創意文化園內的當代藝術中心隸屬於長久以來享有美譽的“何香凝美術館”。該館是除北京中國美術館之外唯一的國家級美術館，它在國家藝術展覽和藝術項目方面對中國當代藝術一直起著推動和影響作用。有著獨特意義的一點在於致力推動當代藝術普及化，很多大家熟悉的藝術家（Daniel Buren, Philip King, Bernar Vernet, Olafur Elliasson, 顧德新等）的雕塑作品都被永久地陳列於華僑城社區的公共空間。LOFT是一個全新的藝術組合，致力於繪畫、裝置、行為藝術、音樂表演、電影、錄像和多媒體藝術等。它的使命在於支持和發展中國藝術家的前衛藝術實踐，給予國內與國際的藝術家在這個平台上互相進行展示與交流。
旅舍原屬一幢80年代不起眼的民房，改造及擴建為旅舍時為配合該區的藝術發展方向，設計定位以簡潔和致力新舊建築混合帶出一股新品位、新品味的國際氣氛。改建後的主體突出主題“簡樸就是力量”。利用新舊建築的互相呼應和一些故意保留下的原有設計和材料，營造了當地不同時段轉變的透視效果。
旅舍以推動國際文化交流、環保意識和社會責任為目標。它舉辦由海外回歸的專家和義工主持的交流活動，讓青年人拓展視野、認識世界。
英文簡介
A melting pot for artists and designer
Shenzhen is a legend in Chinese recent history. It has changed itself from a small fishing village to a metropolitan city in just over two decades. It is a catchment of all the elites both at home and aboard. It holds certain degree of resemblance to Hong Kong(which is just a stone's throw away) but also differs with its own character in many ways.
Hua Qiao Cheng (which means Overseas Chinese Townor 'OCT' was originally developed by a group of Chinese returned from overseas who eventually settled down there) is a well-developed and managed community - a live record showing how this fascinating city evolves.
Under the new social scenario, there is a movement that relatively old buildings and factories can be redeveloped to accommodate creative and design industry. The Creation & Art Park where the LOFT Youth Hostel and the Contemporary Art Center situate, is a classic example aiming to provide a place for artists and designers all over the world to meet under one roof through which people can inspire each other with a mixture of traditional and modern outlook of China to produce a new vocabulary.
Hua Qiao Cheng is well landscaped within a radius of 3.5 Km, about half of the space is full of trees and scrubs. It is a garden town inside a metropolitan city. Contemporary art centre, art studios, supermarkets, theme parks, mangrove nature reserve, botanic garden, ecological square and Yan Han Shan walking trail are all in the vicinity.
The Youth Hostel turns a somewhat unattractive worker dwellings into a simple but good quality budget accommodation and meeting place. The idea is to keep the original architecture and to incorporate it with contemporary style extension. The scale, proportion and proper use of basic materials are all the important elements to show the power of simplicity. By applying a contemporary design ethos to an existing structure, it creates a vision of different stages of the local history and the transformation of life style during the course of time.
We are a social enterprise: Our mission is to promote cross-culture experience, environmental awareness and social responsibilities. We organize youth exchange programme, which helps to broaden young people's horizon and understanding.
