Shi Qu · The Ferry of Suzhou Creek

2024-10-29

From Wuzhen Road Bridge to Chengdu Road Bridge is a great place for riverside living. The fifth warehouse of China Textile Construction Company, built in 1902, is solid and stable. After redevelopment on the original site, it has become a cultural and creative office space that combines dining, entertainment, leisure exhibitions, and innovation incubation. The warehouse at No. 1247 Nan Suzhou River Road, once the second warehouse of the China Commercial Bank, is now combined with art exhibitions, becoming the creative and imaginative Eight Bridge Art Space 1908 Granary.

Departing from the Four Warehouse Wharf and heading north to Changhua Road Wharf, then continuing to the Waitan Yuan Wharf, this is a tour of the highlights of the Suzhou Creek. On the boat, you can enjoy the winding and long Suzhou Creek and admire the Shanghai landmarks along the banks, which have their own unique flavor.
