Shanghai is light on artistic focus, which makes this new art centre doubly welcome. It's a collection - 'community' even - of art galleries, cafes and shops hidden down an alley. An adjacent multistorey warehouse hides a handful of design studios, media companies and home decor boutiques, many of which front the small alley on the east side of the building.

Shanghai Grand Theatre
Constructed in 1998, under the guidance of Frenchman Jean-Marie Charpentier, the Grand Theatre has already established itself as a key Shanghai landmark. Sink into a plush red seat for world-class performances ranging from operas both Chinese and western, ballets, symphonies and chamber music to musicals and spoken dramas on one of the largest and best-equipped stages in the world. The futuristic structure comes into its own at nighttime, when lights glowing from within transform it into a crystal palace.
