🔥 Must-visit highlights:
1. "Only Dream of the Red Chamber · Theatrical Fantasy City" — Immersive Dream of the Red Chamber:
 - Core Theaters:
 - "You Huan Wu Theater": The "Illusory Realm" performed on water, where light and dance intertwine, the fates and verdicts of the Twelve Beauties flow before your eyes, as if stepping into the mythical opening of Dream of the Red Chamber.
 - "Reader’s Theater": Experience the book’s world through the eyes of a "reader," converse with Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng, a walking performance where every corner holds a surprise.
 - "True or False Theater": A "mirror journey" from backstage to stage, where audience and actors swap roles, deeply interpreting the philosophy of "when false becomes true, true also becomes false."
 - "No. 35 Middle School": A replica of an 80s campus with classes, mischief, graduation ceremonies... instantly igniting youthful memories, full of tear-jerking moments💗.
 - 108 Scene Spaces: Hidden in a maze-like garden are small theaters like "Impermanence Theater," "Siheyuan Stories," and "Bed Theater," each corner concealing theatrical Easter eggs.
 - Unique Design: Solid color walls, winding corridors, red lanterns hanging from above... the collision of Chinese minimalist aesthetics and modern light technology makes every snapshot a masterpiece📸.
2. Silk Road International Art Exchange Center — Art Without Borders:
 - International-level theaters and exhibitions: Featuring an opera house, concert hall, and 14 art galleries, hosting year-round international art festivals, symphony performances, and world-class exhibitions (such as the "Marc Chagall Exhibition"), experience the world without leaving the country.
 - Architectural Aesthetics: Walls textured like desert-eroded castles, green sandstone seats, strolling here feels like walking through the long history of the Silk Road.
3. Shuiyun Cultural Commercial Street — A lively place for food, shopping, and entertainment:
