About this place
A cultural complex housing the Guotai Grand Theatre and Chongqing Art Museum, defined by its interlocking red and black steel beams — a structure locals have nicknamed the 'chopstick building'.
Drifter says
"This building divides opinion in Jiefangbei: some find it an eyesore that overwhelms its surroundings, others consider it the only structure in the district with a genuine point of view. After dark, the red steel against black sky has a raw cinematic force — any angle works. The exterior is publicly accessible at all hours; the gallery and theatre inside require tickets or advance booking."
