TESTBED2
A gathering place for artists and creatives in Chongqing.
TESTBED2 is a place full of artistic vibes. Originally the central bank’s printing factory during the Republic of China era, it was later renamed Chongqing Printing No. 2 Factory. In 2016, designers transformed it into a cultural and creative park, making it one of Chongqing’s artistic landmarks.
TESTBED2 retains the architectural style of the original old factory. Its weathered walls and numerous steel staircases create a striking look. Inside, you’ll find art galleries, artists’ studios, designers, and creative restaurants, all with a strong artistic flair. The powerful visual contrast between the old and the modern, along with the blend of industrial and fashionable elements, creates a unique overall aesthetic here.
