Introduction of Wuwei Creative Complex
Shanghai Fifth Chemical Fibre Plant Creative Industry Space (Wuwei Creative Space) was formerly Shanghai Huafeng First Cotton Textile Mill. It was established in 1946 by the Chinese entrepreneur Qiang Xilin. In 1954, it became a public-private partnership, and was passed into state-owned Shanghai Thirty-second Cotton Textile Mill in 1966. In 1971, it started to specialize in the production of chemical fiber and was renamed as Shanghai Fifth Chemical Fibre Plant. Since 2007, the plant area has been transformed into a creative complex. Now, there are nearly 20 studios for artists, architectural designers and photographers, etc.
