Chen Yi Mayor's Office Theme Exhibition Area Located in the Old Municipal Office Building at No. 215 Middle Jiangxi Road, the building integrates the protection and utilization of red cultural resources with urban renewal, relying on the form of Mayor Chen Yi's office in the Old Municipal Office Building and the space of the red genes of the historical building. The theme exhibition was created by fully displaying in the theme exhibition, and the desks, chairs, bookcases, etc. used by Mayor Chen Yi are presented in their original state, restoring the historical scenes. The exhibition is also based on the combination of display with physical objects, models, digital media, and other means of display, which is the best witness to the history of the Chinese Communists who fought with blood and hardship to liberate, take over, and build up Shanghai. From October 6, 2023, the "Building a People's City - Chen Yi Mayor's Office Theme Exhibition" started its trial operation.
