Sights to see along Suzhou Creek

SUZHOU Creek shaped the history of Shanghai and of Putuo District, through which it runs for 14 kilometers.

It's studded with more than 20 pieces of industrial heritage built by Chinese and foreign capitalists more than a century ago. Old factories and office buildings are being transformed to tell the story of the district.

The aim is to develop a heritage sightseeing route.

In addition to the Yuan Dynasty Water Gate Museum just opened this year, Putuo offers more museums and the public library where visitors can learn about history.

Marked on this map are a few museums and the library. Some museums along Suzhou Creek were built on old factory sites, preserving the architectural heritage and providing a window on Shanghai's industrial period.
