Hechai 1972: The first domestic cultural and creative park transformed from a prison, enjoy the quiet slow life

I am Guanhai Tingtao tour+ global traveler, please follow me! (Published the 1627th travel shot in 56 countries/regions in 5 continents) "Hechai 1972", is the first cultural industry park transformed from the old prison site in China. It is located at the intersection of Jinzhai Road and Tianlu Road in Hefei. The earliest here was "Hefei Brick and Tile Factory", in 1972 it was transformed into "Hefei Diesel Engine Factory", I guess this is the origin of the name of the cultural and creative park. In 1996, it became "Hefei Prison", and the prison mission ended in 2018. After several years of transformation, it has become the current cultural and creative park. The "Hechai 1972" park retains the architectural features of Hefei's industrial development in the last century. Here, you can truly feel the memory of the historical development of Hefei. The park currently uses the old factory building to transform the exhibition hall, which contains the restored old Hefei scene street and the old Hefei train station. The children ride the small train in the museum to shuttle through the streets, and they have a lot of fun. There are many cafes and literary creation studios in "Hechai 1972", which gives us the enjoyment of quiet slow time and feels a different cultural and artistic atmosphere. It's also great to take pictures and check in here!
