Song Dynasty City (宋城)
It is the largest theme park dedicated to the Song Dynasty in China. There is the most scary haunted house I have ever been. I watched the cultural performance: "Romance of Song Dynasty (宋城千古情)".

An animated version of the ancient scroll painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival (清明上河圖)”, the highlight of the China Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010 was shown in this attraction park. This famous panoramic painting by Zeduan Zhang (張擇端) captures the daily life of people and the landscape of Bianjing (汴京), today's Kaifeng (開封). The scroll has a dimension of 24.8 cm by 528 cm and the animated version is 30 times bigger. Today, the original painting is held in the Palace Museum, Beijing.
