Located on the west bank of the Pearl River, the original site with four separated brick warehouses built in the 1950s was a significant granary of Guangzhou. As the first stage of the city government's renewal master plan in the area, the key objectives of the adaptive reuse project were to remain its industrial past as a reminder of history, while building a city-planning exhibition hall and civic center that act as a beacon to investors, developers, and citizens, to encourage massive participation in the rebirth of the old district.
