Plain white walls stand against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, a theater nestles amidst lush foliage, and soft grass carpets the lawn beneath. This idyllic scene is the Xiaotian Tea Workshop on Mashan Mountain in Wuxi City, east China’s Jiangsu Province. Once an abandoned oil depot, it has been transformed into a popular leisure destination, symbolizing the city’s innovative approach to urban renewal.
Wuxi, a city with a rich industrial past, is repurposing its historical industrial sites into vibrant cultural and tourism landmarks. These transformations preserve the city’s industrial heritage while injecting new life and purpose into old structures.
Luke Johnston, a British vlogger and cultural enthusiast, recently visited Wuxi to explore these new landmarks. \
