🌆Shenzhen’s new check-in spot｜A first look at K11 Art Center: an interweaving of coastal art and urban romance💫

#Shenzhen itinerary

Walking into Shenzhen K11 ECOAST Art Center, you will be amazed by the unique architectural lines at first sight - the geometric exterior surface with large glass curtain wall, there is a trance of the artistic temperament of Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District. Although this coastal complex near Shekou is not fully completed, it is foreseen that it will become the focus of Shenzhen's "artistic coastline" in the future✨

📍Check-in highlight analysis

1. Architectural Aesthetics: Containers of Art between Land and Sea

▪️ Interior high ceiling design with natural light, installation art everywhere (current exhibition: Snoopy 65th Anniversary Theme Exhibition 🎨), the "halo installation" suspended in the atrium sprinkled gold spots in the afternoon sun, suitable for shooting light and shadow portraits
▪️ The outfield pro-sea trail leads directly to the coastline of Prince Edward Bay. Luxury cruise ships parked in the distance and the skyline form a cinematic picture. Street artists often play and sing on weekends, creating a lazy and relaxing atmosphere

2. Link Route: A stroll from art to pyrotechnics

Recommended Golden Route "K11→Sea World":
▫️ 15 minutes walk along the waterfront canyon, passing the "Sea World Culture and Arts Center" (works by Master Koolhaas, the rooftop observation deck is open for free)
▫️ Arrive at Sea World in the evening, enjoy the musical fountain show (19:00/20:00 each), sit in the open-air restaurant and order a mojito, watching the neon reflection of the Minghua Wheel on the sea🌉

3. Future Expectations: A New Form of Art Business

It is reported that the main building of K11 will introduce international art exhibitions, independent bookstores and high-end buyer shops. The most anticipated thing at the moment is the "Aerial Observation Gallery" connected to the pier, which is said to be able to directly see the magnificent scene of cargo ships passing through Shenzhen Bay🚢

📸Photo guide

▫️ Portrait recommendation: K11 outfield stairs (with cruise ship as the background, low-angle upward shot shows elegance), indoor spiral staircase (wear plain clothing, using architectural lines to compose)
▫️ Scenic hours: At dusk (18:30-19:15), the exterior walls of K11 will be dyed amber, forming an excellent color temperature contrast with the sea surface gradient blue
▫️ Equipment recommendation: Bring a telephoto lens (compress the sense of space) and a reflector (to supplement the light of the cloudy face)

🚗Transportation Guide

▪️ Metro: Line 2 "Shekou Port" Station Exit C, 8 minutes walk
▪️Driving: Navigate to "K11 ECOAST Parking", currently free parking (after official opening or charged)
▪️Weekend Tips: It is recommended to arrive before 15:00 to avoid the peak crowds and take a photo on the way to Sea World for dinner

"Between art and life, find the breath of the city" - this is probably the philosophy of life on the seaside that K11 wants to convey ~ We look forward to reaping more "art is everyday" surprises here after the opening of the museum✨
