Memorial Hall, West Lake Museum, and China Academy of Art. In the China Academy of Art, I deeply felt the artistic atmosphere of the Academy.
The third stop is Shanghai.
This is a city that many people have longed for. Its prosperity is called the Venice of the East. Located at the mouth of the Yangtze River in China, it is the largest tourist city in China and a world tourist metropolis, attracting domestic and foreign tourists. It has become my country's largest economic center and a national historical and cultural city. And it is moving towards the goal of building one of the international economic, financial, trade and shipping centers. Like a jewel on the western Pacific coast.
On the first day in Shanghai, we first arrived at the "No. 8 Bridge Art Base", known as the forefront of Chinese art! "No. 8 Bridge" is a cultural and creative gathering area. It has the most fashionable architectural design, industrial style, and fashionable and young staff. It is full of fashionable and creative elements. Who would have thought that this place was originally the old factory building of an abandoned auto parts factory in Shanghai. In recent years, with the large-scale industrial transfer in Shanghai, a large number of old factories and warehouses have become idle in the bustling areas of the city. How to activate these idle assets has become a difficult problem facing decision makers. Through the strategic adjustment of the economic structure, it will become a "research and development device" for the cultural industry and an "incubator" for cultural creativity; at the same time, it will be cultivated into a gathering area for Shanghai's cultural industry and become a wonderful piece of planning for Shanghai's cultural industry.
The "No. 8 Bridge" cultural and creative cluster is the epitome of Shanghai's efforts to cultivate cultural industries based on local conditions. The origin of the name "No. 8 Bridge" is full of creativity. This place is located at No. 8 Jianguo Middle Road, Luwan District, so it was named "No. 8 Bridge". The architectural style of "Bridge No. 8" is also full of creativity. They make use of these large old factories and make simple use of them, connecting and dividing them into workshops of different sizes and shapes through colorful "bridges". However, the biggest innovation of "Bridge No. 8" is that almost all the companies here are engaged in cultural industries full of creativity, innovation and creativity. "Bridge No. 8" has been a magnet for attracting many creative, artistic and fashion companies from home and abroad, including internationally renowned architectural design, fashion design, film and television production, galleries, advertising, public relations, media, top catering and other companies. For these companies, settling here can not only obtain sufficient creative customers, but also enjoy the "tenant exclusive space" tailor-made for them. For example, business centers, staff restaurants, leisure backstreets, sun roofs, etc. provide owners with many interactive spaces, allowing art workers in different fields and various fashion elements to collide with each other, and to stimulate inspiration and creativity. Even the small shops that provide catering services here are full of creativity and are called the "backyard". The style of the "backyard" is just like its name. It is a place with spacious glass windows and bright sunshine, a place filled with beautiful plants, delicious food, fun and leisure. Basking in the afternoon sunshine and sitting on the bamboo cane chairs in the "backyard", you can chat about your mood and stimulate your endless creativity.
"No. 8 Bridge" also provides a sample and reference for large cities to strategically adjust their economic structure according to local conditions. The designer said: "As a high-quality modern park focused on building in Luwan District, the central city of Shanghai, we hope that the construction of the 'No. 8 Bridge' can provide a reference for the central city of Shanghai to realize the leap from traditional industry to modern service industry."
Cultural creativity such as "No. 8 Bridge" can be seen everywhere in Shanghai.
Shanghai Xintiandi is another good example. It is based on the old Shikumen building area, a symbol of Shanghai's modern architecture, and changes the original residential function of Shikumen and innovatively endows it with commercial functions. The combination of the oldest neighborhoods and alleys with modern cultural creativity has made this place a gathering place for young people and emerging fashions, and a gathering area where various cultures merge with each other. Old-fashioned alleys, candlelight dinners, open-air snacks, high-end hotels, There are foreign friends of all skin colors, the style of old Shanghai is vividly visible, and international fashion consumption patterns are everywhere.
At present, it is a popular fashionable leisure, cultural and entertainment center in Shanghai that integrates international-level catering, shopping, performing arts and other functions.
The success of "No. 8 Bridge" and the prosperity of "Xintiandi" are the success of concepts and creativity. If you think about it carefully, it ultimately comes from the materialized power of culture.
After that, we visited the City God Temple and the Shanghai Museum.
The City God Temple. Shanghai's City God's Temple is world-famous. It is adjacent to Yuyuan Garden and is also known as the Old City God's Temple. It is one of the main Taoist temples of the Zhengyi sect of Taoism in Shanghai. The City God's Temple is also known as the Old City God's Temple. Renovation began in 1995 and it has received believers and tourists. The main entrance has four pillars and three doors. There are eight immortals on the cornice archway and a pair of stone lions beside the door. The main hall has green tiles and red eaves, which are majestic and dazzling, and the incense is very prosperous.
The new Shanghai Museum is located in the center of Shanghai, on the south side of People's Square. It is a symbol and window of Shanghai's social civilization and culture, and can be called "a treasure house of the essence of Chinese culture." The Shanghai Museum is a large national-level museum of ancient Chinese art. It was moved to its current location in 1995. Its building has a round shape above and a circle below, which symbolizes the ancient Chinese saying of "a round sky and a round earth". At the same time, the museum looks like an ancient Chinese bronze from a distance. The first floor of the museum is an inverted "T", which mainly exhibits ancient Chinese sculptures and ancient bronzes. The dark green bronze utensils create a rich Shang and Zhou atmosphere, completely reflecting the history of the development of ancient Chinese bronze art; the second floor mainly displays ancient Chinese ceramics, using real cultural relics to tell the story of ancient China's superb pottery technology and Works; the third floor is a square, where Chinese calligraphy, painting and royal seals from past dynasties are on display. The traditional ancient architectural style and elegant scroll atmosphere clearly express the profound and profound ancient Chinese culture; the fourth floor of the museum is circular and mainly exhibits coins from past dynasties, ancient jades, furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and handicrafts of my country's ethnic minorities. It reflects the cultural taste of Shanghai as an international metropolis.
On the morning of the second day in Shanghai, we came to the coveted Oriental Pearl TV Tower.
Shanghai Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower is located at the tip of Lujiazui, Pudong New Area, Shanghai. With its absolute height of 468 meters, it is the tallest tower in Asia and the third tallest in the world. The Oriental Pearl Tower is backed by the brand-new modern buildings in the Lujiazui area, and complements the Bund International Architecture Expo across the river, showing the spectacular scenery of an international metropolis. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is composed of three Optimus pillars with a diameter of 9 meters, a space capsule, an upper sphere, a lower sphere, five small spheres, a tower base and a square. Its internal double-decker elevator that can carry 50 people and its 7-meter-per-second high-speed elevator are currently the only ones in the country. At the same time, the 263-meter-high spherical observation hall is unique and offers an excellent bird's-eye view of Shanghai.
The tour guide took us to the Bund - a section of Huangpu Beach from Baidu Bridge to Jinling East Road. Because it is located outside Shanghai County, it is commonly known as the "Bund". It is the original outline of Shanghai city. It was once called Huangpu Road, Yangzi Road, and Huangputan Road. In 1945, it was renamed Zhongshan East 1st Road. Touring the Huangpu River is an important link. Not only is the Huangpu River the mother river of Shanghai, representing the symbol and epitome of Shanghai, but also the two sides of the Pujiang River gather the essence of Shanghai's urban landscape. The Pujiang tour route starts from the Bund, first goes upstream to the south to Nanpu Bridge, then turns north and crosses the Yangpu Bridge to Wusongkou, and then returns to the Bund from Wusongkou. This is the first bridge across the Huangpu River in Shanghai, the Nanpu Bridge. The total length is 8346 meters. Across the river is the Oriental Pearl TV Tower.
Nanjing Road in Shanghai is the busiest and most prosperous commercial street in Shanghai, and is known as the "No. 1 Commercial Street in China". Nanjing Road starts from the Bund in the east and ends at Yan'an West Road in the west, with a total length of 5.5 kilometers. It is bounded by Tibet Middle Road and can be divided into east and west sections. Today, Nanjing Road, a "ten-mile foreign market", has long become the most prosperous commercial street in Shanghai and even the country.
