Community weekend fair

Jiangning Road Subdistrict held a weekend fair at The New Factories, a creative industry park in Jing’an transformed from old factory workshops.

The fair, held on September 19 and 20, featured jazz performances, sports, reading activities, DIY workshops and charity bazaars.

The New Factories hosts a free exhibition about the site’s history that runs until October 21. It’s a popular destination among local trendsetters with foreign companies making up nearly a third of the industry park’s occupants. A century ago, however, the triangle-shaped site in northwest Jing’an was a densely populated community, dotted with residential buildings, stores, factories and warehouses. Texts, photos and relics such as local maps, biscuit boxes made by local factories and tickets to local theaters are on display.
