Qijiang Park
岐江公园
An industrial heritage park converted from the former Yuezhong Shipyard. It retains the dry docks, rail tracks, and gantry cranes, and is a landmark example of Chinese landscape design.
Qijiang Park is located on the west bank of the Qijiang River in Shiqi urban area. It was redesigned by a team led by Yu Kongjian on the former site of the Yuezhong Shipyard. It opened in 2001 and received an Honor Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects. It is a classic example of reusing an industrial site in China. The park retains the dry dock, water tower, gantry cranes, rail tracks, and rusty machinery, combined with the red 'Red Box' installation, wetland plants, and boardwalks. It is an excellent place for photos.
Admission is free. Allow about 1 to 1.5 hours. If you arrive in the evening, you can enjoy the night view along the Qijiang River. Walking from here, you can reach Sunwen West Road Pedestrian Street and the Zhongshan Art Museum area.
