Complete Guide to Shanghai MAYDAYLAND｜The 25th Anniversary Youth Pilgrimage Map of Mayday Fans

🌟 Core Landmark Check-in Areas (sorted by priority)

1. Oriental Pearl Tower · MAYDAYLAND Command Headquarters

This is definitely the ultimate pilgrimage site for Mayday fans! The Oriental Pearl Tower collaborates deeply with the concert IP for the first time, embodying the romance of "Back to That Day."

- Must-Photograph Spots: Underfoot is a giant 5.025-meter mech built from over 1.7 million LEGO pieces; looking up, you can see the cat installation "climbing" the tower, and when framed with the "Because of You, Mayday Dolls," it feels like stepping into an MV scene.
- Hidden Experience: Don’t miss the limited exhibition "Dream Starting Point" on the 78-meter observation deck! The giant LED circular screen loops classic band moments, and standing in the center feels like being surrounded by 25 years of musical memories.
- Practical Tips: Exhibition tickets include exclusive entry gifts; open from 10:00 to 21:00. It’s recommended to arrive early to avoid the crowd peak after 2 PM. Next door, the MAYDAYLAND STORE offers pick-up for online ordered co-branded merchandise—grab the floating T-shirts and chicken drumstick tape without hesitation.

2. North Bund · The Scenery in the Lyrics

The line written by Ashin, "The Bund scenery leaps out of textbooks so fresh," truly comes to life here! This is the first check-in point of "MAYDAYLAND," with two landmarks linked for great photo opportunities.

- Dual Area Check-in: Five giant figurines on the International Passenger Platform face away from the Lujiazui skyline, and the five colorful balloons in the Century Frame Plaza correspond to the members’ support colors. Taking photos in front of the pink Ashin balloon naturally adds a soft light filter.
- Step-by-Step Directions: Exit 3 of International Passenger Center Station on Metro Line 12, take the elevator on the right, then turn left to cross the street. Enter the park and walk along the river on the left side to reach the spot in 5 minutes without detours.
- Atmosphere Easter Egg: The ground lyric stickers hide surprises, from "Stubborn" to "Any Door." Walking and singing feels like strolling through the "Mayday Chronicle." In the evening, the river breeze and singing create a healing moment when you encounter fellow fans singing together.

3. Qiantan Taikoo Li · Midsummer Party Venue

The mall is filled with exclusive Mayday fan marks! The "Midsummer Party" themed area on the central lawn is covered with graffiti installations, making every casual photo a youthful masterpiece.

- Interactive Checklist: The VR concert experience lets you immerse yourself in classic live scenes; the "Any Door Opens" exhibition displays early band manuscripts; the photo sticker machine prints exclusive commemorative photos.
- Exclusive Benefits: The gacha machine hides signed poster fragments; spending a certain amount lets you redeem custom badges. Remember to bring your concert ticket stub for dining discounts.

🚢 Limited Experience Easter Egg (Don’t Miss or Regret It)

"Horizon Unlimited" Huangpu River Themed Cruise

This "moving Mayday concert" must be taken! The cabin inside and out is full of Mayday elements like the five balls and cat installations. On the deck, you can capture the perfect shot of the Oriental Pearl Tower with the dolls.

- Ticket Purchase Tips: Tickets go on sale at 17:25 on October 30, with regular and VIP cabins both including exclusive boarding gifts. The supreme cabin offers a private butler service but is not cost-effective.
- Hidden Perks: The evening cruise lets you watch the sunset, and the entire trip plays hit songs that spark sing-alongs throughout the ship. Don’t forget to bring your "Bubu" doll to double your photo success rate.

City Sightseeing Bus · Citywide Light-Chasing Route

The co-branded bus has five routes connecting all check-in points, with Mayday elements on the bus body that are very eye-catching. It’s recommended to choose the "One River One Creek Line," passing through North Bund, Oriental Pearl Tower, Suzhou Creek, and other spots, allowing you to get off anytime for photos.

📍 Extended Nostalgia Check-in Points

1. Shanghai Stadium: The main concert venue, with a support wall outside filled with fans’ heartfelt messages. Don’t leave too quickly after the show—you might find fans sharing commemorative merchandise.
2. Changning Raffles City: Ashin’s STAYREAL-themed pop-up store is here, frequently restocking limited edition T-shirts and merchandise. The chance of encountering fan offline events is very high.
3. Suzhou Creek Century Frame Plaza: A newly added interactive installation area. After the evening lights come on, take photos with the five-ball installation for a full atmosphere boost.

📝 Practical Guide for Mayday Fans

Itinerary Planning (2 Days 1 Night Version)

- Day 1: Changning Raffles City (visit pop-up store) → Qiantan Taikoo Li (check exhibition + gacha) → Shanghai Stadium (check venue) → Bund night view (listen to "Tenderness")
- Day 2: Oriental Pearl Tower (special exhibition + buy merchandise) → Take themed cruise (Huangpu River tour) → North Bund (figurines + balloon check-in + lyric board)

Pitfall Warnings

- The Oriental Pearl pop-up store tends to limit entry in the afternoon; it’s recommended to arrive before 10 AM. The balloon area at North Bund is crowded on weekends; shooting at 9 AM or after 7 PM is more relaxed.
- Be sure to grab cruise tickets on time. Last time, the ticketing mini-program crashed due to high demand. Fill in your ID information in advance.
- Bring your concert ticket stub! Many shopping areas offer exclusive discounts, including dining discounts and shopping vouchers, which are very cost-effective.

Merchandise Storage Tips

Co-branded luggage tags, tapes, and other small items can be carried with you and used as photo props during check-ins. It’s recommended to try on limited T-shirts on-site as the sizes tend to be loose.

From the lyrics of "Any Door" coming true to the songs drifting on the Huangpu River, every check-in spot in Shanghai hides "youth related to Mayday." Perhaps, as fans say: "We’re not just checking in; we’re attending a 25-year-long date."
