Once home to old barns and factories built between the 1950s and 1990s, Yunjian Grain Warehouse Cultural and Creative Park has been transformed into a modern cultural landmark in Shanghai's Songjiang district.

Covering an area of 136 mu (9.07 hectares), the cultural and creative park houses more than 60 buildings with a combined floorage of nearly 4 hectares. It was designated as a national 3A-level scenic spot in 2023.

Brimming with cultural and artistic charm, the area hosts a variety of art spaces and artist studios.

A major highlight for visitors are the large graffiti works on the silos of a former flourmill. Entitled "Guardians of the Rice Fields", this art installation features four astronauts walking through the paddy fields, making it a perfect spot for taking photos.

China's largest Rucker Park is also located here. The high-standard basketball arena not only provides training for teenagers, but also hosts all kinds of events like sports competitions, team-building activities, or walk-in games.

Visitors can unwind with a meal at one of the waterfront restaurants or stay overnight at a B&B in the park, which is bordered by two rivers.
