Fengtian Factory | A Hidden Gem Combining Industry and Art

| A hidden gem combining industry and art. Fengtian Factory was formerly the Fengtian Spinning Mill, which was built in 1928 and has a history of over 100 years. It was later renamed Shenyang Metallurgical Machinery Repair Factory. The architecture here is mainly in a retro industrial style, with red bricks and rusty steel giving a mottled sense of time. The park has introduced modern art exhibitions, city libraries, art salons, and more into the original architectural structure. While preserving the historical appearance and industrial heritage, it has also incorporated modern creativity, creating a unique blend of old and new. 📍Location: East of Qigong Ant House, Tiexi District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province.
