Shanghai's Grand Halls welcomes first batch of public

De Santis Chisholm said she is glad to have the opportunity and privilege to visit the facility, which is one of the few places in Shanghai she had yet to explore before.

"I have seen this building and I have its pictures on my phone. So when I got the opportunity, I was very happy to come in," said she.

Situated at the intersection of the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek, the Grand Halls was put into operation on June 16, 2021. In the past three years, the venue has hosted a number of major events.
