AlexanderAlexander: wander down here to view the work of Shanghai's young artists, hang out in coffee bars, and buy hot pancakes from the street vendors. Local Shanghai at its best!

Erika B.Erika Beatty: The place I went to, in the park, only had 2 artists on display. I enjoyed their work, but most people seemed to be there for the rooftop patio. Did I miss a whole wing or something?

Elisa A.Elisa Angulo: No free wifi, the ones nearby are difficult to get. Entrance is 50¥ which only worth if you really enjoy modern and Oriental art. Is a pretty short exhibition 1 hour aprox.

NicaNica: As of July 2016 expect installation art not as cool as the images being shown on foursquare. No dot sticker room or infinity room exhibits. Cheap entry fee though!
