Songcheng City
Located at No. 148 Zhijiang Road, Hangzhou, Songcheng City (meaning “Song Dynasty City”) opened on May 18, 1996. It is the first large-scale man-made theme park in Hangzhou and has become one of the city’s most popular cultural tourism destinations.
Following the design philosophy of “building as the form, culture as the soul,” Songcheng Hangzhou recreates the architectural style and urban atmosphere of the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD). Inspired by the famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan, a renowned artist of the Northern Song Dynasty, the park vividly restores the lifestyle, streets, and cultural scenes of ancient Song-era China.
As the first theme park in Hangzhou dedicated to showcasing the cultural heritage of the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, Songcheng attracts millions of visitors every year. The park combines traditional architecture, historical performances, interactive experiences, and modern entertainment, offering visitors an immersive journey back to ancient China.
The highlight of Songcheng is the world-famous large-scale live performance “Romance of the Song Dynasty” (Songcheng Eternal Love Show), which is regarded as the cultural soul of the park. Together with the “O” Show in Las Vegas and “Moulin Rouge” in Paris, it has been recognized as one of the world’s most renowned stage productions.
