The 7,500-ton shikumen architectural complex Huayanli, located within Zhangyuan in Shanghai’s Jing’an district, is returning to its original location. The process involves 432 small walking robots, moving at an average pace of 10 meters per day. Relocation efforts will be completed on June 7.

  • some more context:

    The temporary relocation was initiated to enable the construction of a three-story underground space beneath Zhangyuan, which stands as one of Shanghai’s largest and best-preserved shikumen complexes with a history exceeding 140 years.

    The underground development, covering over 53,000 square meters, will house cultural and commercial spaces, provide over 100 parking spots, and facilitate connections between Metro Lines 2, 12 and 13.
