Songcheng Park, also known as the Song Dynasty Town (杭州宋城), is a captivating recreation of the Song Dynasty’s architectural and cultural splendor located in Hangzhou, China. This cultural theme park meticulously follows the style depicted in the long scroll painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Northern Song Dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan. The construction adheres to the guidelines outlined in the Song Dynasty’s architectural treatise, “Yingzao Fashi,” faithfully restoring the urban landscape of the Song era.
As the first thematic park in Hangzhou to embody the cultural essence of both the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, Songcheng Park attracts over 10 million visitors annually. The main attraction is the grand spectacle, “Songcheng Eternal Love,” often hailed as the soul of the park. Regarded alongside Las Vegas’ “O Show” and Paris’ Moulin Rouge, it is acclaimed as one of the “World’s Three Great Shows.”
The park boasts twenty theaters hosting a myriad of performances, including “The Great Earthquake,” “Phantom,” “WA! Dinosaurs,” “Captain Cook,” “Battle of Sanggan River,” “Cliff Concert,” “Yan Qing’s Challenge,” “The Beauties’ Trial,” “Throwing Embroidered Balls,” “Guo Zhuang,” “Flash Mob,” and numerous others, offering a diverse and immersive experience of Song Dynasty culture and entertainment.
