Qingdao's Shinan district in Shandong province has been exploring how to make innovative use of its old buildings in recent years.

Relying on the unique environmental advantages of Western-style courtyards in the old town, the district aims to build cultural spaces that shed light on the area's unique architecture.

This year, the first group of 13 high-quality "art courtyards" was officially unveiled. Let's check out some of them!

Located at No 17 Hubei Road, the Qingdao 1907 Movie Museum is a typical German Neo-Renaissance-style building with a perfect blend of classical and modern. Starting in 2022, it has been developing the art courtyard live house music scene, introducing live music performances featuring immersive cultural experiences. [Photo/WeChat account: Shinanly]
