🌟 Shanghai Adult Soda: An Immersive Theatrical Journey Through the Style of the Republic of China!

📜 A Modern Fantasy in a Century-Old Shikumen
The blue-brick, red-tiled Shikumen building at 457 Jumen Road was once a warehouse for foreign companies in the French Concession in the 1930s. As night falls, the neon sign &quot;Adult SODA&quot; illuminates, ushering in a magical journey through time and space&mdash;this place is more than just a restaurant and bar, it&#39;s an immersive theatrical space set in the Republican era.

🎭An Adventure Called &quot;Pearl of Drama&quot;
Push open the heavy brass doorknob, and the waiter hands you a pearl brooch&mdash;your ticket to the theater. Actors weave through the industrial-style space, still reminiscent of terrazzo floors and cast iron columns. A cheongsam-clad singer crooned &quot;Night Jasmine&quot; around the corner, while a suited &quot;banker&quot; whispered a secret in your ear. The highlight is the &quot;Romeo&#39;s Poison,&quot; a cocktail named after the play. The sides of the glass are studded with edible pearls, creating a sense of suspense with every sip, akin to a scripted murder mystery.

🍸When Food Meets a Script
The second-floor dining area retains the steel frame of the old factory, and the menu is printed on yellowed paper like a Republican-era newspaper. The &quot;Balamen Braised Pork&quot; is a must-order, served in an antique jewelry box. When you lift the lid, a phonograph song wafts through a cloud of dry ice. The waiter might suddenly transform into a &quot;spy,&quot; slipping a &quot;secret letter&quot; while you&#39;re enjoying your truffle noodles&mdash;it could be the next plot clue!

🌃The Nightlife of Shanghai Never Ends
Open until 2 a.m., the adult soda bar transforms into a jazz bar late at night. But beware the hidden door in the restroom area; it might lead to a secret theater. A &quot;concubine&quot; wearing embroidered shoes always appears in the early hours of the morning. Her sandalwood folding fan may hold the final unsolved mystery...

Shanghai Disneyland is incredible! Entering the park is like stepping into a fairytale. The castle is incredibly dreamy. The Tron Lightcycle Power Run is thrilling, the parade is a joy, and the fireworks display is breathtaking. The staff are warm and attentive, and the food is delicious. Adults and children alike will find endless joy here. It&#39;s definitely worth a visit!

Legoland is a blast, and the hotel&#39;s quality is even higher than the park itself... For our family, it felt like there were activities constantly going on, and the kids were overwhelmed, even eating was a rush. Board games, pool parties, pajama parties, bedtime stories, galactic tours, treasure hunts... the activities were plentiful.

A special shoutout to the concierge, Kiki. She contacted me two days in advance to discuss check-in arrangements and provided excellent service throughout our stay, helping us with many matters, both big and small. Traveling with my aunt and daughter, while it was a bit daunting at times, Kiki was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, helping us have a wonderful two-day trip. I&#39;m so happy to have such talented and professional staff at Legoland. I&#39;ve been to Legolands in Japan, the UK, South Korea, and the US, and I can say that most of the service awareness and attitude in China is comparable to those in developed countries. Of course, the hotel and park are new, and there are still many details that need to be considered, but I wish there were more people like Kiki to help us achieve the same level of service as top-tier parks.

It was my first time to visit Happy Valley with half-price tickets during the Tourism Festival. The number of people entering the park that day was OK, and the waiting time for the projects was acceptable. The children played most of the projects, which was not bad.

The price is very favorable, and it is also very pleasant for couples to travel together. It happened to be the Shanghai Tourism Festival, and there was a 50% discount. I highly recommend it. You can buy it online and enter directly with your ID card. It rained that day, so we thought there would be few people. In the end, the place was still full when we saw the killer whale show.

1. It was the Shanghai Tourism Festival, so tickets were cheaper. Standing at the base of the Oriental Pearl Tower, I felt the size of the ball.
2. The lines weren&#39;t as long on a weekday, but I did get a little ringing in my ears when I got on the elevator.
3. The view from above was through glass, which was okay. There&#39;s a transparent glass walkway that was a little scary the first time I went up, but I got used to it.
4. When you get down from the tower, you&#39;ll be taken to the first ball before you go down. There&#39;s an interesting museum on the first floor, telling stories and history of old Shanghai.
