October 18 to 22, 2023, the 81st World Science Fiction Convention was successfully held at the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum. The World Science Fiction Park is located in the core area of the Jingrong Lake district in Pidu District, Chengdu. The venue was designed by the globally selected Zaha Hadid Architects, with an exterior inspired by the form of a 'nebula'. The lobby's skylight incorporates elements of the Sanxingdui gold foil masks, realizing a 'dialogue' that transcends a thousand years between the ancient Shu civilization and modern science fiction culture. Currently, the Science Fiction Museum can be entered for free with an ID card after making an online reservation (you can directly search for 'Chengdu Science Fiction Museum' in the WeChat mini-program to make a reservation in advance). The venue's exhibition area is divided into 3 floors, with the first floor being a shared atrium with a theater, themed exhibition areas, and a museum, the second and third floors being forum and salon areas, and the basement first floor being a time tunnel, parking lot, and equipment rooms. Due to the park's proximity, there is both the novelty of visiting the science museum for the first time and the casualness of strolling in the park downstairs. Plus, not being very familiar with science fiction, some exhibition halls were not open, and there were more entertainment and leisure areas, so after the whole visit, Xiao Zi felt a bit like she was looking at flowers in the fog. 🚉 Transportation Strategy: Combined transportation: Departing from Chengdu East Station, take the Chengdu Metro Line 2 (towards Xipu, transfer at Xipu Station to Metro Line 6 (towards Wangcong Temple), then take the tram Rong 2 Line (towards Chengdu West Station) and get off at Dayu East Road Station (Tram-Southwest Exit), and walk to the destination. Chengdu West Station: Board at the West Station, take the tram Rong 2 Line (towards Pixian West Station) and get off at Dayu East Road Station (Tram-Southwest Exit), and walk to the destination. Self-driving: Search for 'Chengdu Science Fiction Museum' at No. 560, Huashi Street, by the Jingrong Lake in Pidu District, where there is a parking lot.

The Chengdu Science Fiction Museum, also known as the Chengdu Science Museum. The bidding was confirmed in June 2022, and it officially opened to the public on October 13, 2023. In the same month, from the 18th to the 22nd, it welcomed the 81st World Science Fiction Convention. The efficiency is simply amazing! 👍 However, seeing the grey dust everywhere, could it be that they were so rushed they didn't even have time for a thorough cleaning... 😂 【 Zaha's 'Divine Curves' 】 🌠 The venue's design comes from Zaha Hadid Architects' 'Nebula' plan, with the building's 'antennae' radiating outwards in different directions, the longest being approximately 208 meters east-west and 251 meters north-south. 🌠 The size of the canopy has been precisely calculated to provide shade for the glass curtain wall during summer. It is said to also collect and store rainwater for natural filtration and reuse. 🌠 Whether viewed from afar, from above, or within the venue, it exudes an unconventional sci-fi feel. 🌠 The design also hides some small ceremonial elements. Directly above the main hall, there is a water droplet-shaped glass area of 1382 square meters, with the designer intending to symbolize the universe's age of 13.82 billion years. 🌠 When exiting the venue, visitors pass through a time tunnel, enhanced by light and sound effects, creating a highly immersive experience. The sunlight pattern scattered at the exit, when viewed from afar, resembles an overhead view of the venue's exterior, offering a visually stunning impact! Walking through the venue, my mind is always filled with flashes of science fiction movies and novels I've seen, and with every few steps, a new vista unfolds. This is definitely the most design-forward building in Chengdu at the moment! 【 The Lack of Content 】 The venue is surrounded by lakes on three sides and faces the mountains on one side. The first floor features an interactive experience area, a cultural and creative area, a Three-Body themed area, and the Hugo Hall (not open to the public). The second floor is almost entirely made up of conference halls and is not open to the public, so the accessible parts seem very limited. As a fan of the Three-Body series, I was quite disappointed with the simple KT board layout and the lack of creativity in the presentation of the Three-Body themed area. 🛸 It seems that the Science Fiction Museum is more like a venue built for large exhibitions, and the regular content is not very rich. However, it is still very worthwhile to come and see such a top-notch building! 🛸 tip: Although there is no admission fee to enter the museum, advance reservation is required.
