Hua Qiao Cheng (which means Overseas Chinese Town or “OCT”, originally developed by a group of Chinese returned from overseas who eventually settled down there) is a well-developed and managed community - a live record showing how this fascinating city evolves.
Under the new social scenario, there is a movement that relatively old buildings and factories can be redeveloped to accommodate creative and design industry. The Creation & Art Park where the Loft Youth Hostel and Loft Modern Art Centre situate, is a classic example aiming to provide an environment for artists and designers all over the world to meet under one roof through which people can inspire each other with a mixture of traditional and modern outlook of China to produce a new vocabulary of design.
The hostel is about 600m from underground Qiao Cheng Dong Stop (Exit A). It lies in a beautiful and lush green setting, adjacent to the modern art centre “LOFT” where exhibitions introducing both local and overseas art creations are held on a regular basis.
The hostel turns a somewhat unattractive workers home into a simple but high quality budget accommodation and meeting place. The idea is to keep element of the original architecture and incorporate them with contemporary style extension. The scale, proportion and proper use of basic materials are all the important elements to show the power of simplicity. By applying a contemporary design ethos to an existing structure, it creates a vision of different stages of the local history.
Our mission is to promote cross-cultural exchange, environmental awareness and social responsibility. We specialize in organizing youth exchange programme which helps young people's horizon and understanding. Our facilitateors are bilingual expatiates with immense international experience in this particular area.
Hostel provides small dormitory, single room, twin room and family room, self-catering kitchen, laundry, Internet access and cafe.
