Get ready for an unforgettable Qingming holiday!
The Great Song Spring Festival—free cosplay fun
"Willows line the streets in emerald haze, painting the March skies of Qingming." Step into the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival this early spring and experience a day in the life of the Great Song Dynasty. Start with the Great Song Lane to witness the "Prosperous Bianliang" imperial spring ritual, enjoy Great Song cuisine, Bianliang acrobatics, and matchmaking with the God of Love. Then head to Liangshan Marsh, where "Black Whirlwind" Li Kui awaits you—kick back with cuju (ancient football) and cockfighting. For the most delightful spring sight, visit "Willow-Shaded Isle" to stroll through blooming gardens, listen to traditional music on a boat ride along the Bian River, swing on a willow swing as the breeze carries you, and release flower lanterns by the city moat...
All this "time-travel immersion" comes courtesy of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival’s upcoming "Great Song Spring Festival," which launches on April 4. The opening day is also designated as "Historical Cosplay Day"—the first 500 visitors dressed in period costumes will enjoy free entry to the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. Don’t have a costume? No problem. Join the official Hengdian World Studios WeChat account (WeChat ID: u_hengdian) for its "Hengdian Spring Break Historical Cosplay Party," a hundred-person cosplay experience. Successful registrants will receive a free costume to "time-travel" back to the Great Song era.
