A cafe sprang up on campus

"give me a glass of Canglang Pavilion milk lid." Since the beginning of the new semester, Xiao Sun, a senior girl from Nanyi, has visited Nanyi afternoon Tea for the third time to buy a drink. "the environment here is fresh, and the price is not high, and she can sit down and pick souvenirs."

"here, you can drink coffee and read a book, and you can have a chat and have a breeze." On the Nanyi campus, a cafe named Nanyi afternoon Tea suddenly appeared on August 28. It is located between the dormitory for foreign students and the dormitory for girls on the east side of the campus. This used to be an open space with an area of about 300 square meters. But now, both sides of the path are covered with eight huge white umbrellas. Teachers and students of Nanyi are drinking coffee and tea under the umbrella, while the stars and colorful plums are competing behind them.

Cafes are very popular.

Yesterday, when the modern KuaiBao reporter came here, the cafe at the end of the path was full of people. What is different is that the cafe is made of strange materials and is transformed from three containers with an area of about 60 square meters. Facing the side of the campus, is a whole side of floor-to-ceiling glass, clean white with transparent glass, fresh and bright.

In addition to selling drinks, a variety of campus cultural and creative products are also put on sale, many of which are graduation works of Nanyi students, such as erasers in the shape of cucumbers and sushi, T-shirts and pencils printed with Nanyi patterns.

On the second floor of the cafe, there are more literary style, umbrellas, leisure chairs, coupled with hoisting flowers and plants to capture all the surrounding scenery, and there is a closed space next door, which makes a small book bar and takes peace in the midst of trouble.

More than half a month after opening, the turnover of "Nanyi afternoon Tea" has reached about 70,000 yuan.

The post-90s designer completed the transformation in 32 days

"this idea was originally put forward by President Liu Weidong," said Rong Weijun, president of the Nanyi Art and Design Institute. This summer, Rong Weijun took 12 young designers from the Art and Design Institute to design cafes. "at first, we went to the creative and cultural neighborhoods of Shanghai and Taiwan to learn from them." Wang Jing, assistant dean of Nanyi Art and Design Institute, said.

The 12 designers, most of whom are post-90s, created this campus creative work in just 32 days.
