Song Dynasty Town, Hangzhou
Song Dynasty Town, also known as Songcheng, stands as Hangzhou's premier theme park, boasting the rich cultural tapestry of the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279 AD). It holds the distinction of being the inaugural theme park in Zhejiang Province. Positioned amidst the picturesque backdrop of Wuyun Mountain to the north and the enchanting West Lake to the northeast, Song Dynasty Town graces the northern banks of the Qiantang River. Drawing inspiration from the famed ancient painting 'Along the River during the Qingming Festival' by renowned artist Zhang Zeduan, its layout and architectural design vividly depict the urban landscape and societal fabric of the era.
The park is delineated into three distinct zones: Performing Songcheng, High-tech Songcheng, and Cultural Songcheng.

Meanwhile, High-tech Songcheng offers visitors immersive experiences, featuring a faithful reproduction of the 'Along the River during the Qingming Festival', two captivating haunted houses, and an enigmatic thoroughfare.
Leveraging cutting-edge technology, these attractions deliver realism and intrigue, providing guests with a novel and captivating experience. Cultural Songcheng showcases traditional artisanal workshops, cultural performances, and serene Buddhist temples, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the customs and traditions of the bygone era.
