Shekou's Nanhai E-Cool in Shenzhen is a unique and multifunctional creative industry park. Originally built in the early 1980s as a factory for Japan's Sanyo, it was one of the first foreign-funded factories established during China's reform and opening-up period. In 2005, the factory was repurchased and transformed into the current "Nanhai E-Cool." The renovated park retains the rugged and historical charm of the original buildings while incorporating modern design elements to infuse new creative energy. This blend gives the park a distinctive industrial aesthetic that is natural and open. Today, the park hosts over 120 enterprises, forming a diverse ecosystem centered around cultural creativity, modern fashion, creative commerce, entertainment, and dining.

Shenzhen Bookstore Raid Plan No. 10 There is a literary bookstore hidden in Nanhai Yiku. Even on a cloudy day, the light in the store is still very bright. A long cement-gray table runs across the middle, separating books from paintings/cultural and creative products. A few people read and choose books without talking to each other or disturbing each other, which creates a great atmosphere. 💗Reasons to be excited 🔺Books have personality | There are not many books in the store, but the selection is very personal. There are basically no bestsellers to be found, probably because the owner chooses books according to his own preferences. The scope covered is also very broad, from the pre-Qin period to the present, from history and literature to art, from ancient times to the present, spanning politics, economics, history, and philosophy. 🔺There is a reading salon | From time to time, we hold a book reading salon and offline sharing sessions. The book we are reading together now is "The Unlucky Anthropologist" 🔺Thematic exhibitions | At first, I was attracted by the Solitary Island Library and the 103rd anniversary exhibition of Bukowski’s birth at the door, and then I found that they have irregular exhibitions. 🔺High value for money | Coffee 20-30, bagel 14💰 📖 Spiritual Declaration Location: Room 117, Building 5, Nanhai Yiku, Shuiwan Community, Zhaoshang Street, Nanshan District, Shenzhen Opening hours: 11:00-20:00 #深圳书店打卡 #深圳书店Shenzhen reading guide weekend good place #深圳书店 #深圳独立书店 #深圳书店扫扫计划 #深圳小尼书店

Its predecessor was the Sanyo factory area that was involved in the "three-in-one" project in the 1980s. The entire area has six four-story old industrial factories. Since the renovation in 2008, new technologies such as roof greening, vertical greening, and landscape pools have been used to transform the old factory into an ecological cultural and creative space, giving it a new lease of life. Most buildings have shops, cafes and restaurants on the first floor, and offices upstairs. So here you can see shops and restaurants scattered in every building, such as coffee shops, home experience halls, custom clothing stores, second-hand stores, galleries, etc. Almost every store is surrounded by green plants and flowers. The screen full of green catches the eye, and the mood becomes better. #DaytripInShenzhen #ShenzhenAttractions #OverseasTour #WeekendTour #NanhaiYiKu #ShenzhenGoodPlaces #ShenzhenTour #ShenzhenDayTour
