Shanghai is set to launch a groundbreaking cultural attraction this summer with the opening of a science fiction center dedicated to Liu Cixin's internationally acclaimed Three-Body Problem trilogy. The immersive venue promises to transport visitors into the award-winning universe of collapsing civilizations and existential cosmic dilemmas through cutting-edge technology and interactive exhibits.
Bringing Sci-Fi to Life
The center’s developers describe it as a 'multidimensional experience' combining virtual reality, holographic projections, and narrative-driven installations. Visitors will reportedly navigate scenarios mirroring pivotal moments from the books, such as the Trisolaran crisis and humanity’s response to extraterrestrial threats.
Cultural and Economic Synergy
Analysts note the project aligns with China's growing emphasis on blending technology with cultural output. As the first large-scale attraction based on a Chinese sci-fi IP, it signals Shanghai’s ambition to become a hub for creative industries. The city has invested heavily in sci-fi infrastructure since hosting the 2023 World Science Fiction Convention.
A New Landmark for Global Fans
With the Three-Body franchise gaining global recognition through Netflix adaptations and translated novels, the center is expected to attract international tourists and diaspora communities. Organizers confirm multi-language support and plan timed ticket releases to meet anticipated demand.
