Shougang Park: A cultural revival of industrial heritage
The former Shougang factory is one of the important symbols of China's industrialization process. With the changes of the times, it has completed a gorgeous transformation from an industrial factory to a cultural park. Shougang Park retains the original industrial buildings such as blast furnaces and water towers, which not only record the development process of Beijing's urban industrialization, but also become the carrier of urban cultural inheritance and innovation.
