SHANGHAI, FOR YOU送你一座上海
A WORLD TO GIVE

A familiar city.
A different possibility.

Take a walk by the Huangpu. Imagine a little more room to dream. Leave it here for someone you love.

Opening the waterfront…

A small, walkable world by Worldengine

A PLACE CAN BE A PRESENT

Who is this Shanghai for?

Give them this Shanghai and a few words from you. They’ll begin at the waterfront, with your letter waiting in the pavilion.

 WAITING HERE, JUST FOR YOU

Dear dreamer,

May there always be a little room for wonder, even in a city you know by heart.

With love, from Shanghai

 TAKE YOUR TIME

A city at walking pace.

Walk
Use W A S D or the arrow keys. On a touchscreen, use the walking buttons.
Look around
Drag the view. Double-click for mouse look; press Escape to release it.
Choose a place
Click an open part of the path to walk toward it. Furniture and the river edge stay solid.
Listen
Turn on sound for river ambience and footsteps. Each world has its own soundscape; birds, a distant ferry and quiet chimes emerge around the walk.
Explore north
Keep the river on your right and follow the promenade into Huangpu Park, toward the People’s Heroes Monument and the view of Waibaidu Bridge.
Reimagine
Choose “In bloom” for cherry blossoms and drifting petals, “Autumn” for golden plane leaves, or “At night” for illuminated landmarks and reflections. Follow the promenade to the pavilion.
Celebrate
At night, start a light show or launch an 88-second fireworks celebration over the river. Turn on Sound for distant echoes.
Give
Write a dedication and create a link to your version of the city.
 WORLDENGINE · AN INTERACTIVE STUDY

Shanghai, with possibility.

This began with the woman I love, now my wife, and the city she loves. Autumn is my favorite; blossoms in parks and university grounds, the night skyline, and fireworks from my first visit are memories I wanted to share. So I made a little Shanghai we can walk through together.

Recognizable Shanghai landmarks meet an authored, walkable waterfront and imagined cherry-blossom and autumn seasons. The waterfront design and seasonal planting are artistic interpretations; this is not a surveyed reconstruction.

Built from Worldengine’s editable city geometry, with mapped OpenStreetMap data. Landmark detail is interpreted from documented references.

The night world is an artistic interpretation informed by landmark lighting references. Its animated patterns are original, not a recording of a particular live show. Lighting references and interpretation ↗
