China's cultural sector emerges with creativity

The integration of tourism and creative industries can be achieved in many ways, theme parks, art streets and blocks, tourism performance art etc. The 798 Art Zone is a fine example, which has successfully turned vacant factories into a thriving artistic community and can best exemplifies how art, culture, creativity and tourism can be integrated into a travel brand. The shabby streets have been creatively transformed into unique architectural complex, where you can find SOHO style art hubs and a good number of avant-garde art exhibitions.

Another good example is the Thames Town in the Songjiang district of Shanghai. Opened in 2016, the town was built to resemble a quaint British neighborhood, complete with red-brick cottages and chimneys, a chapel, a covered bridge and shuttle buses that resemble steam trains. It is not a simple replica of the Thames riverside, what it aims for is to provide visitors with an authentic British experience in an ecological environment where people, nature and architectures are in a truly harmonious state.
