*Last weekend, I teleported to Shanghai to visit the newly opened Songcheng Scenic Area, spending an exciting and interesting afternoon.*

**Shanghai Songcheng Scenic Area Overview:**
Located in the Expo Park by the Huangpu River, Shanghai Songcheng boasts a superior geographical location. It combines indoor and outdoor entertainment modes, catering to visitors of all ages. The area is both a shocking performing arts park and a magical fairy tale kingdom, quietly narrating the past and present of the Bund in Shanghai.

**The Six-Story Fantasy Building:**
The scenic area is based on a six-story fantasy building, each floor with its own unique style. Among the attractions, three major shows stand out:
1. “Shanghai Everlasting Love” – A show depicting the past and present of Shanghai.
2. “WA! Dinosaur” – A show suitable for children.
3. “Passionate Samba” – A hot exotic dinner show.

*This time, Xiao Yao chose the ‘Passionate Samba’ dinner show.*

**’Passionate Samba’ Dinner Show:**
It is said that good food can heal everything, and the combination of food and dance is even more indispensable. The ‘Passionate Samba’ dinner show is such a combination. In 60 minutes, the show interweaves food and passionate performances, creating an overall atmosphere filled with romantic sentiments. The performance effect is surprisingly good, with actors from Russia, Ukraine, Argentina, Cuba, and other countries enthusiastically participating. With flickering lights and unrestrained music, they perform various programs full of rich South American style.

**Dining Experience:**
The South American dishes are very appetizing, including whole wheat bread, tuna vegetable salad, cream of mushroom soup, Rio barbecue platter, and dessert, along with unlimited free fresh orange juice. The exquisite dishes and delicious taste offer a double feast for the taste buds and the eyes.
