Song Cheng (Song Dynasty Park)

Song Cheng recreates the Southern Song capital that Hangzhou once was: streets of wooden shops, tea houses, and costumed officials, all inside a themed park where hanfu rental and styling are part of the entry ritual.

The headline is Song Cheng Eternal Love, one of the most-watched stage productions in the world - a spectacular retelling of Hangzhou's legends with fireworks, water stages, and hundreds of performers. Between shows, dine in Song costume at the themed restaurants and browse the crafts streets. Half the park's visitors are dressed for the camera, and the evening performance alone justifies the trip.
