OCT Loft

OCT Loft is Shenzhen's premier creative and cultural district, housed in renovated industrial buildings. This artistic hub features galleries, design studios, cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops, representing Shenzhen's transformation from manufacturing center to creative economy leader.

Originally an industrial area, OCT Loft was transformed in the early 2000s into a creative district as part of Shenzhen's urban renewal efforts. The area now serves as a model for China's creative industry development and cultural innovation.
