Industrial style is popular in both the north and south, and bars are opening in chimneys.

It is common for old factory workshops to be converted into trendy and high-end entertainment and cultural venues. In recent years, many industrial facilities have also been converted into leisure and entertainment venues, and this trend seems to be gaining momentum from south to north. Recently in Beijing, I went to a bar called "in chimney," which, as the name suggests, is a bar converted from an abandoned chimney. With the addition of ancillary buildings, the interior is quite spacious. The chimney is located in the center, surrounded by a circle of bars. The chimney is more than 30 meters high, so the bar claims to have the highest wine rack in Asia, about 15 meters high. A mechanical lift is used to retrieve wine from high places. The bar's orange lighting gives a warm feeling. Young men and women sit comfortably, drinking and chatting, in a relaxed and ambiguous atmosphere. Coincidentally, in Xiahe Street, Hangzhou, an oil depot has also been converted into an exhibition hall and bar, giving a refreshing industrial style. Guangdong seems to have borrowed this idea as well. It seems that as long as there is creativity, even the most common buildings in life can be revitalized. Having a drink in a chimney is a rare experience and worth checking out.
