Shencheng's first high-line park, "Baixi Park", is popular in the sandbox game "Minecraft" multi-dimensional

The Scene of The Hundred Jubilee Park in the sandbox game Minecraft.

The elevated walkway passes through the buildings like a steel dragon that shuttles between the road and the community, providing citizens with a new type of space to watch, rest and stroll. Recently, Shanghai's first "High Line Park", Baixi Park, was moved into the famous sandbox game "Minecraft", recreating the latest real beauty of Modu in the virtual world. In this world's most popular sandbox game, hundreds of millions of players will be able to download and install the "Baixi Park" map and "visit" Shanghai's latest Internet celebrity community park.

In recent years, more and more Chinese players have restored the urban construction picture of Shanghai in popular games such as "Minecraft" and "Urban Skyline", so that the "Magic City Beauty" has exploded in the circle with a multi-dimensional narrative. Taking the newly built Baixi Park as an example, this Street in Caoyang New Village in Putuo District was rebuilt from an abandoned railway, forming a new public space that integrates "penetration, walking, ecology, landscape, art, culture and digital", and also inspired young creators. "Today's children often learn about the world through apps and games. As someone who had a happy childhood here (Caoyang New Village), I want to bring this happiness to them, to more people who can't come to the field, and to let everyone see the great changes in this old workers' new village. Zhu Minghua (Seed Min), the bilibili (station B) UP master who made and designed the scene, said.

Restore the new scenery of the city, let the global players "punch" the first high-line park in the magic capital

The main entrance at the north end of Baixi Park is on the east side of Fengqiao Road Subway Station, north of Caoyang Road, south of Zhongshan North Road, with a total length of about 1 km, and the narrowest point is only 9 meters. When night falls, in the bright lights, Baixi Park is like a link between the past and the future of the city. The park was formerly known as the Zhenru Freight Railway Branch Line (Zhenxi Branch Line), and after the Zhenxi Branch Line withdrew from the historical stage with the development of the city, it formed Shanghai's "longest" vegetable market - Caoyang Railway Comprehensive Market. Today, this linear space has been revitalized and transformed into a three-dimensional "hanging garden" with three layers of space.

Zhu Minghua, a well-known UP owner with 3.37 million fans, is a typical Shanghai post-80s generation, who loves Shanghai and loves life, and he has a deep urban memory of the location of Baixi Park. When he was a child, he often came to Caoyang New Village to play, and when he learned that a high-line park had been built here, he had the idea of moving the real park into the game. In his opinion, this linear "high-line park" is very suitable for the game's long-form level design; the park's three-story split-level space provides a variety of routes, both as a racing game scene and for players who can't visit the park to get a more realistic experience.

According to statistics, the sandbox game "Minecraft" has more than 141 million monthly active users, becoming one of the games with the most active players at present. They create their own virtual kingdom in the game world with a high degree of freedom. In Zhu Minghua's "Minecraft" "Baixi Park" map, this multi-level, compound walking experiential community park is transformed into a game scene, and the "square people" with brick mosaic style play "parkour" racing in the park. At present, he has released a map download link in the B station dynamics, allowing players around the world to visit the Magic Capital Internet celebrity punch card in the virtual world, and the related video has been played 195,000 times.

Release the vitality of creation and use the traffic of self-media people to tell the story of Shanghai

In recent years, with strong creative vitality and enthusiasm, more and more Chinese players are keen to restore the land of Shenzhou that they live and love in the game, and enter the vision of global youth through diversified social platforms.

UP master "GNwork" and others spent several years to co-create a short video "Infrastructure Madness in the Game, Look at a Different China", which restored real scenes such as Shanghai Lujiazui, Hangzhou Qianjiang New Town, Shenzhen North Railway Station, etc., and the number of plays reached 9.78 million. UP's "UTC Joint Technology" and "LYKing" use the game tools of "Minecraft" and "Urban Skyline" to reproduce the cityscapes of Pudong Lujiazui, Disney Resort, Hongqiao Hub and so on. "National development is inseparable from infrastructure construction, builders will make it possible to travel thousands of miles a day, and every achievement is the crystallization of sweat." The creative team left a message to thank every builder for their efforts, so that the country and the people can move towards modern prosperity and strength.

How to use the traffic of self-media people to tell the story of Shanghai well? As a certain influential B station UP master, Zhu Minghua has his own opinion: "UP master" not only refers to the self-media people who upload videos, but also has the momentum of striving upwards and the appearance of thriving, which are in line with the urban spirit of Shanghai. "Some people may feel that urban planning and daily life are far away, and I want to let the content of the text and the actual things done by the party and the state for the people be told to more people." Zhu Minghua once said in an interview that his dream is to help build an "online Shanghai", so that all young people with beautiful visions for the city can experience the charm of "the most Shanghai".
