When I arrived at the construction site of Lu Silk Garden, I saw that the original walls had been demolished, and rows of zigzag-shaped factory buildings carrying the memories of the times appeared in front of me, complementing the fresh and pleasant “pocket park”. Walking into the Lu Silk Museum in the park, a master worker was standing on the scaffolding, decorating the interior of the venue.
“The focus of the upgrade and renovation of Lu Silk Garden is the internal decoration of the three venues: Lu Silk Museum, Lu Silk Art and Culture Center, and Lu Silk Product Experience Hall. Faced with a short construction period, heavy tasks, and epidemic prevention, The control pressure is high, so we reversed the construction schedule, grasped the progress, refined the plan, carried out scientific construction, and renovated the three venues at the same time to ensure efficient and orderly progress according to the time points and complete the project as scheduled in mid-September.” Operations of Gelier Lu Silk Group Liu Duoxia, head of the department, introduced.
