Once the most important base of heavy industry in China, the city of Shenyang is now witnessing scattered industrial relics that have become unique symbols of the history of industrialization. In 2010, China VANKE acquired a rundown military factory - formerly known as the People's Liberation Army No.1102 Factory founded in 1959 during the Great Leap Forward, and initiated a residential complex project. Along with the decisive re-construction of the surrounding areas, they have kept the water tower, and were looking for ways to possibly make the tower serve some sort of public use that will help the community build-up.
