Shanghai Oriental Art Center

Located in the administrative and cultural centre of Pudong New Area, Shanghai Oriental Art Center is the east starting point of Shanghai's cultural axis in the new round of cultural layout. Viewed from above, the center looks like five blossoming petals, which constitute respectively the entrance hall, Oriental Performance Hall, Oriental Concert Hall, Exhibition Hall and Oriental Opera Hall. Viewed from afar, the center looks like a butterfly orchid in the shape of a dark green bowl. The ceiling of the center is adorned with more than 880 high-tech inlaid lights, whose colour will change with melodic tunes played inside, presenting a luminous and dynamic view of the center at night (text from Shanghai Cultural Information).
