A stone's throw away from the Yunhewan Park is the bustling Jiuku Creative Cultural Park, which used to be an area with nine red-bricked warehouses.

Built in the 1970s, the warehouses played an important role in storing grain transported via the Zhong Canal. Decades later, due to China's booming market economy, the nine warehouses gradually fell into disuse and even became garbage dumps, according to Meng Kai, a local publicity official.
