老码头创意园

Old Dock (Lao Matou) occupies 505 Zhongshan South Road in Huangpu District, near Fuxing East Road, where the South Bund waterfront, the southern extension of the Bund financial belt and the old town's Shiliupu district meet, with Yuyuan and BFC to the west and Lujiazui across the Huangpu River to the east. The site was the Shanghai Oil and Fat Factory and, earlier, part of the Shiliupu wharves; the riverside lanes and shikumen terraces still carry traces of the warehouses associated with Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng. The park covers about 16,000 square metres with roughly 20,000 square metres of floor area across several old buildings, interiors at 3 to 3.7 metres clear height. A first conversion began in mid-2007 with space released to tenants, and the park formally opened in 2008, winning that year's top-ten Shanghai creative park award, adding a Shanghai industrial tourism site designation in 2009 and now holding a national AAA rating. A second full renewal started in 2018, taking the shikumen as its basic design vocabulary and extending it typologically, and reopened in April 2019, reweaving urban memory, commercial space and community life. The mix is creative offices, bars, clubs and independent retail, with roof terraces looking over the river. In August 2024 the Shanghai International Cruise Festival's 'Enjoy Huaxia' cruise-themed show was staged here. The park suits brand pop-ups, fashion launches, art exhibitions, dining events and filming, with the waterfront promenade and shikumen lanes giving a continuous indoor-outdoor route; Xiaonanmen station on Line 9 is within walking distance and leasing enquiries go to 021-64398555.
