See Zhe’s tips of the must-see places in his hometown below.
Power Station of Art
“There is a contemporary art museum in Shanghai called the Power Station of Art. I visit every one of its exhibitions because I think it's an awesome contemporary art museum. The building and venue are outstanding; I like them very much.”
1933 Old Millfun
“1933 Old Millfun is an old building in Shanghai that was originally a slaughterhouse. Its architectural design and functionality make it a very special place and I think it's really impressive.”
Anxi Second-hand Market
“This second-hand market is quite different. A lot of locals in Shanghai buy their clothes second-hand, but not the kind that we think are cool; they buy really old, used clothes. Besides clothes, you'll also find many other interesting things for daily use. So I think that it's a symbol of old Shanghai.”
