From August to October, K11 MUSEA ushered in more than 10 premium restaurants, including fine-dining restaurant COBO HOUSE and COUCOU Reserve HotPot, etc.
K11 MUSEA also opened K11 Art & Cultural Centre, a brand new art and cultural space exhibiting signature works of top international artists, such as Yayoi Kusama, KAWS, and Erwin Wurm.

Shanghai K11: Attracts footfall with the rejuvenation of Chinese cultural heritage
In eastern China, Shanghai K11 opened a pop-up store Bishan Crafts Cooperatives, with a collection of local custom and wooden craftworks from various ethnic groups in China. It brought the simple folk culture into the bustling city so that people could enjoy a fresh and quiet atmosphere. The theme of the Bishan Crafts Cooperatives pop-up store was a perfect match with the "The Architecture Festival: The Resurgence of Wooden Architecture" exhibition, and both of them were devoted to rejuvenating traditional Chinese crafts and culture.
Shanghai K11's sales rose by 93% during the Golden Week, 35% of which are contributions from surrounding satellite cities. This fully demonstrates the recovery of the mainland economy along with people's enthusiasm with regard to traditional crafts.
Shenyang K11: "Glowing giant rabbits" draw crowds

During the Golden Week, Shenyang K11 saw a 65% year-on-year growth in sales.
