Chenghua district, as historical industrial base in Eastern Chengdu, has collected many manufacturing companies. Apparently, CRRC Industrial Estate which provides abundantly distinctive architectures and landscapes is an important component of Cheng Hua District through the last 66 years. Nowadays, with the “Transformation of Chengdu Northern City” being carried out by the government as urban renewal policy, how to preserve and reuse the huge amount of industrial remains instead of simply demolishing these cultural relics has become a significant issue in urban development.
