An air-raid shelter has been turned into a sci-fi theme park in Shapingba District, southwest China's Chongqing.  

The scenic area, named Cave Spaceship No.1, covers an area of over 6,000 square meters. Equipped with light and shadow interaction and holographic projection technologies, visitors are able to have an immersive interactive experience.  

During times of war, air-raid shelters served as a haven for the people of Chongqing. Over time, the caves in the mountains have not faded away but have become an integral part of the city, representing an inseparable memory and historical symbol for the city's people.  

In recent years, Chongqing initiated a special project aimed at upgrading the air-raid shelters. By integrating the protection and utilization of the shelters, Chongqing has empowered its residents with a new cultural and lifestyle experience. The air-raid shelters have been converted into museums, gas stations, bookstores, eateries and other tourist attractions.
