The Cool Docks

The old wharf is located on the bank of the Huangpu River in Puxi. It is the original "Sixteen Pu Wharf". It is east to Waima Road, west to Zhongshan South Road, north to Maojiayuan Road, and south to Xinquan Road. The Linjiang alleys and old-fashioned Shikumen communities here tell the stories of Shanghai tycoons. After the renovation, the former boiler room, staff bathhouse, and dilapidated factory buildings have now been transformed into characteristic bars, theme restaurants, personalized retail, creative workshops, etc., and have transformed into a fashionable and cutting-edge place on the Shanghai South Bund. The old wharf is currently divided into two areas, the plaza and the creative park. The square is a bit similar to Xintiandi, where foreigners from all over the world can be seen everywhere, but fortunately, the overall layout here is relatively open, and there are not so many tourists in normal times, and it is not so noisy. The old Shanghai style and some modern and unique creative elements make it a place for many fashionable young people to take wedding photos and hold weddings. Creative small landscapes can be seen everywhere in the square, such as stools carved into English letters, red human-shaped sculptures, oversized kettles and wood-carved tea tasting tables. It is worth mentioning that there is a fountain in the middle of the park, the water in the pool can be drained, and the channel in the middle can be used as a runway. There have been many fashion shows here. The part of the creative park introduces creative product workshops, pioneer artist studios, business offices and other elements. At present, many distinctive creative fashion stores and art galleries have been introduced. During the day, the old wharf is relatively quiet and is mostly visited by tourists. You can take pictures in the park, or walk along the railings by the wharf, blow the river breeze, and look at the opposite Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone. If you are tired, you can choose An open-air coffee shop, order a cup of coffee and taste the slow life. Of course, the scenery at night is also not to be missed. At the beginning of the lanterns, you can choose restaurants with terraces such as Mythos and LongHouse, and enjoy the panoramic view of Huangpu River while tasting delicious food. The food here is full of everything, no matter which country it is, it will make you unforgettable after eating it. At night, if you still have energy, you can go to some small bars along the river to experience the nightlife of Shanghai.
