'The Crib' Coming to Chunxiulu in August

Those with a keen eye may have noticed that the Feiteng Yuxiang on Chunxiu Lu has been closed, and emptied out. The huge space, half of which is a 1970s factory and half of which consists of extensions built onto this original framework is currently mid-transformation. Following renovations, Feiteng Yuxiang will officially turn into The Crib, an international and non-traditional food court, aiming to open at the end of August.

Certainly no electricity shortage

The Crib is going to be a sort of incubator and food court, with mostly space for food-related stalls, but also a small amount of retail. We spoke to one of the brains behind the idea, Hsu Li, who you may know from The Smokeyard and FatFace Catering.

We took a tour through the site, and although still mid-construction, the set up is awesome, with nooks and crannies, plenty of space, and brick wall remaining from the original factory layout. There's a total of 1,500 meter squared to work with, Li tells us, and The Crib is aiming for 35 stalls to be dotted throughout the site.
