Snap' Description
Immerse yourself in Xiamen's hipster cultural nexus at Shapowei Art Zone, the birthplace of Xiamen's maritime trade history. Centered around a sheltered ancient fishing boat shelter, Shapowei seamlessly blends authentic maritime heritage with ultra-modern youth culture. Former seafood cold-storage warehouses have been repurposed into dynamic design studios, skate parks, craft breweries, and trendy indie coffee shops. Stroll along the wooden harbor promenade to view traditional wooden fishing vessels moored beneath the sleek modern skyline of the Twin Towers.
