Blood, sweat, and tears compilation! The only truly immersive guide to Dream of the Red Chamber Drama Fantasy City!

Directed by Wang Chaoge, who spent 8 years creating this Drama Fantasy City! Featuring 14 main theaters + 8 small theaters + 108 scene spaces, with a total showtime of over 800 minutes. Every step reveals a new scene; it’s both a theater and a large photo spot, truly realizing “everyone is a character in the play”!

🎭 Theater Guide
✅ Must-see main shows (1-day ticket includes 1 show, 2-day ticket includes 3 shows):
"Having and Not Having": Water theater, performing the judgment poems of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, with stunning water screen effects (choose front row center)
"Reader’s Theater": A 7-space walking performance, dialogues with Wang Xifeng and Baoyu from the reader’s perspective, tearjerker alert!
"True or False": Breaking in from backstage to the stage, audience and actors swap roles, full of creativity!

✅ Highlights of small theaters:
"Thirty-fifth Middle School": Instantly transported back to a 1987 classroom! Chinese class + graduation ceremony, interactive and tear-inducing 😭 (sitting near actors makes you easy to be cued)
"Siheyuan": Beijing-style neighborhood feelings, fun and educational about old Beijing customs
"Ershang Store": 1974 supply and marketing cooperative + “Women’s Friend” Jia Baoyu, front row seats get “grain coupons” as gifts!

🔥 Tips:
The shows update daily! ✅ Be sure to check the official mini-program “Dream of the Red Chamber Drama Fantasy City” in advance → full program list + map navigation included!
Queue 30 minutes early to grab front-row seats! Schedule main shows around lunch, watch small theaters in the morning

📸 【Photo Guide】
👉 16 “China Gates”: Best light and shadow in the early morning! Wear Hanfu for silhouette shots pushing the door dynamically

“Yebai” and “Hebi”: solid color hollow walls + high-end light and shadow feel
“Furong Lei”: red text room with full impact
👉 Around the theaters:
Water reflections outside the Having and Not Having theater
Building clusters near Reader’s Theater

Dress suggestions: Hanfu, new Chinese style, or light-colored long dresses! White pops more in front of solid color buildings
