How ARTE全沉浸式美术馆·成都 (ARTE Fully Immersive Art Museum · Chengdu) used Xiaohongshu to promote an inland seaside escape
For its 2024 summer launch of 浪吧 (Wave Bar, with a pun on having fun) in Chengdu, the venue worked with 13 Xiaohongshu creators on 13 posts, turning real sand, digital waves and the price of a drink into an offline visit prompt.
An inland city’s longing for the sea becomes a low-cost micro-holiday
The campaign framed 浪吧 (Wave Bar) as “在成都看海” (seeing the sea in Chengdu): real, touchable sand paired with immersive digital waves, packaged as a city micro-holiday. Launch notes ran from 13 to 26 August 2024, mixing photo-led guides and visit vlogs under “来看海来浪吧” (come see the sea and ride the waves) and “暑假去哪浪” (where to have fun this summer holiday), with video accounting for 38% of posts.
The audience was young urban women in Chengdu seeking relaxed, photogenic weekends, while content widened the use cases to couple dates, outings with friends and parent-child visits. Entry to 浪吧 (Wave Bar) was free; buying a drink in the venue unlocked the sand area for play and photos. The repeated “一杯饮品即可看海” (see the sea for the price of one drink) anchor made the visit feel affordable, while the call to action pointed offline and practical address and opening-hours details reduced friction.

The first step to copy

Start with a geographic tension
Build the hook around a local unmet desire: Chengdu is inland, so “在成都看海” (seeing the sea in Chengdu) creates an immediate contrast. Carry that contrast into the sensory proof—real sand visitors can touch and immersive digital waves—instead of leading with a generic venue introduction.
