Forget roses and red wine – Paradox might be the sexiest love language

This Qixi Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine's Day, why settle for a dinner date when you can run love through a paradox?

From August 22 to 31, the Paradox Museum Shanghai invites couples to dive into the "Lab of Love Paradoxes" – a delightfully romantic and hilariously mind-bending Qixi-exclusive experience that turns affection into an experiment and chemistry into a challenge.

Grab the Qixi Double Pass to unlock a "Compatibility Challenge Passport," your passport to five wacky zones to test, tease, and possibly tighten your romantic bond.

Blend your faces into one in the surreal Face Synthesizer. Swap perspectives (and sizes) in the "Ames Room." Get dangerously flirty at the "Hannibal Dinner Table." Measure magnetic distance on the "Dragon Throne." And snap a dreamy keepsake at the Cupid's Blessing Polaroid Station.

Enter the blind box lottery for exclusive 3D-printed jewelry cases and other gifts from the "Greek gods of love" by completing all checkpoints.

This year, love needs more than roses – make it weird, scientific, and paradoxically unforgettable.
