The Children's Art Theater of the China Welfare Institute, China's first dedicated children's theater, has removed its street-facing walls, opening up the space to the public and creating a more welcoming, accessible environment.
A newly redesigned plaza with lush green spaces now connects the theater to the surrounding city, emphasizing its role as a cultural hub for children.
The change is part of the launch of the "Jing'an International Children's Theater Block," a cultural initiative aimed at turning the area into a lively destination for young audiences, where kids can watch live rehearsals, explore immersive exhibits, and take part in interactive shows.
