Eastern Suburb Memory
东郊记忆
An industrial-style cultural park converted from an old state-owned electron tube factory. Red-brick workshops, a locomotive and music performances draw young visitors to take photos.
Eastern Suburb Memory is on Jianshe South Branch Road in Chenghua District. It was formerly the industrial plant of the state-owned Hongguang Electronic Tube Factory, built in the 1950s, and was converted into a music and creative cultural park in 2011. The park keeps its red-brick workshops, pipes, chimneys and an old locomotive. It houses a live music venue, exhibition halls, theatres, cafés and bars. Music festivals, markets and drama performances are often held on weekends, making it one of Chengdu's popular spots for industrial-style photos. Admission is free, and performances are charged separately. Eastern Suburb Memory station on Metro Line 8 serves it directly, and it pairs well with the nearby Jianshe Road food street for an itinerary from afternoon into night.
