The International Stadium, popularly known as the Jiangwan Racecourse (simplified Chinese: 江湾跑马厅; traditional Chinese: 江灣跑馬廳; pinyin: Jiāngwān pǎomǎtīng) or Kiangwan Racecourse, was a horse racing complex located in Shanghai. Established in 1911 as an alternative to the Shanghai Race Club, which did not accept Chinese clientele, the course grew to host more than twenty races a year, as well as a golf course, basketball court, and tennis courts. Beginning in the 1920s, it was taxed, contributing thousands of yuan to the municipal government and stimulating the growth of Jiangwan. The racecourse hosted troops on several occasions, including prisoners taken during the Second Zhili–Fengtian War in 1924 as well as Kuomintang troops during the Northern Expedition. During the Battle of Shanghai in 1937, the Imperial Japanese Army captured the racecourse, which was heavily damaged. The land was subsequently repurposed for agriculture; As of 2000, it is used for housing and industry.
