During the May Day holiday, the 12 romance parks all over China simultaneously launched the immersive time-travel themed “My Return to” series. It took the holiday cultural tourism market by storm and emerged as a phenomenal new travel trend. 

From the refined grace of the Song Dynasty to the grand prosperity of Chang’an, and from the earthly charm of Lingnan to rich ethnic customs, the My Return to series breaks the confines of traditional stages. Tourists are no longer mere onlookers; instead, they step instantly into the role of protagonists, traveling through time and fully immersed in the storyline. They embark on a magical millennium journey amid vivid and authentic historical settings.

Free Costume Change for Instant Immersion, Jointly Crafting a Massive Time-Travel Carnival

Centered on the creative storyline of A Magical Painting Scattered Across Twelve Cities, the romance parks thoughtfully provide exquisite traditional costumes and masks. The moment visitors step into the resort, they are instantly transported into a time-travel realm.

Even laid-back travelers reluctant to join in the fun will encounter playful themed "punishments" at random: holding the hem for Li Shishi, selling sesame cakes along the street as Wu Dalang, parading in shackles, being locked in a prisoner cart, or finishing a whole roasted chicken in public within five minutes. Amid laughter and interactive fun, visitors seamlessly blend into the plot, bidding farewell to the superficial travel routine of casual sightseeing and photo-taking visits. 

The entire romance park transforms from a mere sightseeing spot into a lively, boundless theater where every step brings a new twist. 

Once City, One Vibe: Ushering in a New Era of Immersive Tours

Hangzhou Songcheng has unveiled the brand new Great Camphor Tree Theater, with the spectacular debut of My Return to the Song Dynasty. Inspired by Along the River During Qingming Festival, the show weaves together seven storylines including street life and martial world, elegant Song Dynasty aesthetics, fantasy legends and the heroism of Water Margin, creating an immersive tour experience where stories unfold everywhere and every guest becomes part of the tale. 

All the romance parks in China have launched multiple events, each offering its own unique character and regional charm. My Return to Old Shanghai recreates the golden age of the Bund, exuding vintage allure with every turn evoking the old Shanghai vibe. My Return to Chang’an revives the cosmopolitan splendor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, letting guests savor the bustling prosperity of the Twelve Hours of Chang’an. My Return to Lingnan invites visitors to wander the chivalrous Lingnan martial world and trace the authentic nostalgic local life of Guangdong. My Return to Yangshuo, My Return to the Ancient Tea Horse Road and other themed events are rooted in original ecological ethnic customs, offering guests a cultural encounter amid poetic landscapes and mountains.

From Watching to Acting: Redefining the Cultural Tourism Paradigm

With years of dedication to cultural tourism, Songcheng seamlessly integrates millennial history and culture, distinctive regional folk customs with trendy youth-oriented interactive gameplay. It allows profound traditional culture to break free from books and conventional stages, radiating new vitality in innovative forms.

Looking ahead, Songcheng will stay committed to cultural inheritance and creative content innovation, bringing tourists more diverse, vivid and brand-new immersive cultural tourism experiences.
