## About Song Dynasty Town (Songcheng)

Song Dynasty Town is located in the Zhijiang Tourist Resort in Hangzhou. It is the city's first large-scale man-made theme park and holds AAAA-level scenic area status. The large-scale song-and-dance spectacle *Song Dynasty Town: Romance of a Thousand Years* is the soul of the park, and it is also hailed as one of the "Three Great Masterpieces of the World." Beyond the stage shows, the internet-famous Rainbow Stairs are also worth a visit. The steps are painted in rainbow colours, and each step is a different colour, so it feels like walking on a rainbow, a truly distinctive experience.
