OCT Loft

Walk through reused factory buildings now occupied by art spaces, studios and cafés. OCT Loft gives Shenzhen’s creative scene a tangible setting in Nanshan.

OCT Loft

Why go

Old industrial buildings, shaded lanes and changing art spaces show a different side of the city from the polished theme parks nearby. The cultural park includes venues such as OCAT and B10 Live, but the most reliable visit is simply to explore the former factory grounds and see what is open. Its compact lanes suit a flexible afternoon.

What to look for

  • Former factory buildings now house cultural spaces.
  • Studio and gallery entrances line the lanes.
  • Shaded courtyards and cafés break up the compound.

Useful to know

  • Check individual gallery or performance schedules before making one venue the main reason for travel.
  • Walk the lanes first, then choose an exhibition or café that is open.
