The old factory building in mountain village has been transformed into an "art park". It is the most fashionable graffiti art park renovated from old factories, comparable with the streets of Melbourne. Zi You Ye (自由野) is a place that turns the foul and rotten into the rare and ethereal. In the park, visitors will find graffiti everywhere. On walls, doors, windows, old door planks, etc. masters of graffiti from all over the world have left behind their works. These works are dazzling, novel, colorful and full of strong artistic flavor. Even doors and walls that haven't yet been covered in graffiti were pained colorful colors. Fresh, free from vulgarity, chic, quiet, artistic, the park offers people a comfortable environment where they can continue their pursuit of art in a relaxed way.

Stones of various shapes picked up on the banks of Qiandao Lake, abandoned dustpans collected in the countryside, bamboo and tree branches cut from the hills, old door panels... all have become tools for artists to create artworks. Artists give full play to their imagination and create colorful and dazzling graffiti walls and fantastic artistic installations, which changed the old factory area completely into a lively and interesting art area.

When you are in Zi You Ye, the last thing that you want to miss is the art exhibition center on the second floor which can be accessed by ascending the internet-famous staircase. Colorful drawings hanging on the walls incisively and vividly depicted the culture of Dashu Town, if not Chun’an. In single one painting, the intangible cultural heritage relics have been fully demonstrated, Tiger head-shaped hat, Badu Linen Embroidery, Qingxi Stream Dragon Inkstone, Dashu Bamboo Engraving. There is also the challenging Bamboo Maze where works of famous painters have been hung on the walls made of bamboos, truly worth a visit.
