On June 8th, after more than a year of renovation and renovation, Shanghai Cinema opened to the public. Citizens used to only be able to take photos outside as souvenirs, but now they have finally quenched their thirst and are able to personally explore the truth. In addition to the comprehensive upgrade of film viewing equipment, the architectural design has also been revitalized, attracting people's attention. As a landmark building of the city, Shanghai Cinema is designed and constructed by Shanghai Huajian Engineering Construction Consulting Co., Ltd. of Huajian Group. Looking at the overall plan, what is even more pleasing to people is the open space - the high steps and parking lot at the entrance have disappeared, replaced by flower beds, seats, and public squares - compared to the transition from a light yellow exterior wall and light green font to a completely white appearance.
