The Shanghai Poly Grand Theatre Outdoor Water Feature Theater is one of the first batch of outdoor performance spaces awarded by the Shanghai Performance Industry Association. In recent years, the birth and development of new spaces for performing arts have provided more possibilities for audiences to choose where to go to watch performances, as well as for them to have an immersive experience while watching performances. It has also opened up more creative space for performance industry workers to tap into the cultural and entertainment consumption potential of residents.

The outdoor water reality light and shadow show, which Shanghai Poly Grand Theatre focuses on building, breaks through the traditional exterior walls of the theater, utilizes existing natural scenery, and combines local culture to tell a unique Eastern audio-visual aesthetic story in such a new space for performing arts.
