Location & Accessibility

Sifang Contemporary Art Lake District sits in Pukou District, Nanjing, nestled between lush hills and a serene lake. The address is No. 9 Zhenqi Road, Jiangsu Province—a tranquil escape just 30 minutes’ drive from downtown Nanjing. To get there, take Metro Line 10 to “Longhua Lu” station, then transfer to bus 604 or 610. Alternatively, taxis from Xinjiekou (city center) cost around ¥50. If you’re driving, park at the entrance; the area is quiet, so expect minimal traffic noise.

Natural Scenery: Lake & Mountains

The heart of Sifang Contemporary Art Lake District is its namesake lake, surrounded by rolling hills and dense forests. In spring, cherry blossoms frame the water like pink clouds, while autumn paints the trails with golden leaves. Walk along the lake’s edge to spot ducks, herons, and reflections of the art pavilions. Nearby Laoshan National Forest Park adds hiking options, blending nature with culture. The air here feels crisper, perfect for slow strolls or picnics on grassy knolls.

Architectural Wonders: Art Meets Nature

Sifang Contemporary Art Lake District’s buildings are as striking as the exhibits. Designed by architect Kengo Kuma, the structures use recycled materials like old bricks and wood, blending seamlessly with the landscape. The Stone House looks like a giant boulder, while the Church of Light features stained glass that casts colorful shadows on the floor. Don’t miss the Art Park, where sculptures peek from trees, and the Black Box Gallery, a minimalist space for immersive installations. Each building tells a story—literally, as many feature inscriptions about Chinese philosophy.
