Hefei's Hechai 1972 Park is located in Baohe District, Hefei City, Anhui Province. Its predecessor was Hefei Prison, and it was later converted into Hefei Diesel Engine Factory. After relocation in 2018, it gradually declined. It was not until 2019 that Hefei City gradually promoted traditional memory and cultural innovation and combined it into the current Hechai 1972 Cultural and Creative Park. The park retains the previous buildings and memories, and injects new life into it with the new generation of cultural creation! There are not only beautiful scenery, but also an exhibition introducing the history of the diesel engine factory at that time and many hipster shops. Recently, there is a special landmark (as shown in the cover photo), which is very suitable for visiting. You can spend the whole day eating and playing!

I honestly wasn’t expecting that much but I was pleasantly surprised by how great this place was! How to get there: I suggest you take a DiDi. The closest subway station is about a 25mins walk away from there. Cost: Free! Attractions: There’s a nice coffee shop, nice architecture, sculptures, street art and there’s even a museum. I was especially surprised by how great the museum was. You get to see the evolution of house appliances and I thought it was very cool! There’s also a great Italian restaurant。 I had the sausage and tomato pasta and my friend had a steak. I thought my pasta was pretty decent and my friend was pretty happy with the steak. Have a great time! #ThisIsChina #hefei #anhui #china

|Hechai 1972 Aesthetics. Hechai 1972 Cultural and Creative Park is a cultural and creative industrial park with art as its core, built on the site of the former Hefei Prison. This place has a rich historical background, having evolved from a kiln, brick and tile factory, diesel engine factory, to a prison. The circular building you see when you enter the park is one of the iconic attractions of the cultural and creative park, called the "Round Fortress". It was originally a watchtower of the prison, and has now been transformed into a cultural and creative store. The fortress and the pool complement each other, making for beautiful photos. The chubby female bowing sculpture is called "THANKS". The plump and full figure and bowing action are derived from the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty, expressing gratitude and a calm and humble heart. The material is stainless steel painting. When you walk into the Hefei Home Appliance Story Museum, there is a street with the style of the Republic of China. There is a small train at the train station 🚉, which can take you around the museum indoors. The exhibition hall consists of the Old Home Appliance Story Museum, Smart Home Appliance Exhibition Hall, Future Home Experience Hall, and Creative Home Appliance Market. It showcases the development history and classic products of Hefei's home appliance industry, from ancient radios, black and white TVs, electric fans to modern smart home appliances, providing a comprehensive understanding of Hefei's glorious history as the capital of home appliances. The Contemporary Art Museum is divided into two halls, A and B. Hall A retains the original architectural style and is called the Great Dome, which was the cylinder casting workshop of the original Hefei Diesel Engine Factory. Hall B was the mold workshop of the original diesel engine factory, called the Small Dome. The workshop's unique architectural style of hyperbolic arch structure beams and mortise and tenon structure dome roof is a reflection of Chinese architectural aesthetics. Various art exhibitions are held in the museum from time to time. We saw the photography exhibition "The Power of Belief", which ends on February 28. The park is suitable for a leisurely stroll, and it's also great for walking dogs. The fried mushrooms at the Chinese Fried Chicken Shop are delicious. The full cup of oranges at Kawangka is delicious.

During a business trip to Hefei, besides checking in at various shopping malls, a local friend recommended a cultural and creative park called 'Hechai 1972', also known as 'Hefei's 798 Art Zone' in the hearts of the local youth. Hechai 1972 is located at the junction of Baohe District, Shushan District, and the new district for government and cultural affairs. It is the first cultural and creative park in the country that has been transformed from an old prison site and officially opened in 2019. The project's predecessor includes the Hefei Brick and Tile Factory, Hefei Diesel Engine Factory, and Hefei Prison. After the relocation of Hefei Prison in 2018, Hefei did not demolish the old factory buildings. Instead, it revitalized them through a combination of 'industrial heritage conservation and cultural creativity rebirth', which has now become an increasingly popular destination for culture, business, and tourism.

Hepai 1972, Hefei's cultural and creative park, is well worth a leisurely stroll and a photo check-in. There is a strong sense of art, literature, and industry here. The whole park is not very large, so it won't be too tiring to walk around. There are too many snack stalls outside the north gate, which affect the city's appearance, and it is suggested that the relevant departments should manage this.
