XSWL is now open!

China’s digital age is a vibrant playground where memes, virtual WeChat stickers, puns, and jokes are used to bypass censorship and address politically sensitive topics. To keep up in this rapid-fire environment, phrases are often condensed into acronyms. The Chinese internet slang XSWL, short for “xiào sǐ wǒle” (笑死我了), means “laughing to death.” It echoes the English “LOL” but with a twist; when viewed more literally, it suggests that light-hearted fun might mask darker games at play.

📍 Open: Wednesday-Sunday
⏰ Gallery Hours: 10am-5pm
☕ Teahouse Hours: Dumplings 11am-3.30pm, Tea 10am-5pm
🤑 Entry is free!
