Gateway to Greatness!

Beyond this seemingly simple entrance is a world of wonder! Located in an industrial part of Shanghai, China, 得丘礼享谷文创园 or Deqiu Art District is a must visit. My experience was a complete bomb of cultural, modern, futuristic, and innovative architecture and interactive art. Riddles with interesting and interactive art and an endless array of crevices to explore, this place completely exceeded my trip expectations! It’s no ‘Oriental Pearl Tower’ but it’s definitely a place you’d love especially if you’re interested in art and hole-in-the-wall places. It’s a little far from Suzhou where I reside but I believe it was worth the trip! We also tried a cafe inside which was eccentric! As an architect, the use of materials and interior design was a sight to behold and the tiramisu type dessert and hot chocolate my boyfriend and I tried was delicious! I highly recommend this place! I didn’t want to be a ‘repeat place’ person during this journey of me reigniting my travel and experience passion but I will definitely go back and explore all the nooks and crannies I didn’t get to! 😆My boyfriend and I plan to gatekeep this place from friends till then but if you see this post you’re in luck! #2024mapped #shanghai #art 📍Address: 上海市-闵行区-申富路788号 🕰️Business Hours: 9:30 to 20:00 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: Cafes, Art installations 💰Average Price per Person: Free entry (prices for food vary depending on cafe) 💞Reasons to Recommend: Innovation, Exploration, Aesthetics, Art, Interactive
