The newest edition to Guangzhou's live music scene, T:Union is located within Sculpture Park amidst the park's beautiful natural surroundings. Spread over two stories, the venue occupies a total space of 1600 square metres and boasts a top class sound system and live recording system. With its international standard equipment and generous space, Tutu plans on becoming the main professional exchange platform in south China for artists and musicians, whilst giving Guangzhou music fans the opportunity to enjoy a musical experience akin to large-scale concerts halls.

Expect to see many more top class acts and music events here in the coming months. Look out also for the rotating art exhibits hanging from the walls.
