presented by luo yunxi
look at that huge chimney! my dad lived right under it when he was a kid. every time we pass by, i like to see old things from my parents’ generation. it’s like taking a time machine.
hello everyone, i am royce. now, we are at the power station of art. the chimney is a part of the power station of art! it’s renovated from the former nanshi power plant built in 1897. standing tall by the huangpu river, the 165-meter chimney has become an integral part of shanghai’s world-famous skyline.
but back when my dad was living here, it was foggy all the time, due to the burning coal. to cooperate with the construction of the shanghai world expo 2010 campus, nanshi power plant transformed into china’s first three-star green building: pavilion of future. now the chimney is the world's largest thermometer, as well as the world's highest weather signal tower.
shanghai has always been focusing on creating more resident-friendly environment. as the younger generation, the city’s future is in our hands. let’s study hard to build a better shanghai.
“better city, better life.” i am shanghainese, i love shanghai.
