SHANGHAI<\/span><\/span>, June 7, 2024<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — On June of early summer, Shanghai\u00a0ROCKBUND presented a comprehensive and diverse cultural program, offering a cherished “Urban Hangout” for the weekends of Shanghai<\/span> residents and tourists on holiday.

A glance at ROCKBUND in Shanghai<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Nowadays in Shanghai<\/span>, young people prefer the smart choice to spend their leisure time by visiting a place within the city that encourages them to explore something fresh with a vibe and without leaving the city. My definition of urban hangout means inspiring New Ways of Seeing, and I am so delighted to have found ROCKBUND in Shanghai<\/span> at the\u00a0Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek converge, where is exactly the origin of the Bund.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

ROCKBUND is a mix of historical and modern buildings with pocket plazas and inner lanes in between, alluring you to explore the art institutions, galleries, cafes, and bars there, which provide you either special offers or drinks claimed to be No.1 in Shanghai<\/span>. Even each of the restaurant at ROCKBUND has its own story, qualifying themselves as destinations on their own. A very romantic moment I’ve encountered there was an evening in this April when my friend and I were walking through the Museum Plaza right after an open speech delivered by a famous photographer. Out of the blue, I heard music coming from two men who were playing the violin and walking around from the lane to the plaza. The crowd was definitely thrilled, and we were fully enlightened! Isn’t this exactly what we expect from traveling? To fall into an unfamiliar space and time. I found this moment at ROCKBUND without taking long flights or journeys, just in Shanghai<\/span>, the city that I’ve been living for years. Amazing, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

Discovering the History in Architecture<\/p>\n

ROCKBUND could be named a design center, as in the 1920s and 1930s, many legendary architects stationed their master pieces here, like Laszlo Hudec<\/span>, Charles Henry Gonda<\/span>, and Poy Gum Lee. Eleven historic buildings, including the Y.W.C.A. Building (Young Women’s<\/span> Christian Association), the Royal Asiatic Society Building, the Somekh Building, the Lyceum Building, and the China Baptist Publication Building, were renovated by David Chipperfield<\/span>, the Pritzker Architecture Prize winner of 2023. It is said that this took him 20 years to complete all the renovation work. A hundred years ago, this area led as the pioneer of publication, arts, and cultural activities in the city, just as ROCKBUND is doing now.<\/p>\n

Public Space<\/p>\n

ROCKBUND is a hidden treasure on the bustling Bund of Shanghai<\/span>. Its public space is carefully designed and open 24 hours for the public, featuring lovely pocket plazas named Museum Plaza, Associate Plaza, and Aharon Plaza<\/span>, connected by inner lanes and staircases where people can sit or recline. It is essential for an urban hangout to have real public spaces that can be enjoyed by any citizen at any time. Here, people can talk with each other and engage in inspiring activities like singing and dancing together, reflecting the vibrant community of creators in Shanghai<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Art Institutions and Galleries<\/p>\n

If you are looking for vibrant events in Shanghai<\/span>, I would like to share my art experiences at ROCKBUND: At the top of my list is Rockbund Art Museum, which stands out among hundreds of art museums in Shanghai<\/span> for its independent research and curation. Its exhibitions always bring me an overwhelming visiting experience because of the artworks and the well-renovated historical buildings. I also recommend the galleries of OTA, Sohe, naive Bookstore, and ROCKBUND Library, which host events and activities you can enjoy on weekends. What impressed me most was the RAM Assembles last year. It was a remarkable cultural festival that received highly positive comments from my friends. The HAO Art Bazaar also left a very nice memory for me.<\/p>\n

Lifestyle at ROCKBUND that Celebrates Your Five Senses<\/p>\n

With immersive art and inspiration, the appeal of ROCKBUND also comes from real life. Most of the stores in ROCKBUND are exclusively designed, either as the first launching store or the flagship store, aiming to be on the cutting edge in Shanghai<\/span>.<\/p>\n

You can see a lot of lifestyle objects beautifully displayed at UNiTN, or go to MOIN, the music studio, to experience professional stereophonic sound. If you like sports, you can join a yoga group or a city ride trip. There are several fragrance stores like To Summer and Aesop, providing both oriental and western scents. Tea at BASAO, coffee at the author’s room of naive Bookstore, desert at TANG SUO, and dinner at La bourriche133 or Rongji 95, will comfort your body and mind.<\/p>\n

The historical buildings and lanes, the public pocket plazas, various optional activities, as well as the celebration of our real life, all contribute to a place where you can escape daily life without leaving the city, whether for a weekend for the locals, or a half-day trip for tourists. Through the ROCKBUND’s official WeChat account, I’ve discovered some interesting events in Shanghai<\/span> at ROCKBUND for you, and of course, you can also share what you have found at ROCKBUND:<\/p>\n
