Yuanhe 1916 Creative Park
源和1916
A creative park in a century-old preserved factory that once made candied fruit for the Yuanhe Tang company. Its red-brick factory buildings now house cafés, design shops and exhibitions, making it a good rest stop at the western end of West Street.
Yuanhe 1916 Creative Park lies at the western end of West Street, beside Xinhua Road. It was converted from the old factory of the Yuanhe Tang candied-fruit company, which was founded in 1916. The red-brick factory buildings and chimney have been kept. The park includes cafés, creative shops, a small theatre and exhibition spaces. It is a good place to rest and take photos after strolling West Street. Free entry. A visit takes about 1 hour. Opening hours vary between shops, and it is quieter in the morning.
