Ersha Cultural & Creative Park
二砂文化创意园
An industrial heritage park converted from the Second Grinding Wheel Factory, which was built with Soviet aid. Its Bauhaus-style workshops are filled with cafés, bookstores and exhibitions.
The Second Grinding Wheel Factory was one of the 156 key projects of the First Five-Year Plan, and its design came from East Germany. Its workshops show a typical Bauhaus style. After the factory moved out, the old workshops, office building and warehouses were converted into a cultural creative park, keeping the sawtooth roofs and red-brick walls. Inside are art galleries, bookstores, cafés and restaurants. Markets and performances are often held on weekends, and the park is a popular photo spot for young people in Zhengzhou. Entry is free, though some exhibitions charge admission. Take the Metro to Ersha Station, and go in the evening when the light is best.
