The Spring Festival of the Year of the Horse is approaching, and the "Top of Shanghai" observation hall in Shanghai Tower is ushering in a new upgrade. Its B1 preface exhibition hall has been unveiled with a new look and will be officially opened to tourists on February 13. This upgrade takes the "one river and one river" urban context as the core clue, deeply integrates red culture, Shanghai style culture and Jiangnan culture, and uses multiple exhibition forms and high-tech experience methods to create an immersive journey of urban civilization from ancient to modern times, allowing tourists to understand Shanghai's cultural heritage and the vitality of the times before climbing to the top.
Stepping into the renovated B1 preface exhibition hall, you will feel the integration of history and humanity. Visitors can touch the reproduced Shikumen components of the site of the National Congress of the Communist Party of China and feel the warmth of red history up close; they can also appreciate the poetic aesthetics of Jiangnan ink painting beside the black tiles and pink walls with Jiangnan charm. The entire exhibition hall takes "one river and one river" as the main narrative line, systematically sorting out the context of Shanghai's urban development, and concretely presenting the blend and symbiosis of the three major cultures. The five stained glass windows in the middle of the exhibition hall are particularly eye-catching. The cultural tourism slogan "This is Shanghai" spelled out with Shanghai-style artistic patterns. The flow of light and shadow vividly reflects Shanghai's open, innovative and inclusive urban culture.
The visual and narrative core of this upgrade is undoubtedly the newly built 100-meter-long wall display area. This area takes architecture as a clue and clearly outlines the evolution trajectory of Shanghai's urban civilization through three chapters: "Century of Dialogue", "Vertical Growth" and "Peak Intelligent Manufacturing". The "Century of Dialogue" chapter looks back at history, selecting precious pictures, texts and reproduced components of Shanghai's classic buildings to tell the vicissitudes and cultural accumulation since the opening of Shanghai; the "Vertical Growth" chapter draws the line of sight to the city skyline, showing the iterative replacement of Shanghai's "tallest building" in various periods, and visually showing the city's upward climb. development footprint; the "Peak Intelligent Manufacturing" chapter focuses on the Shanghai Tower itself, from the world's first eddy current damper technology to the domestic and foreign heavyweight awards it has won, comprehensively interpreting the wisdom, humanity, green, and resilience characteristics of this building, and revealing the "intelligent manufacturing code" that makes China's super high-rise buildings stand on top of the world.
In order to further enhance the immersive experience of the sightseeing route, the B1 exhibition hall has completed a comprehensive renovation in visual presentation, and high technology has become an important bridge connecting tourists and the city. After the time-lapse video of the classic exhibition "Growing Skyline" has been upgraded with naked-eye 3D technology, the growth process of the Lujiazui skyline "breaking out of the screen" is more visually stunning; the newly added "Eye of Shanghai" sand table show uses high-tech dynamic models combined with flight vision. corner, allowing tourists to overlook Shanghai in the center of Shanghai and immersively visit the landmarks of major cities; the 90-meter ultra-long volleying flexible screen set up at the top of the exhibition hall creates an immersive "peak journey" from the tourists' "first perspective", bringing a new visual experience.
In addition, the dome art space in the exhibition hall that incorporates elements of the twenty-four solar terms has also become a highlight of this renovation. This space cleverly combines digital light and shadow with physical art installations, and places the Year of the Horse themed art sculptures in the changes of light and shadow over time. It not only injects poetry and agility into the cultural narrative, but also greatly improves the artistic quality and interactive experience of the exhibition hall, bringing visitors a different kind of visual and sensory enjoyment.
"This is not only a sightseeing prelude, but also a window to understand Shanghai." The relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Center said that the renovated exhibition hall allows visitors to appreciate the spiritual core of Shanghai before climbing to the top to overlook the panoramic view of the city, from the open past, to the continuous climbing footprint, to the innovative future full of infinite possibilities.
As the tallest building in China, Shanghai Tower has become an expression carrier of urban culture. The new upgrade of the "Top of Shanghai" sightseeing hall has enriched Shanghai's cultural tourism experience with an exhibition that can be read, experienced and resonated. In the future, Shanghai Center will continue to use unique cultural expression to convey Shanghai's open character, innovative spirit and humanistic warmth to the world.
