In this video, Homeless Pelican takes us on a walking tour of Shanghai's 1000 Trees, an architectural marvel often called China's Sky Garden. He starts by the Suzhou Creek, marveling at the mirror-like wall and the surreal sight of trees growing from concrete columns. The building, designed by British architect Thomas Heatherwick, was inspired by the iconic Huangshan (Yellow Mountains) and aims to create a living, breathing urban space instead of a boring shopping mall. Pelican explores the empty, dystopian-feeling interior, noting the quirky jewelry store with sushi-style earrings, the zero-g bungee attraction, and the toilet with a tree running through it. He discovers the internal watering system for the trees and wonders how they are trimmed. Outside, he visits the adjacent M50 art district, where he meets a local artist who offers him a unique plant-based drink. Pelican also encounters a cat posing as a kung fu fighter and a barber brushing a robot. The second mountain (east mountain) is still under construction, but the first one offers stunning views. He emphasizes that the best perspective is from across the river, where the entire structure looks like a scene from a sci-fi movie. Pelican praises the biophilic design philosophy and the peaceful atmosphere, recommending a visit on weekdays to avoid crowds. The video ends with a heartfelt appreciation for this one-of-a-kind project that blends nature, art, and architecture.
Homeless Pelican takes us to Shanghai's 1000 Trees, a building that feels like a living organism.

Mixing urban design with nature, this place is a jaw-dropping wonder that redefines architecture.
