1983Creative Town, a dream town.

It has been seven years since the park opened on April 17, 2017.

Walking into the town, it is like coming to a dream world: you can see personalized and fashionable graffiti everywhere, "Chaplin" lying on the roof of the building to probe your brain, a three-story giraffe, a building transformed into "Howl's Moving Castle", Asia's largest bubble tea shop that can accommodate 800 people at the same time, a train-themed Dolby Atmos giant screen cinema, and a youth apartment with bags to move in......

The town is located at the foot of Qiushui Mountain, Nanling Village, Longgang District, Shenzhen, adjacent to Dafen Oil Painting Village, the "First Village of Chinese Oil Painting", covering an area of 120,000 square meters and a construction area of 130,000 square meters.

Few creative parks in the country are of this scale, and its ambitions clearly go beyond being a creative park.

The imprint of the times of Nanling Village, a "national civilized community".

The predecessor of the town was Qiushuishan Jewelry Garden. After careful renovation and years of operation, the old factories have been transformed into a panoramic cultural and creative industry agglomeration area with "humanities + technology" as the core, integrating office, commerce, culture and nature. The rejuvenated town redefines the integration of nature and lifestyle, and is committed to creating a new green life and cultural landmark for the Nanwan area.

Why is it named in 1983? This has a deep relationship with Nanling Village, a "national civilized community", and this year is the year when the Nanling Village Committee was formally established.

Zhang Yubiao, Secretary of the Party Committee of Nanling Village Joint Stock Cooperative Company, once said, "The name 1983 not only represents the inheritance and respect for the Nanling tradition, but also represents our confidence and determination to create a new era of transformation, upgrading and development." ”

The relevant person in charge of the 1983 creative town told reporters that the town adheres to the new era reform concept of "wisdom sharing and industrial regeneration", integrates new formats such as entrepreneurial office space, youth sharing community, smart commercial retail and boutique long-term rental apartments, and is a rare urban innovation complex with landscape and forest resources in Shenzhen.

At present, the town has attracted more than 1,600 enterprises to settle in, and the symbiotic industries with the town cover artificial intelligence, IoT technology, science and technology finance, biomedicine, smart retail, light luxury experience hotels, youth long-term rental apartments, cultural and artistic life and other scientific and ecological sectors. Combined with the town's cultural history and creative arts, in addition to the existing office space and boutique youth apartments, it also introduces an appropriate proportion of cultural creativity and artistic life consumption formats, such as time retro cinema, global specialty coffee bean experience hall, nostalgic car modification shop, time-honored Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, art trendy handicrafts, super IP design, pet paradise and wedding shooting, etc., to strengthen the cultural characteristics of the town.

A dream home for entrepreneurs

I still remember that seven years ago, Lao Congwen, the founder of 1983 Creative Town, told a reporter from Jingbao, "I hope this is a place where young people like to stay, this is not only a comfortable town, but also a place that can help everyone realize their dreams. ”

Now, it lives up to expectations.

Since the launch of the project in 2016, 1983 Creative Town has realized the transformation from an old factory building to an Internet celebrity landmark integrating incubation offices, large-scale exhibitions, leisure and entertainment, sightseeing and tourism, creative experiences and other functions.

Adhering to the original development concept of "sharing the beauty of the city", 1983 Creative Town has formed a "humanistic city complex" business model with stock property operation as the core and 23 key industries such as international youth living community, boutique hotel apartment, artificial intelligence, new energy, cultural creativity, car sharing, catering, and information technology as the main body.

The renovated 1983 Creative Town has been transformed into an "urban utopia", and you will feel like you are in the world of Hayao Miyazaki's comics, and you will feel like you are on an adventure with Alice...... The relevant person in charge of the town told reporters that in recent years, the town has attracted many Internet celebrities to come to check in, and dozens of Internet celebrities come here every day to take pictures and broadcast live, especially at night, and there are more people, and their love for this place is no less than that of the East Gate.

The 1983 Creative Town not only records the footprints of this era, but also allows us to see more possibilities for urban life.

Art and fashion meet here, and creation and leisure meet here. The unique style of creative shops and spacious and bright creative office areas allow the dull pressure of the city to be released here. Inspiration and joyful mood fly freely in the colorful colors and natural and fresh air.

In the morning, wake up here with the forest.

Isolate the noise of the city, listen to the birds and insects, get close to nature, and immediately have the original ecological water-seeking mountain forest landscape.

As night falls, the town becomes more charming. The neon lights are lit up, the figures are shuttling, and the music begins to flow between the fingers, begging for the shadows of the trees under the water and mountains to enjoy a unique urban fireworks. The ideals of leisure tourism, art and humanities, and urban ecology are perfectly integrated here......

In 1983, the creative town became a popular gathering place for more and more young people. Here, you can enjoy food, play, make friends, create, fantasize, and daze...... A variety of functions can be switched freely, and various cultural and artistic activities and fashion parties are staged here in turn, "We hope to create a never-ending creative carnival," said the person in charge of the town.

The person in charge also told reporters that the town also has e-sports halls, gyms and other living and commercial facilities. The park is also equipped with a large number of electric vehicle charging piles and parking spaces, which are convenient for parking anytime and anywhere.

The reporter learned that Shenzhen Metro Line 17, which is expected to open to traffic in four years, will set up a stop in Qiushuishan. At that time, the creative energy of the town will radiate in a more rapid way.
