About this place
The former site of a massive state-owned special steel plant, now converted into 1938 Special Steel Creative Park — the original blast furnaces and red brick factory buildings preserved as the architectural backdrop for coffee shops, galleries and bookstores.
Drifter says
"This isn't a ruin anymore, and if you go expecting urban exploration you'll be disappointed. What's worth coming for is the scale of the industrial architecture around the commercial tenants — the preserved blast furnaces and factory structures dwarf everything built inside them. Take Metro Line 1 to Shuangbei Station and walk. Give yourself an afternoon."
