Taking the kids to see Chinese fairy tales

💦 Recently, it's the rainy season, a great time for indoor activities. We went to see the long-awaited Chinese mythology, a large immersive light and shadow art exhibition. . 💡 This exhibition is held at Tianan Qianshu, a popular mall in Shanghai that I've always wanted to visit. This time, I took the opportunity to explore this famous building while visiting the exhibition! . 🌏 Although we occasionally come across Chinese classical stories, it's rare to find a place where you can comprehensively understand them all at once. . ❗️ I was pleasantly surprised that there were explanations scheduled every hour, greatly enhancing everyone's understanding of the exhibition. . 👉 Here are a few stories/scenes that left a deep impression on me: . ✔️ The ancient legends of the moon, the sun, and the new lodgings in China These traditional Chinese stories were new to me. Although my little one wasn't interested, I found them fascinating. A little spoiler: the 12 months are because there are 12 daughters~~ You can learn more about the stories of the sun and the new lodgings at the exhibition! . ✔️ The composition of the Classic of Mountains and Seas The scenery of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is stunning. With mirrors all around, it really feels like being inside the classic. I highly recommend taking a few photos here. . ✔️ The story of origins This part is quite ingenious, using light and shadow animations on stone carvings to tell the story. . ✔️ The lantern arrangement The entire exhibition is connected by the element of lanterns, which are also super beautiful. . ✔️ The stamping section Kids love stamping. Remember to bring a small notebook and get a stamp at the entrance! . 🔹 Exhibition name: Long-Awaited Chinese Mythology 📆 Exhibition period: 2024.6.8-2024.10.8 ⏰ Time: Tuesday to Sunday 10:00-22:00 💰 Tickets: From 39r/person (no reservation needed) 📍 Address: Dayang Jingdian·Tianan Qianshu 7F 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 13, Jiangning Road Station, Exit 1 . ❓ What else is there to do nearby? 200 meters from Tianan Qianshu is Suzhou River Mengqingyuan Environmental Theme Park, which is also worth a visit. .
