Shinan is going to be lively again.
Remember last year's summer "limited hit" Oktoberfest in Shinan District? Romantic light and sweet malt reflect each other, and the crowded streets are filled with laughter and a summer carnival song. The second Shangjieli Oktoberfest will make a comeback on July 15, and Shinan District will start a lively beer festival event, led by the brand "The Most Beautiful Bay", adding a cool and hearty malt taste to the hot summer.
Who would have thought that the old town in those years of memory would become synonymous with fashion, trend and avant-garde, just like 20 years ago. And all this is thanks to the urban renewal road gradually promoted by Shinan District.
Old streets are increasingly attracting young people
"At that time, the best of us had simple and brave innocence." There is such a shop in the south of the city, hiding the silhouettes of countless people's youth. The author of the novel, August Chang'an, weaved the "Zhenhua" series of four parts in Qingdao, and also gave book fans a place to find the memories of the protagonists. August Restaurant, a plain-sounding shop, is a veritable "top" on the street.
"We are Geng Yuhuai fans, specially come to check in." Ms. Jiang and her friend, who were taking photos in the August restaurant, told reporters. Walking into the August Restaurant, you will be greeted by the youthful vitality brought by the students of "Zhenhua Middle School". "Many book fans say that they want to come to find 'memories', and even some tourists come to Qingdao just to walk the trajectory of Geng Yuhuai." Wang Xiaohang, the manager of the August restaurant, told reporters. To retain customers, you can't rely on "feelings" alone. Cultural and creative works around "Zhenhua" can be seen everywhere in the store, such as Luo Feng's badge, Yu Yangyang's canvas bag... Let the admiring book fans rejoice. Although the combination of books + catering has become commonplace, August Xiaoguan has broken into the world with the sense of breaking the dimension of fiction and film and television IP into reality, and has driven consumption upgrades by relying on cultural and creative empowerment.
"There are two reasons to move from the original store to the upper street." Wang Xiaohang said, "First of all, the fashionable and avant-garde neighborhood culture on the street attracted us. Secondly, we see the transformation and development of the old city in our eyes, and we have confidence. ”
It is no longer surprising that new business consumption scenes such as August restaurants are on the streets. The accelerated revitalization of the old city is an important part of urban renewal. The historic urban area is once again prosperous, and new ideas and new scenes enhance the consumption experience and stimulate the vitality of consumption. The old town of the past has now achieved a "gorgeous turnaround" and regained its new strength.

Revitalize the resources of commercial buildings in urban areas
In the early spring of this year, the construction site of the Shipping Trade Finance Headquarters Building project located at No. 1 Nanjing Road, Shinan District, Qingdao, was a busy scene, and construction workers were stepping up the construction of foundation pit support. The project will add nearly 50,000 square meters of high-end business office space to Hong Kong Middle Road, which is of great significance to the development of the building economy in Shinan District. Walking on Hong Kong Middle Road, high-rise buildings stand side by side, and innovation and entrepreneurship during the day complement the traffic at night, showing the potential and vitality of the economic development of Shinan District.
Shinan District is the first area in the province to develop the building economy, but with the changes of the times, the urban area has less and less space for development, and the existing buildings are gradually aging, showing problems such as aging hardware, scattered property rights, and inefficient operation services.
In the face of development blockages, Shinan District combined urban renewal and urban construction for three years, and made great efforts to implement the renovation and upgrading of old commercial buildings and idle factory buildings in accordance with the principle of improving the east and promoting classification in the west, and a number of old buildings regained vitality from the inside out.
In the west, Qingdao Haiming Urban Development Co., Ltd., a state-owned platform company in the district, invested 280 million yuan to acquire the commercial part of Parkson Building on Zhongshan Road, and then the country's first 10,000-level brightness and the largest energy-saving and low-carbon glasses-free 3D large-scale screen in the north made its cool appearance, making it a very popular Internet celebrity check-in place. No. 109 Yan'an Third Road is the factory building of the former Qingdao Haishan Garment Factory, which has now become Huatong Zhonglian Yunxin Industrial Park, and the occupancy rate has reached 80%. In the east, the former Wealth Center (Q1) project, which has been stagnant for nine years, will be renovated into a foreign-related legal center, which will be built into the first foreign-related legal agglomeration area in Shandong Province; The two major parks of Qingdao Software Park and Animation Game Industrial Park will also be built into Qingdao Digital Economy and "Metaverse" Industrial Innovation Park respectively through tens of millions of investment enhancements.
Revitalizing the resources of old commercial buildings is a key measure for Shinan District to break through the constraints of development space and optimize and improve the business environment. Whether it is the three-year action of urban renewal and urban construction, or the new development requirements of "improving quality and efficiency in the west and improving the east", it provides new opportunities for Shinan District to stimulate the new vitality of the building economy, and also makes more and more enterprises pay attention to Shinan, a fertile land that is both traditional and modern, connotative and dynamic.
Put people's livelihood issues first
The renovated old residential area is "graceful", the parking lot shaped by the revitalization stock takes into account the aesthetics, and the "Huahai City South" that is focused on creating is scattered... Nowadays, "the city is in the scenery, people are in the painting" has become a true portrayal of the happy life of the people in the south of the city.
The renovation of the old residential area in Shinan District involves 96 buildings, more than 4,000 households and more than 248,000 square meters of renovation of the old residential area this year, which is the largest work, the heaviest task and the highest requirement since the street carried out the renovation of the old community in 2020. Through residents' councils and grid joint meetings, the street widely solicits residents' opinions and suggestions, and asks the people about their needs and plans in the planning and design process. It has achieved a survey coverage of more than 95% of the total number of households and 100% of the population category, summarized more than 1,100 opinions and suggestions, and formed "one policy on the first floor" and "one hospital and one plan" for different buildings.
The renovation of old residential areas is a people's livelihood project that benefits the people, adhering to the principle of "illegal construction must be demolished, and chaos must be cured", vigorously promoting the "hard bones", concentrating on tackling tough problems, focusing on dredging and demolishing illegal "blocking points", and solving the "difficult points" of demolition. Since the beginning of this year, more than 600 illegal buildings and more than 1,950 square meters have been demolished, laying a solid foundation for the transformation of old residential areas.
"Our upstairs used to leak, the walls were peeling off, and the basement was raining. Now it is being repaired, and the water leakage problem has been solved first. Grandma Chen, who lives on Shanghang Road, told reporters that her family is an old house, and she didn't know who to look for if she wanted to repair something. Now, the government has come up with a special renovation plan to make their old houses "younger".
In fact, such "changing" scenes can be seen everywhere in Shinan District. To aim at the requirements of urban renewal in the eyes of the people, solving the problems of life for the people is the top priority. Parking difficulties and broken roads have always been pain points in Shinan District.

Old neighborhoods are being remodeled, and the progress bar on the road to urban renewal is "growing forward". Shinan District has put into effect a series of heart-warming livelihood projects, turned one wish list after another into a realistic scene, continued to improve the well-being of the people, and painted a warm vision of people's livelihood with practical work.
