[2025 Hangzhou ] Travel Guide for Grand Canal Hanggang Park (Updated Aug)

#discoverchina For any designer, especially those interested in construction, the Grand Canal Steel Park in Hangzhou is an absolute gem! 🏗️ This is my second time visiting, and I can't get enough of the unique atmosphere that construction sites provide. There’s so much to learn from the details of the ongoing work here! 🚧 Key Points to Keep in Mind: The park offers a camping area for those wanting to enjoy the outdoors. 🏕️ It’s still under construction, so not all areas are open. 🛠️ No restaurants or food stalls are available on-site at the moment. 🍽️ There’s currently only one restroom, and it’s a bit tricky to find without clear signage. 🚻 📍 Getting There: Take Metro Line 4 to Wu Jia Jiao Gang Station (吴家角港), then exit at C. It’s about an 8-minute walk from there, and you’ll see the park entrance right away! #thingstodo #travel

I recommend you to go shopping and see the past and present life of Hangzhou Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.

Hangzhou Grand Canal Hanggang Park, referred to as Hanggang Park, is located at the intersection of Lianlu Road and Tianxiang Avenue in Gongshu District, Hangzhou. Hanggang Park was established in 2004, when Hanggang Group built it as a recreational and entertainment spot for the employees of Hanggang Plant and tourists from other places. In the 1950s, the predecessor of Hanggang Park was the first steel plant in Zhejiang Province, which solved the demand contradiction caused by the insufficient steel supply in Zhejiang in the early days of the founding of New China. In the following decades, the steel produced here played an important role in the infrastructure development of Zhejiang and even the whole country. The high-strength cold heading steel and welding materials produced by Hanggang were applied to the Shenzhou 5, Shenzhou 6, and Shenzhou 7 spacecraft. In 2015, Hangzhou Steel Plant was completely shut down and gradually faded out of everyone's sight! With the development of the times, the former steel plant began to "transform and rebirth", and Hangzhou Steel Plant made a gorgeous comeback as the new image of Hangzhou Grand Canal Hanggang Park while retaining most of the original industrial relics. It has become another popular spot for young people along the Grand Canal! Nowadays, the public space part of Hanggang Park has been officially opened, retaining industrial relics such as blast furnaces, silos, and steam locomotives, and integrating ecological green plants, making it a great place for photography. At the same time, the other two blast furnaces of Hangzhou Grand Canal Hanggang Park will also be transformed into trendy art centers.

Industrial relics in the city, flowers blooming on steel💐 I went to check in at the Hangzhou Iron and Steel Heritage Park after hearing the news. It was so shocking‼ ️‼ ️ The remaining industrial facilities of the closed steel plant were redesigned and transformed into a park. As soon as I arrived at the outskirts and saw the huge building, I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. When you walk in, you feel super small. The vibrant flowers in June and the cold steel buildings blend together. Any photo you take will turn out great. I highly recommend it! When you actually go there, you feel that it will soon become a new internet celebrity, and more and more people will check in. There are not many people coming here now, and you can still meet many retired workers from Hangzhou Iron and Steel, who will chat with you enthusiastically and introduce some information about the steel plant. The park covers a very large area. Only the first phase has been completed so far, and there are still some unfinished parts. It feels like it will not be completed in a short time, so it is still a semi-finished product as a whole. Specifically, there is no food or drink, some sections of the road are blocked, half of it is an original construction site and the site of a steel plant, and the other half is a modern park. But it's really nice to take pictures there. I didn't have time to visit some parts this time. I would also like to find time to take pictures of the sunset and night view. Anyway, I will probably come back again in the future. ✨Some small TIPS 🕰️Time: Originally expected to be about 3.4 hours, finally from 2 pm I stayed there until around 7pm to take pictures of the night view. The sunset and night view are really Absolutely no son. 🚘Transportation: Take Metro Line 4 to Wujiajiao Port Exit C, then walk for about 10 minutes. ⚠️Notes: Wear sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and follow the park's instructions. Safety first!
