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

A reminder not to be fooled by appearances. Who knows how I managed to avoid and cut through the crowd mentality with these images. The weekend hill is noisy and overwhelming, filled with various uncles, aunts, grandparents, and children. It's so crowded that even waiting to buy a cup of coffee tests my patience (speaking for myself). There are many elements, many galleries, and many art studios piled up in this creative park. The atmosphere is a mix of good and bad, hard to judge, with many different elements stacked together. The park is quite large. There are restaurants and cafes, but my appetite is not great; it's more like a modern park suitable for the elderly to bring children, with a nice ecology. I have to admit, the quality of the markets held here is always high, with high artistic content like playful gadgets and interstitial illustrations. When it's less crowded, the interstitial cafe with its large terrace is quite suitable for spacing out and daydreaming. So, I'll come again next time. The downside is the location is a bit remote, far from the city center, but it's worth staying for a day before heading back to the city in the evening. The park has all the basic facilities you need: food, drinks, entertainment, photography, and shopping.

In the Deqiu Art Park, there is a very distinctive post office, built in the style of the early 19th century, which gives you a feeling of traveling through time as soon as you enter. Early telephone booths, models of biplane propeller planes swooping down, make your heart beat fast. The postman standing outside the counter is smiling at you, isn't it a surprise? Those early computers catch your eye, and the glass hourglass standing on the counter makes you want to play with it. At the same time, it will arouse your desire to speak your mind to your family or friends far away. Fortunately, the post office has the function of mailing voice postcards to meet your needs. Just write a few words and throw them into the mailbox to fulfill your wish.

Deqiu Art Park is actually a creative park like M50, with merchants and studios, and large venues for corporate units to rent. Although it is opened in the industrial park in Minhang, it was positioned as more western-style at the beginning, with European-style castles, various alternative art display centers, gradually attracting many citizens to check in, especially after being spotted by retired aunts, it is 'surging', the consequences can be imagined to fall into the embarrassment like 'IKEA' and 'high-speed rail VIP room', now Deqiu Park has to come up with a way to control the flow of people by buying tickets. Before implementing the ticket system, a large-scale rectification was also made in the park, making the art atmosphere more intense when people enter the park, so out of curiosity, I chose to go on a cloudy day after the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. As expected, the ticket system blocked the aunts who only took their own photo albums without consumption, and no one would climb and damage the art exhibits in the park. The only thing is that without the 'popularity', I don’t know if it can survive? It is estimated to be a dilemma for the park. Of course, there are two types of tickets. One is 50 yuan, which can be offset against consumption such as coffee and snacks. The 38 yuan is a contribution, which is considered to be a management fee for the park. I believe that after a period of implementation, the park will make some adjustments according to the actual situation. In any case, we hope that it will get better and better. According to the staff, the flow of people on weekends is still good, and the flow of people on holidays is even more. If you want to quietly feel the art atmosphere there, naturally choose to go on the days when all office workers go to work.

Don't want to waste the weekend lying at home, found a nice creative park near home, so I quickly pulled my husband to come, and found out from the comments that this was originally a free park, fortunately the ticket seller said that buying a 50 yuan ticket can be fully deducted from the park's consumption, well, since I'm here, let's see if this 50 yuan can be worth the ticket price~ - ✔️ Vilova Castle: I was initially attracted by this castle in the creative park, the full wall of ivy brings a touch of coolness to the hot summer, up the spiral staircase, take a picture of Miyazaki's summer~ ✔️ Pollyanna Post Office: Twin propeller airplane model, puppet, postcard, typewriter... every detail is very photogenic~ ✔️ Coffee shop: There are two coffee shops in the park, Mantuo Garden Coffee and Between Coffee, because I arrived at Mantuo Garden first, I consumed here, two tickets deducted two drinks, a fried chicken fillet, a piece of cake, and also exchanged for two hours of free parking tickets, the cost performance is still very high, later in the park wandering around, and saw Between Coffee, this coffee shop's decoration layout is more modern, the second floor rooftop also has a mirror garden, also highly recommended~ ✔️ One Degree Time Garden: In the deepest part of the park, few people come here, but it is a great place for shooting, don't miss it if you go~ ✔️ Exhibition: Unfortunately, several exhibition halls just ended the exhibition on July 31, looking forward to the upcoming exhibition~ ✔️ Baking, pottery, ️handmade: Met many people with children to do handmade in the park~ ✔️ Art installation: Art installations can be seen everywhere in the park, a step a scene, must come with a friend who can take pictures~ - 📍 Dequli Xianggu Valley Cultural and Creative Park: No. 788 Shenfu Road, Minhang District, Shanghai 🎫 Tickets: Single ticket 38 yuan, consumption deductible ticket 50 yuan (baking, pottery, handmade, coffee shop can be deducted) 🕐 Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 10:00-20:00 🚗 Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself, the coffee shop has a 2-hour free parking ticket

| Not only taking photos but also watching a healing illustration. Mingwen Art Creative Park has broken the boundaries of art, using the garden as a carrier and art as a medium, showing the art forms and life styles hidden in the 'flowery world'. 🌟 Happened to encounter the Qixi Festival event and the International Illustration Art Season in the park. ✅ Park check-in points: Zhaodao Art Museum ❤ The facade of the art museum is designed by the famous artist Ma Liang, based on the power station, with the meaning of conduction and energy transmission, with insulating porcelain bottles (white material) and galvanized metal as the main materials, cold, restrained, lonely and full of mystery and weirdness, it is the most representative 'architectural telegraph' art installation work in China. ❤ 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' International Illustration Art Exhibition Small Gallery ❤ 'Favorite, let us be together' sadmelon illustration exhibition Lakeside plank road ❤ Natural landscape and art installations are integrated. Eden ❤ It is a symbol of the purest and most beautiful ideal home.

Deqiu Art Park is indeed a place with many fun places to play. There are many types of art hobbies, as well as practical sewing and baking classes. The main target is children, allowing children to grow up healthily between art and practicality without knowing it. In the future, they will subtly integrate art cells into their studies and work, which will definitely be stronger than other children's acceptance ability, and the efficiency of doing things will not be too low. Walking in the art park, there are seemingly casual art installations everywhere, which are actually placed here "casually" after the overall design by the designer, giving you a bit of "telepathic" feeling after contact. Some installations were relatively rough when they did not implement the ticket system. Now that the ticket system is implemented, many art installations have been added after rectification, and the workmanship is relatively fine. Plus, there are no unconscious "aunts" climbing at will, these art installations feel rejuvenated, and they are no longer afraid of being disturbed by the "aunts" who ruin their reputation, and their relative survival period is longer. People will feel much better when they go to visit again.
