Meilan Lake is known as "the most beautiful place in North Shanghai". With the new orientation of "Greater Sci-tech Innovation Region at Meilan Lake" in Luodian Town, Baoshan District, Meilan Lake is welcoming new opportunities and profound changes.

On February 14th, "One Step Garden", a lifestyle brand IP, settled at Meilan Lake, becoming another romantic hot spot to take pictures around Meilan Lake after the Readers Bookstore.

Red walls and black tiles, shaded by green trees; Overlooking from the window, one can enjoy the sparkling lake ... This is the scenery of "One Step Garden" (Meilan Lake Store). As a multi-functional space, besides offering coffee, gourmet food and a beautiful view, it is also an art exhibition hall and an urban public area.

The idea of One Step Garden is to coexist with nature. The characteristic buildings and green ecological environment of Meilan Lake Town fit well with this, suitable for creating a natural and green open space. It is understood that art exhibitions, small music appreciation meetings and reading interactions, Children's favorite plant classes, yoga, camping sharing and exchange meetings, weekend fairs, even dog sports games and pet yoga, etc. will be organized here one after another in the future, offering citizens more high-quality cultural services and making outdoor activities such as parent-child amusement, pet walking and tent camping a part of the slow urban life.

On the shores of Meilan Lake, there are many such "elaborative" reconstructions, and "micro-space" is used to create a vibrant and beautiful new urban landscape. This is also the goal and direction of Meilan Lake Town's upcoming development.

Meilan Lake upgraded and reconstructed to create a new urban space

Just like "One Step Garden", which favors the unique atmosphere and surrounding needs of Meilan Lake, Readers Bookstore also became interested in Meilan Lake. In August 2021, Readers Yilin Cultural Space, the third Readers Bookstore in Shanghai, was among the first to settle at Meilan Lake. After its opening and operation, this comprehensive cultural and artistic space integrating culture, art and aesthetic education has become the "literary and artistic space at the doorstep" of the surrounding residents.

Over the past six months, Readers Yilin Cultural Space has held more than 60 cultural activities such as reading clubs, concerts, traditional cultural gatherings and writers' sharing salons, attracting more than 2,000 participants.

Meilan Lake Town, which is located in Meilan Lake Scenic Area and covers an area of 6.8 square kilometers, is entering a comprehensive improvement stage after 20 years of development and construction. At the end of 2021, Meilan Lake Town was listed as a characteristic town by the National Development and Reform Commission, and its transformation and development has entered a new track. In addition to major brands such as Reader Bookstore, One Step Garden and Dayin Bookmall, Shanghai-style culture, parent-child, research, pets, special catering and other brand formats will be introduced here.

"Road +, Park +, Life Circle +" makes Meilan Lake more dynamic and brilliant

With the "northward transformation" of Baoshan, the construction of the main position of sci-tech innovation center has accelerated. Luodian Town has focused on the creation of "Meilan Lake, innovative medicine, ancient town and rural style", and "launching Greater Sci-tech Innovation Region at Meilan Lake with more brand awareness" has been written into the work report of the new government as the main task in the next five years.

The upgrading and transformation of the Meilan Lake area puts the living environment of the masses in the first place. By introducing the promotion function of brands and formats and the sophisticated management concept of "Life Circle +", the area has striven to build itself into a vibrant ecological lake area with water and plants for a high-quality life.

With the new orientation and goal, Luodian Town is building a practical model town of "Northward-Southward Transformation" by creating the trinity of "Life Circle +, Road + and Park +" with sophisticated management. With the greening in the middle of the road as an example, red maple is planted on Meilan Lake Road, and crape myrtle is planted on Fuyuan Road, which is the concrete embodiment of "Road +" of sophisticated management.

In addition, a 300-mu Meilan Central Park will be built to the west of Hutai Road at Meilan Lake this year, forming a "Park +" with the 100-mu Nobel Sci-tech Park in the east.

Through the consolidation of planning and design and sophisticated management as well as the trinity of "Life Circle +, Road + and Park +", the Meilan Lake area will become more heart-warming, stylish and life-enhancing!
