"The Countdown" is a classic musical created by Jonathan Larson. It tells the story of a young composer wandering between dreams and reality, full of profound thoughts on ideals, youth and the passage of time.
The protagonist of the story, Joe, is about to celebrate his 30th birthday, but he has not yet made a name for himself in the theater world. He lives in a small apartment in New York, works in a restaurant to make a living, and at the same time works hard to create his own musical works, hoping to enter Broadway in one fell swoop. However, the people around him are choosing a stable life: his girlfriend Susan is eager to leave the city and settle in the suburbs, and his good friend Mike has given up his dream of becoming an actor and entered the business world. Joe feels the double pressure from life: the pressure of time and the reality of society. Just when he began to doubt his choice, he was encouraged by the legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, and finally Joe strengthened his faith.
"Countdown" uses dynamic music and sincere and moving lyrics to depict a young man's struggle between ideals and reality. This is not only Jonathan Larson's confession to himself, but also a portrayal that resonates with countless dream chasers.
This time, let us feel it live, truly resonate, and hold on to the voice of our dreams!

Fenyang Road is arguably Shanghai&#39;s most musically charged street; the Shanghai Conservatory of Music Opera House, illuminated by warm yellow spotlights, appears even more elegant.

At night, light filters through the carved glass windows, its silhouette outlined by the spotlights, creating a &quot;crystal building&quot; suspended in the shadows of the plane trees.

Floating above the plane trees, bathed in starlight, the occasional jazz notes and the light and shadow of intangible cultural heritage string music at the corner weave together a &quot;symphony of the night&quot; on Fenyang Road.

Entrance to the opera house is free through official channels, and tickets are available for many charity performances. Of course, music enthusiasts can also purchase tickets for concerts. It&#39;s a truly wonderful cultural and arts venue.

The queue is basically about two hours. The attractions are good, but if you don&#39;t buy VIP, the experience may be a bit bad. You can&#39;t play many attractions in a day.

Officially, this park is suitable for children under 12, so the overall design features high-contrast colors, emphasizing visual appeal over thrills.
The rides are designed to be gentle, perfectly fitting the LEGO theme. It feels like you&#39;ve transformed into a miniature person and stepped into a world of bricks.
The kids are certainly excited, and recently, there haven&#39;t been any long lines.
Go experience the novelty of the world of bricks!

The Fourth Shanghai Tourism Investment Promotion Conference, held on June 18th, released the 2025 Shanghai Cultural Tourism &quot;Ten, Hundred, Ten Million&quot; investment blueprint. Shanghai Super Happy Valley, located in the Sheshan National Tourism Resort, was a key project signed.

According to Hu Wei, General Manager of Shanghai Happy Valley, the project plans to invest 2.6 billion yuan to complete the renovation of Shanghai Happy Valley over an eight-year period, including the introduction of new rides and immersive performances. &quot;For example, we plan to introduce Asia&#39;s first stand-up roller coaster in Phase 5 of the project.&quot;

Phase I of the Shanghai Super Happy Valley project is reportedly an upgrade to the Hurricane Bay area of ​​the existing Happy Valley. Phases III and IV will focus on Chinese-themed and national trend themes. Phase I is expected to be completed in June 2027.

I arrived at 2:00 pm and took the subway directly to Lujiazui. I entered through Gate 8 and was lucky to get in straight away without a line. The elevator was very fast. The view at 263 meters was beautiful, and the glass platform at 259 meters was exciting and worth seeing. However, the line started to form after I got down. Therefore, there are fewer people before 7:30 am or around 12:00-14:00.

Many rides share two queues, making it easy to mistakenly take photos, but thankfully, they&#39;re all quite similar. There are some areas within the park where phones are prohibited, so I recommend providing temporary electronic lockers to avoid the awkwardness of having to return to the entrance or swapping people to retrieve items. The waves at the Water Beach weren&#39;t as fun as I&#39;d imagined. The force was average, and I drifted in place, unable to reach shore. I even felt nauseous from the waves. The Lazy River, on the other hand, was quite relaxing, just drifting with the waves.
