Shanghai's once thriving shipbuilding industry, dating back to the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911,) has many abandoned yards along the Huangpu River.

With the city government determined to open the "best riverside resources" to its citizens, these industrial heritages have been redeveloped into parks, art stages, museums or sports venues.

As one of the latest projects, the city's first riverside skate park was opened on Saturday night at one of the preserved docks of the Jiangnan Shipyard, opened in 1865.
