Harbin Hayao Sixth Factory｜Encounter 17th Century European Romance in the "Eastern Louvre"

Opening the door feels like stepping through a three-hundred-year time corridor.

The moment you enter Hayao Sixth Factory, it feels as if even the air changes frequency. What lies before you is not a pharmaceutical workshop, but a European-style palace comparable to the Louvre in France. This complex, known as the "Eastern Louvre," is modeled after the Paris Louvre and blends the magnificent styles of Classicism, Baroque, and Rococo, instantly transporting you to a 17th-century European court.

A Visual Feast: Time Intertwined Among Carved Beams and Painted Rafters

Looking up, gilded reliefs spiral along Roman columns, and angels on the dome frescoes come alive in the interplay of light and shadow. An 18-meter-long crystal chandelier hangs from above, and when lit, thousands of rays fall like a starry rain.

The pure white marble walls are softly illuminated by sunlight, while 28 pairs of giant statues, each 3.8 meters tall, stand quietly, telling stories of past glory. Every corner and corridor is a perfect frame for photography.

Immersive Experience: Create Memories in an Art Palace

Beyond admiring the architectural beauty, there are various experiences here to leave you with unique memories:

· Print your own woodblock prints of the "Twelve Zodiac Animals" or the "Harbin City Series" at the printmaking experience center and take your art creation home.
· Taste creative fusion cuisine; the Western restaurant’s sauerkraut pizza wonderfully combines Northeast Chinese sauerkraut with mozzarella cheese.
· The themed photo shoot base offers six major scenes including a magical world and Monet’s garden, making your photos full of dreamy colors.
· Purchase museum architecture-shaped creative ice pops to keep this romance on your palate.
