A model of modern urban renewal - Shanghai Tank Art Park

Shanghai Tank Art Park (also known as Tank Art Center), located at 2380 Longteng Avenue, Xuhui District, Shanghai, is situated in the core location of Xuhui Riverside, facing the Huangpu River to the east. The location of the Tank Art Park is the original site of China's earliest airport - Shanghai Longhua Airport (decommissioned in 1966). After the airport was decommissioned, these tanks specifically for refueling aircraft were completely preserved and transformed. From the ground, these tanks are independent of each other, but entering underground, you can enter any tank through winding passages. Today's Tank Art Park has become an art park integrating tanks, park green spaces, squares, bookstores, education centers, cafes, etc., and has attracted people's attention with its unique charm. It is a new public activity center and internet celebrity check-in place on the west bank of Shanghai, and it is also a new cultural landmark in Shanghai and a hot destination on the world contemporary art map. It can be said that the Tank Art Park, which contains the industrial space of urban memory, is a model of modern urban renewal, and this is also the first case of tank space transformation in the world. 📍Detailed address: 2380 Longteng Avenue, Xuhui District, Shanghai Tank Art Center
