EKA, which stands for Exploration Knowledge Aesthetics, is billing itself as a creative park and community hub for "change makers" – so it has loftier ambitions than being just another F&B hub or pedestrian shopping plaza. They have a rotating schedule of cultural events, such as film screenings, art exhibitions, and EKA Market events. It feels a bit like Beijing's 798, mixed with one part Xintiandi, and one part funky architecture park.
