Yangpu Riverside
杨浦滨江
A 5.5-kilometer riverside walkway built on the site of Shanghai's industrial heartland. Century-old factories, shipyards, and the lights of the Yangpu Bridge at night all come together in one view.
The southern section of the Yangpu Riverside stretches about 5.5 kilometers. The area was once Shanghai's modern industrial center and still preserves century-old industrial sites, including the Yangshupu Waterworks, the power plant, the wool and hemp warehouses, and shipyards. After renovation, it has become a riverside public space with an industrial style. It is often called 'the largest surviving riverside industrial belt in the world.' You can cycle or jog along the river, and in the evening you can watch the Yangpu Bridge light up with the Lujiazui skyline across the water. The Power Plant Ruins Park and Green Hill are popular photo spots. The riverside is open to the public free of charge all day. Take Metro Line 12 to International Passenger Terminal Station, Ningguo Road Station, or Yangshupu Road Station, and walk. It can be linked with North Bund for one long riverside route.
