YOUNG Art Museum
Address: Lane 900, No. 910, Sanxin North Road
YOUNG Art Museum is a major artistic landmark in Thames Town. With black, white, and red as its main color scheme, it features a fashionable, modern, international, and ecological style, and has been rated as the “Most Beautiful British-style Art Museum in Shanghai.”
The art museum covers an area of 3,000 square meters, with a total of six exhibition halls on the first to third floors, covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters.
The building is surrounded by a sculptural garden of more than 1,000 square meters. The Instagram-worthy staircase made of ship plank material is quite photogenic.
The inspiration comes from the sculpture works of artist Yang Jiayong. The spiral staircase runs through the entire space, integrating the entire building into one, turning the entire art museum into a work of art.
The green trees outside the window contrast with the bright red tones inside, creating a striking contrast that can only be described as stunning.
In addition, there is a creative leisure coffee bar inside the museum, where you can order a drink or coffee if you get tired from browsing.
Opening hours:
Tuesday to Sunday 10:00-16:30 (closed on Mondays)
Zhongshuge Bookstore
Address: Lane 900, No. 930, Sanxin North Road
I believe everyone is familiar with the flagship store of Zhongshuge Bookstore in Thames Town. This is the first store of Zhongshuge, built in 2012, and was named the “Most Beautiful Bookstore” in the same year.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by the unique glass floor filled with books, and the bright, warm-toned steps arranged like piano keys.
Through the forest of knowledge, the curved bookshelves wrap around the entire space. The vibrant children’s book space, set against the colorful small bookshelves, seems to have turned into a maze.
The unique spatial layout, coupled with the strong atmosphere of books, makes reading here a real pleasure.
There is also an art gallery hidden with infinite stars, bringing a different reading experience. The store also offers coffee for you to enjoy.

This is a Chinese-style tea space that is about to become another trendy check-in spot.
The minimalist aesthetic space in the new Chinese style, with a wall cabinet made up of hundreds of tea names, paired with fresh and elegant wooden tables and chairs, accompanied by the aroma of tea, feels amazing.
There are three new ways to enjoy tea here: charcoal-fired tea brewing, purple clay pot tea brewing, and ice drip extraction.
The store has carefully selected 88 types of fine Chinese teas. Tongtian Xiang, Peach Oolong, and Weilu Iced Tea are all super refreshing flavors suitable for summer. If you get tired from browsing, come in and have a sip, and you’ll cool down immediately.

INNS coffee&bar
Address: Lane 900, No. 1049, Sanxin North Road
“Coffee by day, alcohol by night”, the “early coffee, late alcohol” lifestyle of young consumers. The flower staircase from bottom to top, the open terrace scenery at the entrance, every shot you take can be beautifully captured.
The black and white checkered floor tiles, the suspended wine glasses on the ceiling, and the decorations and designs in the details all showcase its unique lifestyle.
The soft music in the store sweeps away the fatigue of the day and takes you into a dazzling night.
Such a treasure trove of a store is simply irresistible!
