The Urban Farm

We recently visited Shanghai's newest mall, K11. 

It's being advertised as an "Art Mall", which means it has various art installations -- anything from murals to sculptures to interactive light displays -- on each floor in between the shops, but for this trip we didn't focus on any of that. We didn't visit a single store either. 


Instead, we enjoyed exploring the "green" concepts they had employed, including a rooftop garden with views of their plant-covered exterior, and the most outrageous, their indoor "urban farm". Yep, herbs, tomatoes, peppers, and even piglets, all growing under some intense lightbulbs.
