the life of local indigenous people living in the primitive jungle. Carefree, they run in the jungle every day and indulge themselves happily. But one day, suddenly children broke into their lives, and beautiful girls suddenly descended, all breaking the lives of the primitive indigenous people. The indigenous people try to approach the intruders and try to live in harmony with the intruders. Eventually, they become a loving family.

This story enlightens us that respecting nature is equivalent to respecting oneself. It also engages the audience, especially children, allowing them to learn to love and protect nature through entertainment.

How to capture stunning photos for your social media? During my visit to Song City Shanghai, I encountered four lovely girls and took a series of beautiful portraits of them. For those who enjoy portrait photography, I recommend the 4th floor’s Zhonghu Tracing and the 6th floor’s Heavenly Street Market, which are excellent spots for producing eye-catching photos that will undoubtedly ignite your social media feeds.

For landscape and night scene enthusiasts, the rooftop on the 6th floor is a must-visit; it offers a panoramic view of Shanghai’s dazzling nightscape, stirring a sense of grandeur within you. The venue spans six floors, with the 6th and 4th floors being the favorites among young women. The 6th floor, known as the Heavenly Street Market, is imbued with a rich exotic atmosphere, adorned with vibrant chandeliers and bright flowers, reminiscent of the descriptions in the tale of Aladdin’s lamp, making it a standout spot for photography.

The 4th floor, Zhonghu Tracing, features a costume change area where for a fee of 158 yuan, you can transform into various styles with the help of professional stylists. Even without spending money, you can still take beautiful photos here, as the entire area is designed with a retro aesthetic that is sure to impress your social media followers.

Shanghai’s nights are resplendent, and the time spent at Song City Shanghai, though brief, is filled with joy that is truly unparalleled. This kind of happiness is irreplaceable by money; a surge of passion resonates within, invigorating, comfortable, and delightful. I believe I have fallen in love with Song City Shanghai and this wonderful night!
