Life is like a dream. Time flies like a white horse passing through a gap. The childhood in memory has long been tinged with yellow edges. The stars in the night sky have long lost their luster. Standing on tiptoe, we constantly recall our childhood, only to find that it will never come back. Therefore, I can only find the fairy tales of childhood for my two princesses. In the magic city, there is always a place that can shine with its own radiance and color – Shanghai Songcheng.

‘A piece of white cloud is connected to another piece of white cloud. The dense forest reveals a hint of sunlight. The elves are playing…’ Put on a princess dress and become the master of this fairy tale. Finally, I came to the long-awaited Shanghai Songcheng and brought my princesses.

The main building of Shanghai Songcheng has seven floors. It seems very complicated, but once you enter the scenic area and get a map and take a few glances, it becomes clear at a glance! Take an unusual path and start from the top floor. Walk onto the glass observation deck on the seventh floor and overlook the bustling scene of the magic city. Sit on the glass reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and bathe in the morning sunlight. Walk across the vine bridge and travel to the Elf Valley in the fairy tale world.

Elf Valley, also known as Hobbiton, is a tranquil and beautiful paradise. Everywhere is filled with pure and charming rural charm, just like a fairy tale world. Wearing a princess dress, you run under the blue sky, smell the small flowers, and shake the wind chimes. This is your happy childhood! This is a must-visit place for bringing babies to Shanghai Songcheng. It’s extremely photogenic. Be sure to put a princess dress on your baby. In addition, there are some slides on the top floor that both adults and children can play. You can also let the little ones feel this magical world in the fantasy space. Due to the hot weather in summer, the top floor is recommended for visiting in the morning and evening.

The Heavenly Market on the sixth floor is overflowing with a retro style, as if returning to the old days of old Shanghai. When half a lifetime of dust has passed and the faces of old friends have grown old, I will surely wash away all the glitz and stay with you forever. The slanting house, upside-down house, invisible house, and kaleidoscope world opposite the Heavenly Market are all places that children like. In these fantasy spaces, it seems as if we see another version of ourselves. In the days when time flies by, we should all cherish this surprise and happiness.

The variable space on the fifth floor is a world of joyous carnivals. You can participate in the dinosaur sports meeting and learn to dance with Sister Abu. Spending parent-child time here is a good choice.

Lingering in the Eternal Love Street on the fourth floor is like being in a different world. In Shanghai Songcheng, there are internet-famous check-in points everywhere. You can also choose a cheongsam that suits you from thousands of sets of clothing in the costume changing hall and firmly engrave this moment of a changeable life in your heart.

Strolling along the banks of the Huangpu River in this newly established entertainment park, one can encounter spectacular performances at every turn. However, it is imperative to consult the schedule to ensure none of the brilliant shows are missed. ‘Hello! Chaplin’ features exquisite acrobatics interspersed with humorous moments that evoke laughter, allowing for a relaxed atmosphere and interaction with the audience—leaving one to wonder who the next lucky participant will be. On the sixth floor, the celestial marketplace offers a must-try experience, ‘Lamp Flash Mob,’ which transports visitors into the tale of Aladdin’s lamp, followed by an opportunity to dance with the performers. Such interactive performances amidst the crowd are sure to be a hit. The 5D live show ‘The Great Earthquake’ recreates the scene of the Wenchuan earthquake, placing each theater-goer as a firsthand witness to the devastation. Visitors can participate in the performance, truly experiencing the despair and suffering in the face of disaster. The unwavering determination of the People’s Liberation Army and the angels in white remind us that compassion endures. Unconsciously, tears may fall, and hearts may ache. For those lives lost in the disaster, there is no way to hold on; the only thing we can do is to live well in their stead.
