LX Factory is a curious mix of artifacts that occasionally border on kitschy yet avoid becoming so by the sincerity and abandon with which they have been put on display. These artifacts become the part of the set itself on which the human drama unfolds: aspirational startups, chefs experimenting with food and other with brews; and the cool-hip, and by now well-advertised vibe brings both the genuine connoisseurs of all things artistic, onlookers, curious folks and yes the archetypal tourists who are after their perfect newest Instagram picture. The result is that people of creative bend create fun and exciting things. There is a market for that, physically in the form of LX Factory itself, and the market in an economic sense, thanks to the hordes of people who flock to this fantastic place. Regardless of their motives, these visitors keep this excellent place bustling and growing.
