The golden doors of "Cloud Nine" no longer lead to the typical champagne-soaked nightclub, but to an immersive space where Kunqu opera performers interact with digital art installations while mixologists craft cocktails using Ming Dynasty recipes. This ¥200 million venue exemplifies Shanghai's entertainment revolution - where establishments are transforming into "cultural consumption complexes" to meet both regulatory requirements and discerning clientele expectations.
