Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding iBox with additional information or photos.

A complex of brightly colored storage containers transformed into cafes and shops can be found at the heart of Chengdu. The area is a popular haunt among skaters for its skate park, as well as skate-themed shops.

There are a few everyday coffee respites around iBox, along with a few niche style restaurants such as the dog cafe. The iBox area has the feel of shopping through an art exhibit. Don’t be surprised to see people having impromptu photoshoots.
