Shanghai is the birthplace of modern Chinese industry, and Yangshupu can be said to be the cradle of modern Chinese industry. Due to its location in the lower reaches of the Huangpu River, a large number of beaches along the river were sold at low prices, and it was connected to the central area of the concession, with convenient transportation. From 1902 to 1937, foreign businesses flocked along Yangshupu Road to establish factories. There are 17 textile factories and 4 metallurgical factories, including Yufeng, Dakang, and Gongda, established by Japanese merchants here; There are three shipyards including British manufacturer Mahler, six textile factories including Yihe, 14 light industry factories including China Soap Company, and two gas plants including Shanghai Gas Plant; Virtue and other merchants also opened 10 factories.
The total length of Yangpu Riverside Line is about 15.5 kilometers. In October 2017, the approximately 2.8-kilometer coastline along the Yangtze River, located west of Yangpu Bridge to Qinhuangdao Road Pier, was connected; On September 28, 2019, the public space 2.7 kilometers east of the Yangpu Binjiang South Bridge was also opened to the general public. As a result, the 5.5 kilometers of the southern section of Yangpu's riverside was fully opened, and the "three lanes" of pedestrian, running, and cycling were simultaneously developed. The "three belts" of industrial heritage exhibition belt, native landscape experience belt, and three interwoven vitality belt were integrated, presenting an internationally first-class waterfront space.
Nowadays, Yangpu Binjiang is gradually transforming from a production shoreline dominated by factory warehouses to a living shoreline, ecological shoreline, and landscape shoreline dominated by parks and green spaces. The former industrial rust belt has become a living showcase belt.
We entered from Pingding Road and started from the Yangshupu Power Plant site. From east to west, we visited the Yangpu Riverside area, which is 5.5 kilometers long, and walked about 4 kilometers. There are many highlights and surprises along the way.
Two hundred meter chimneys (100.65 meters and 89.5 meters) have now become symbols of Yangpu Riverside. The towering chimney of the power plant was once seen as a symbol of entering Shanghai, remaining in the memories of several generations of Shanghainese, and also a witness to the formation of Shanghai's inclusive urban spirit. Now Jiangbao has retained two chimneys and two main buildings of the original power plant.
Yangpupu Power Plant was invested and constructed by British businessmen in 1913. At the beginning, the installed capacity was 10400 kilowatts, and by 1924, the installed capacity had reached 121000 kilowatts, becoming the largest power plant in the Far East at that time. When Shanghai was liberated, Yangshupu Power Plant accounted for 10.7% of the country's electricity generation, supplying nearly 80% of Shanghai's electricity and earning the reputation of being the "cradle of China's power industry". In 1985, the total installed capacity of the power plant reached 264150 kilowatts. In order to make the sky bluer and the water cleaner in Shanghai, and in accordance with the national requirements of "putting pressure on the big and reducing energy consumption and emissions", Yangshupu Power Plant was shut down at the end of December 2010.
Now, a power plant site park has been established here centered around the coal transportation boardwalk along the river.
In order to reveal the positioning of the two transfer buildings near the river bank in the process flow of the coal transportation wharf, a foundation pit was excavated below the demolished buildings to form three ponds for the growth of aquatic plants, forming the basic landscape framework system of the ruins square, and combined with the surrounding area to become a new place for citizens to rest.
The archaeological park has fully preserved a coal transport boardwalk and buildings
The towering chimney of the power plant was once seen as a symbol of entering Shanghai, remaining in the memories of several generations of Shanghainese, and also a witness to the formation of Shanghai's inclusive urban spirit.
The exterior walls of the factory, with exposed steel structures, are mottled and covered in rust, presenting the true color of "century old rust belt, industrial context".
The original No. 3 transfer building of the power plant has now been transformed into a rest station for tourists.
The third floor of the post station is equipped with a suspended steel structure escalator, which is impressive.
The coal transport boardwalk leading to the Huangpu River has now been transformed into a pedestrian boardwalk.
Looking west from the power plant station, the Yangpu Bridge is in the distance. Nearby is the Power Plant Ruins Park.
The power plant ruins park on the east side of the power plant station.
The integration of industrial era architecture and modern architecture
The roof of the resting area at the power plant site is arranged radially by eighteen shell shaped cylindrical buildings, which look like a blooming cornflower when viewed from top to bottom.
The old pipeline stood upright, like a rocket launcher
Linjiang, the two tall suspension towers of the power plant still stand tall.
The heavy tower crane, with the creative support of the famous Swiss artist Ferris Valini, has produced an incredible jumping sensation. The collision of red and blue highlights the crane on the banks of Yangpu River. The orange crane is painted with white stripes, creating a strong contrast with the blue steel stairs, making the colors of the river more colorful and intense. Are three of them French artist Felice? Varini's work "The Diagonal Line of a Crane" runs through three cranes. In seemingly "broken" shapes and lines, when walking to the only point that exists, these lines can be connected, making people suddenly enlightened.
Variani's work 'The Diagonal of a Crane' is also located on the riverbank, which 'crosses' a set of three orange cranes, but many people initially only see the white lines on the cranes and may not even realize that it is a public art piece. Until a specific location was found (which may vary subtly with height), it was suddenly discovered that the three cranes that were originally in three-dimensional space had been transformed into two-dimensional space by the artist's pen, as the "diagonal lines" had changed.
The Gray Warehouse Art Space of Diffuse Exploration
Grey Warehouse Art SpaceThe Grey Warehouse Art Space was originally three dry ash storage tanks located near the river of the power plant. By adding two landscape platforms, the original three independent ash tanks were connected into a unified whole. And by using a hazy interface processing technique, the originally 15 meter high enclosed ash silo was renovated. The usage pattern of the entire space is imagined as a completely common roaming path, winding from the concrete frame at the bottom to the top of the ash silo.
Whampoa cargo hold "by British artist Richard? Created by Richard Wilson, the artist removed 42 and parts from an abandoned sunken ship and installed them on two ends of 21 stacked steel pipes. Initially, the artist planned to create a work based on the waterline of the ship's hull, but after searching for a suitable vessel on Chongming Island, Hengsha Island, and other places, he was unable to find one that met his requirements. Eventually, he found a long abandoned ship docked at a shipyard in Shanghai.
This abandoned ship was designed and manufactured by employees of Shanghai Shipyard in 1975. In 2005, with the relocation of Shanghai Shipyard to Chongming District, this ship was also decommissioned. The rust stains on the ship and the highly dated ship parts fascinated Wilson. 42 pieces of circular or oval parts were cut from the ship, giving new vitality to the former industrial wreckage, which continued to form connections in the Shanghai shipyard where it once belonged, now, and in the future. Wilson presents ships with ships and tells history with history. In his view, this is also one of the duties of artists, "to show the world that ordinary people cannot see, not to force the public to accept anything, just to tell them that there is such a thing." He once introduced this work in an interview.
In the view of Xin Zhifeng, a Chinese representative who was in contact with Wilson, the artist's choice to use abandoned ships from the Huangpu River and materials such as pipelines, which were originally used as transportation media, to complete the work seems to have a subtle resonance with the power plant behind the work. He is accustomed to using a grand narrative scheme to strip people of their perception of commonplace reality by changing the original content or relationships between objects. Presenting ships with ships and understanding history with history.

The sculpture 'Passing Through the Gap of a Light Boat' is a boat shaped architectural sculpture that floats in mid air, creating a contrast between the dynamic and virtual spaces of the busy Huangpu River with boats passing by. The upper part of the work, 'Ship House,' presents a space of contemporary architectural structure, hoping that the audience can use it to reminisce and imagine the buildings on the riverbank in the past.
The middle of the work runs through the "arrow of time", based on the winding shape of the Huangpu River, symbolizing an abstract timeline that connects and narrates the past, present, and future. Author: Xiangyang

This section was originally the site of the 12th Cotton Factory. Shangmian 12th Factory mainly produces khaki cloth and is known as the King of Khaki. Khaki color refers to the color of the earth and the yellow soil. Naming the children's playground after "khaki" and weaving history and the brilliance of children with earthy yellow and red as the basic colors.
Further ahead, at the former gas plant dock, you will discover a renovated "side garden" based on ruins and ruins, with a lightweight and effortless design that feels like a thousand pounds.
Continuing westward, you will pass by cage basketball courts and sand courts. Although the season is not right, facing the white sand, you can still imagine the energetic posture of wheat skinned sand volleyball athletes.
At this point, I may be a bit tired, but looking up, the key point is that the Yangpu Bridge is right ahead. On the right-hand side, the river water brings the river breeze, while on the left-hand side, the industrial heritage buildings are gradually being given new life. There are also some works by artists in this section,.
Before that, there was a White Seven caf é that operated from 10:00-20:00 every day. When Bai Qi is added together, it means "soap". Smart friends must have guessed that this is related to the history of soap factories.
The former site of Shanghai Soap Factory, with its spatial layout and artistic landscape, is eye-catching to us. Soap Dream Space: Advertising images on the walls showcase various soaps made in Shanghai, reminding us of fleeting memories.
This exhibition experience hall, which was renovated in the production auxiliary area of the original Shanghai Soap Factory, is located south of the Huangpu River and consists of a land landscape and a water dock. I went on Monday and didn't drive or enter.
The west side of the land area was originally a production area and an auxiliary area. The design was based on the original wall foundation, with red brick low walls built to restore the historical spatial pattern and form a semi open and semi closed courtyard; At the same time, floating steel walkways are used to connect various places, achieving the effect of changing scenery with each step. The eastern part consists of the original production workshop's medium pressure hydrolysis building and sewage purification tank (regulating tank, grid tank, biological turntable tank, air flotation tank, sodium hypochlorite tank, observation building).
It is decorated with various flowers and plants, colorful and beautiful, like a small garden.
The artist used the concept of "bonsai" and the surrounding environment, history, and culture to construct a contemporary park called "Ruochong Garden". The name of the work is taken from the phrase "Da Ying Ruochong, its use is not limited" in the Tao Te Ching. A set of "abstract realism" landscape systems is composed of collected old door frames, daily objects and waste with history and memory, thousands of household lights, and slightly curved mirror panels.
These seemingly bonsai structures with elements of mountains, architecture, cargo, and ships originate from fragments of old door frames. Like magnets of emptiness. Absorb and map the surrounding scenery and life into it. This is a bridge that connects life, reality, and art with the concept of 'boundarylessness'. This is even more of a 'living' work. Many of the items with life imprints come from surrounding communities and will continue to grow in the future. This is also a versatile garden space where various cultural activities can take place. It is a platform that showcases continuous creativity.
Old door frames, steel, glass, colored mirror panels, concrete, broken ceramic tiles, collected lighting fixtures, daily belongings of residents, old items and waste from factories, etc
This is the site of the former National Cotton Ninth Factory and National Cotton Tenth Factory, but we cannot know the boundary between the two factories. This is still the later 'New Cotton'. Open the QR code provided by Binjiang and read it carefully to understand the historical changes.
Here, a piece of cypress tree leaves turns red
The National Cotton Ninth Factory can be traced back to the Da Chun Cotton Mill founded by Sheng Xuanhuai. In 1908, Mitsui&Co., Ltd., a Japanese company, acquired the Dachun Cotton Mill and established Shanghai Textile Co., Ltd., setting up a factory on Yangshupu Road. In August 1945, the Nationalist government took over the factory and renamed it the 14th Textile Factory, while also taking over the Nissan "Tongxing Second Factory" separated by a wall and renaming it the Shanghai 10th Cotton Textile Factory. In 1949, the Shanghai Military Control Commission took over two factories and renamed them as the Ninth Cotton Mill and the Tenth Cotton Mill. In October 1958, Nine Cotton and Ten Cotton, which were separated by a wall, merged to form the new state-owned Shanghai Ninth Cotton Textile Factory. The new Shanghai Ninth Cotton Factory became a large factory with nearly 10000 employees.
The basic shape of the house is still there, but it is in a state of disrepair. The walls along the river are covered in ivy, with lush branches and leaves.
The warehouse is surrounded by pink, purple, and soft purple grass
Imprint Garden is the original site of the Yangtze River section of National Cotton Ninth Factory. Through historical research, the texture and spatial pattern of the factory site have been reconstructed, preserving two existing factories with unique historical styles. The distinctive features of warehouses, workshops, and other building ruins in the original factory area have been selected and transformed into themed imprint gardens and other scenic spots rich in contemporary experiential atmosphere. The imprint garden is carved in the newly developed site according to the outline of the original factory warehouse site, either by the river or embedded in green space.

In an industrial style building called "Weiting" on the mountain, the "Weiting" used to be a gatehouse for waterway logistics, but now it has been transformed into a resting place for tourists. Not far away, there is a building with a similar style and size called "Value Pavilion", which is a public space transformed from the original environmental logistics duty room. However, the difference is that the "Value Pavilion" houses the public artwork "Mountain".
The predecessor of Shanghai Power Station Auxiliary Machinery Factory was the Yangshupu Factory of American company Shenchang Yanghang, founded in 1921. The founder of Shenchang Yanghang's China branch is Danish man Mayer. The workshop in the West Factory has a hyperbolic arch without beams, leaving a time scale around 1960. At that time, the country was hit by natural disasters and resources were scarce. In order to save raw materials, the East China Architectural Design and Research Institute used the "beamless" design
No. 1900 Yangshupu Road, the original site was a workshop in the west factory of the power station auxiliary equipment factory. Retain the entire steel roof truss of the original workshop building to create a transparent landscape structure both inside and outside. This became the current Bridge Park Station.
The "Green Hill" is a transformation of the original tobacco warehouse. The original tobacco warehouse had a huge volume, occupying a 60 meter wide and 250 meter long area along the river, which not only visually blocked the connection between the city and the riverside, but also blocked the passage of planned new roads in this area. The fate of the old warehouse being demolished seems difficult to reverse. However, the designer balanced the advantages and disadvantages of the original tobacco warehouse building demolition, tried land integration, and coordinated the connection between the riverside open space and the urban hinterland, achieving an inclusive and composite urban complex that integrates municipal transportation, parks and green spaces, and public services.
This is not only the best vantage point for photography enthusiasts to check in and take photos. Moreover, the circular composition of the atrium and the unique perspective of the rotating long staircase in the building attract the attention of visitors. Yangpu Riverside's' Green Hill 'has become a popular landmark on the riverside internet.
Climbing up the stairs along the open-air escalator leads to the Green Hill. The exposed reinforced concrete frame shrinks layer by layer from the second floor to form a layered terrace. There is a spiral escalator in the center that connects the exhibition halls on each floor and leads directly to the rooftop garden. Standing in the rooftop garden, gazing at Yangpu Bridge and the surrounding scenery from afar

A large Shanghai Oriental "Fisherman's Wharf" that integrates culture, exhibitions, entertainment, leisure, and commercial services will stretch across the approximately 700 meter long riverside Yangpu. The construction of the "Fisherman's Wharf" not only creates the maximum view of the river scenery, but also adds a new beautiful scenery to the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Pujiang River. It will carefully create this iconic urban waterfront and historical and cultural area in Shanghai, making it a new pearl on both sides of the Pujiang River, and creating a good demonstration and radiation effect for the construction of the more than ten kilometer long Huangpu River coastline in Yangpu District. Fisherman's Wharf "is a symbol of the rise of Yangpu Riverside

And artist Yusuke Asai's work "Wildness of the City" has also become a unique scenery along the riverside.
The artwork "Wildness of the City" by Japanese artist Yusuke Asai is a large-scale work that has been "heat dyed" on the ground. The artist first uses a marker pen to draw various images of plants, animals, etc. on tape, and then uses white line materials similar to drawing zebra crossings to engrave the painting in a tattoo like shape on the site.
From the perspective of birds, this artwork painted on the banks of Yangpu River is actually two huge animals. But as humans, we can only see small flowers, trees, birds, reptiles, and so on nested within the bodies of large animals from a microscopic perspective, like tiny yet undeniable creatures that make up the natural world, and explore the way nature exists in cities through this approach.
Yusuke Asai spent more than a month painting on the riverside in Shanghai during the summer. However, unlike works independently completed by artists, "Wild City" is the most widely participated work by the public. During the creation period, the riverside where this work is located has already been opened, so many nearby residents take their children for a walk and participate in the creation. They draw some patterns on paper, and the artists then "heat dye" them to different positions according to their own layout. According to Wang Bin, many surrounding residents left their own designs here at that time, and occasionally proudly told their friends which "little component" came from their own hands. Perhaps they have thought in the past that they would participate in the creation of artists and permanently preserve it in the place where they live.

The massive structure located within it - an 80000 ton silo, once bearing the gilded title of "Asia's largest capacity bulk grain silo", is now a cultural relic protection building and an important industrial heritage in Shanghai.
80000 ton silo art centerLooking away from afar, the 80000 ton grain silo exudes a crude atmosphere that contrasts sharply with the modernity of Shanghai. 30 large tube groups with a length of 140 meters and a height of 48 meters form a continuous and thick facade, exuding a majestic aura. From a distance, the old and lonely warehouse stands silently by the river, lost in its former glory, but now enriched with the accumulation and vicissitudes of history.
80000 ton silo art centerThe 80000 ton cylinder was built in 1995 and designed by the Shanghai Civil Design Institute at that time. Two connected tall cylindrical buildings - grain silos with capacities of 80000 tons and 40000 tons respectively - stand by the river, serving the important goods of rice and sugar that are crucial to the lives of Shanghai citizens. (A 40000 ton silo was built in 1975)
80000 ton silo art center, British owned Xinyihe Cotton MillNo. 1056 Yangshupu Road. In 1915, Jardine Matheson founded the "British owned New Jardine Matheson Cotton Mill" in Shanghai, which was the earliest cotton mill opened by foreign merchants in Shanghai after its opening as a port. Later, it transformed into Shanghai's first woolen strip factory.
This old-fashioned small western-style building is located next to the Rainwater Park by the river. It is a two-story brick and wood structure British country style villa built in 1918. Its predecessor was the "Yangshupu Cotton Mill Big Class Residence", which was originally the residence of a British boss. This nearly century old mansion witnesses the rise and fall of Yangpu's century old industry
The original Yihe Cotton Mill is located in an area where there are hardly any traces of the factory buildings, only the remaining low walls that seem to be the old gate and groups of large spinning landscape sculptures.
On the inner side of the boardwalk along the river, when you reach a small gentle slope, you can see a pool of water in the low-lying area below the slope,
A "nine curved bridge" made of steel pipes and grid plates winds through the water pool, with tall water spruce trees planted beside it. Behind the water spruce trees, hidden under tall camphor trees and dense bamboo forests, is a three story small western-style house.

Yangshupu Water PlantGo all the way to No. 830 Yangshupu Road, the first modern water plant in China - Yangshupu Water Plant. Built in 1883, it is the earliest and largest water plant in Shanghai. The British classical castle style architectural complex in the factory area is an excellent modern architectural relic in Shanghai.
In 1880, Shanghai British merchants established Shanghai Water Supply Co., Ltd. in London, England, and the following year built a water plant by the Huangpu River. The water plant is located at 830 Yangshupu Road and was designed by British designer Hart. Construction began in August 1881 and was completed two years later. On June 29, 1883, Li Hongzhang, then the Minister of Commerce of Beiyang Tong, opened the valve and released water, marking the official completion of China's first modern water plant.
Yangshupu Water Plant covers an area of 129000 square meters and is one of the earliest and most productive surface water plants in the national water supply industry. The exterior of the building is in the form of a traditional British castle, with load-bearing walls made of plain brick walls and embedded with red brick waistlines. The surrounding walls are topped with crenellated notches, and the top of the crenellations, window frames, waistlines, etc. are all raised with cement powder. The corners of the walls are in the shape of cement corner stones, resembling a medieval English castle.
In the 1930s, the water plant continued to expand and its land area tripled, becoming the largest water plant in the Far East. The total area of various buildings in the factory is 12800 square meters, with brick and concrete structures and different orientations. These buildings are now well preserved. In 2013, it was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.
After more than 100 years of vicissitudes, Yangshupu Water Plant still bears the responsibility of supplying water to Shanghai citizens, with an annual water supply of over 400 million cubic meters, accounting for about a quarter of Shanghai's total water supply.
Through a 550 meter long wharf, people can stand on the Huangpu River and experience the charm and charm of these century old buildings up close.
Water birds are at ease
The "box pavilion frame view" on the boardwalk is formed by folding the steel structure into a box shaped pavilion, which becomes a sunshade point on the boardwalk. From one side, the riverside scenery can be seen in the frame, and its effect is like a camera "viewfinder".
The process of traveling on the wharf feels like walking on a deck, allowing one to simultaneously experience the scenery of the Huangpu River and the historical style of the water plant.
The iconic building of the water plant is the water tower.
Turn at the main entrance of the water plant on Yangshupu Road. The newly built Water Science and Technology Museum is open every Tuesday, but unfortunately I missed the opportunity to visit
Yangshupu Water Plant has distinctive architectural features and is well protected, which is also rare in China.
The ground is engraved with the past lives of Yihe Textile Factory. Two Yihe yarn factories were both established by British firm Yihe Yang in the past: one is located at 1056 Yangshupu Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai, near Huaide Road, which is the former site of Xinyi He yarn factory (also known as Yangshupu yarn factory, "Shanghai's first woolen strip factory"). The earliest was "British Xinyi He yarn factory" founded by Yihe Yang in 1915 with a fundraising of 1.5 million taels of silver
No. 670 Yangshupu Road, Yihe Cotton Mill (later known as Wumao Factory), was the earliest foreign-funded factory in Shanghai, established by British firm Yihe Trading Company in 1896. The building covers an area of 12700 square meters and has a construction area of 22400 square meters. It mainly consists of factories, air compression stations and warehouses, waste spinning workshops, and large residential buildings. The factory of Yihe Textile Factory is a brick structure house with a corrugated iron sheet serrated roof, composed of a three span herringbone roof combination. The warehouse is a reinforced concrete structure with a serrated roof and long vertical windows arranged on the facade.
In 1896, founded by Jardine Matheson, it was the earliest foreign-funded factory in Shanghai, and the "Lanlong" brand cotton yarn produced by the factory was quite famous at that time. After the British built the Yihe Cotton Mill, they successively established the Yangshupu Cotton Mill and the Public Welfare Cotton Mill. In 1921, the three mills merged to form the Yihe Textile Company, which was later renamed the Shanghai Yuhua Cotton Wool Hemp Textile Factory. In 1964, it was renamed the Shanghai Fifth Wool Textile Factory. The history has gone through 100 years, and around 1996, the largest woolen textile factory in the country went bankrupt. Around 2002, the yarn factory was officially registered as an immovable building in Yangpu District.

You can see a brick red building here, which is the warehouse of the woolen factory.
The warehouse was first built in 1920, formerly known as the German owned Ruiji Trading Company, and later evolved into the Shanghai First Silk Weaving Factory. It was a leading enterprise in the production of real silk and synthetic silk in China at that time, and was transferred to Shanghai Shipyard for use in 2003.
This old building with a history of nearly a hundred years has witnessed countless ups and downs along the Huangpu River. It is currently the largest existing beamless floor warehouse in the Yangpu Riverside area and a witness to the flourishing development of Shanghai's ethnic industry. The Maoma Warehouse is now an exhibition hall, and the exhibition has ended. The epidemic has not yet subsided, and the Maoma Warehouse is closed to thank customers
Shanghai Shipyard Riverside Green SpaceNext to the Maoma warehouse is the former site of Ruirong Shipyard. This building has been successively used by Wanlong Iron Works, Ruirong Shipyard, Yinglian Shipyard, and Shanghai Shipyard Ship Repair Branch, witnessing the development and changes of Shanghai's shipbuilding industry over the past century.

When it comes to century old factories, it is necessary to mention Tianzhang Recording Paper Factory! I have worked in this century old factory for a long time. No. 408 Yangshupu Road
The predecessor of Shanghai Tianzhang Paper Mill, Yangshupu Industrial Belt, originated from the Shanghai Machine Paper Bureau approved by Li Hongzhang in the eighth year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1882). In 1882, Cao Zijun, Zheng Guanying and others raised 155700 taels of silver to establish a Chinese machine paper making enterprise. After submitting the plan to Li Hongzhang, the Minister of Beiyang, for approval, they chose to build the factory at 408 Yangshupu Road in Shanghai, known as Shanghai Machine Paper Bureau, which was the first paper making enterprise established by a Chinese businessman. The main equipment of the enterprise includes a multi cylinder long web paper machine and 8 drying cylinders, which were produced by the Ashford Company in Leicester City, England in 1877. In 1915, Liu Bosen leased the factory and later bought more Baoyuan paper mills. In 1920, he purchased Huazhang Paper Mill from Japanese company Mitsubishi for 820000 taels and named it Baoyuan Paper Mill East Factory. The original Yangshupu Road Factory became Baoyuan Paper Mill West Factory. In 1925, it was renamed Tianzhang Paper Mill Co., Ltd. In 1983, his son Liu Mengjing collaborated with the Japanese and temporarily renamed the "Tianzhang Changji Paper Factory". In 1947, the Nationalist government redeemed the factory. After liberation, it was nationalized and named Tianzhang Paper Mill. In 1981, Tianzhang Paper Mill merged with Shanghai Record Paper Mill and officially established Tianzhang Record Paper Mill. Tianzhang Recording Paper Factory is the first and largest manufacturer of instrument recording paper and electronic printing paper in China.
There is also a Tianzhang Road named Tianzhang Factory in Yangpu Binjiang. The construction workers told us that the factory building will be demolished soon, take another look!
