Culture Shanghai

The Inlet

Lane houses, exhibitions and contemporary cultural activity meet in this Hongkou block.

Location
Lane 989, Sichuan North Road, Hongkou

A place worth knowing

The Inlet is a small network of spaces rather than one gallery with a single programme. Check the building and floor for the exhibition or event you plan to see; festival presentations can occupy individual rooms within the restored neighbourhood. Combine a booked visit with a walk through the lanes, while keeping private and commercial areas distinct from public exhibition access.
