About this place

Named after Shi Guangnan, the beloved composer behind 'In the Fields of Hope,' this striking modern cultural landmark houses a 1,200-seat grand theatre meeting international Class-A acoustic standards.

Drifter says

"The most compelling thing here isn't what's inside — it's what happens outside. Come after 8pm and find the vast plaza with its cold geometric lines completely colonized by hundreds of locals with their own heavy bass speakers, doing ballroom dancing and street dance. The contrast between a space designed for high culture and this joyful, unapologetic community takeover is something only Chongqing produces."
