Spring Thunder Shipyard Dock

Spring Thunder Shipyard Dock

The Spring Thunder Shipyard Docks are a cultural heritage site protected at the provincial level in Jiangsu Province.

Spring Thunder Shipyard was established in 1954 in Dongting Subdistrict, Xishan District, Wuxi, and was China's first collectively owned commune-industry enterprise. Today, only six connected shipbuilding workshops remain at the site. The shipyard covers an area of approximately 3.5 hectares, with surviving structures including four docks built in the 1950s and two additional docks added in the 1980s.

On December 19, 2011, the People's Government of Jiangsu Province designated it as part of the seventh batch of provincial-level cultural heritage protection units.
