Korean Nanta Cooking Show

The Korean Nanta Musical is the first non-verbal performance in Korea, created with the melody of the Samul nori as its material. It ingeniously combines the rhythms of Korean Samul nori with Western drum sets, thus making this work a success. Set in a large kitchen, the performance is structured around the process of four chefs preparing food for a wedding banquet, using kitchen utensils (pots, spoons, dishes, etc.) to create the content. The sounds produced by these kitchen tools have the explosive power of the original sounds of Samul nori, rhythmic, with a clear melody, and are an art form loved by people of all ages. Since its beginning in October 1997, it has received an enthusiastic response from audiences and has now broken the record for the most box office in Korean performance history. YOUNG Theater was formerly known as Yangpu Grand Theater, located in one of the busiest sections of Kongjiang Road in Yangpu District, built in 1996. The theater has an elegant environment, integrating meetings, movies, performances, and exhibitions, and is one of the iconic performance venues in Yangpu District. With the development of the times, the old Yangpu Grand Theater gradually lost its popularity. In February 2018, the Yangpu District Culture and Tourism Bureau of Shanghai signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with the Shanghai Grand Theater, and it was determined that the renovated Yangpu Grand Theater would be renamed 'YOUNG Theater'. 🌟Highlights: Interactive and fun, full of laughter, suitable for all ages 👍Most recommended: Enhances the atmosphere, gets everyone excited! 🚉Travel tips: Just out of the Huangxing Road subway station on Line 8 ✅Must experience: A performance project from Korean tourism, now brought to China.

Walking in a park in Shanghai

The park has a sense of history, with two exits. I entered from Longchang Road and exited from Shuangyang Road. There seems to be a small commodity market nearby, but it was closed when I arrived late. Built in the 1950s, the park is quite large, with bridges, corridors, and pavilions, giving it a garden-like atmosphere. Of the five major tourist areas, I specifically marked the amusement area. There is a landmark elephant slide in it. I brought a camera with me, but it was so cold that my hands and feet were freezing. Then a girl, who seemed to have an instant camera, asked me to take a picture for her. This landmark elephant slide is really unforgettable. The impression of vegetation may not be so profound in winter. I can go and see it in spring and summer. I like the lush and vibrant scenery. There are many types of trees in it, and according to the introduction, there are more than 180 kinds. I also saw sheep feeding jade carvings, artificial mountain waterfalls, large lawns, etc. It is a free park for local residents to relax and empty their minds!
