Chengdu has a new way to spend

Chengdu has a new way to spend time! I recently passed by "Dongjiao Memory," a perfect spot for photo opportunities. While retaining the retro feel of an industrial era, it also blends trendy cafes, handcrafted shops, live music venues, and art exhibitions. Whether you're looking for photos, a cup of coffee, or simply soaking up Chengdu's youthful vibe, this spot is sure to satisfy!

🌟 Chengdu - Dongjiao Memory Highlights
Dongjiao Memory is one of Chengdu's hottest new landmarks in recent years. Formerly the Hongguang Electronics Factory, it's now transformed into a vibrant, industrial yet artistic haven, making it a popular hangout for locals and tourists alike. It's a great place to hang out with friends, with numerous cafes, cultural and creative exhibitions, and even live music and art fairs. The atmosphere is incredibly chill!

📍Chengdu Dongjiao Memory - A Complete Guide
No. 4, Middle Jianshe South Road, Chenghua District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China (near the Chengdu Industrial Museum)
Open 24/7, whether you're taking photos in the morning or strolling around in the evening, it's a truly charming place!

Recommended must-see spots:

1. Distinctive Red Brick Walls and Old Factory Buildings
The old factory buildings have a strikingly vintage feel, featuring metal structures and vintage window frames. Every corridor exudes a "blockbuster" vibe, and every corner is an Instagram-worthy photo-op.

2. Cafe/Creative Market
I recommend stopping by one of these atmospheric cafes, especially in spring and summer with outdoor seating—it's a true picnic spot for Chengdu residents! There's also an occasional cultural market where you can find independently designed handicrafts.

3. Chengdu Industrial Museum
Next door is the Chengdu Industrial Museum. Stop by and experience the industrial memories and evolution of old Chengdu.

4. Livehouse/Photography Exhibition
The evening atmosphere is different, with live music performances at the livehouse. There are also occasional photography exhibitions, art shows, and other art events, perfect for those who enjoy a hipster vibe.

🎈 Tips and Reflections:
Dongjiao Memory is truly a hidden gem in Chengdu for leisure, photo-ops, and dating. The most noteworthy thing is: this place is truly photogenic; every snap has the quality of a blockbuster film. Weekends often feature small markets and performances, so be sure to check event times in advance! Many cafes and shops have independent designers on-site, and the cultural and creative products are incredibly interesting. I recommend setting aside half a day to explore and enjoy the authentic Chengdu lifestyle without rushing your schedule.

🍜Food Tips:
If you're tired of exploring, try a Chengdu snack bar nearby for a true Sichuan experience. There are many authentic eateries tucked away in the surrounding alleys. I recommend trying tofu pudding, maocai (stir-fried pork belly), or chain hotpot—they're delicious and affordable!

🚇Transportation Tips:
"Eastern Suburbs Memory" is also very conveniently accessible by subway.
Take Line 8 or Line 7 to "Chengdu Eastern Suburbs Memory" Station, then walk for three minutes. Most taxi drivers will know the area.
