On 1 February 2010, it was announced that Riascos joined Shanghai Shenhua on loan from América de Cali.[2] Riascos made his Chinese Super League debut on 27 March, in a 0–2 away loss to Changsha Ginde.[3] He scored his first goal for Shanghai on his second appearance, in a 2–1 away win over Nanchang Bayi on 3 April.[4] Riascos won the Golden Boot Award after scoring 20 goals in 28 appearances in the 2010 Chinese Super League season.
Duvier was sent out on loan to Mexican Primera División club Puebla on 8 July 2011.[5] Riascos made his debut for Puebla on 23 July 2011 against Atlas coming in as a sub in the second half playing only 22 minutes. Riascos scored his first goal as a starter in minute 21 winning 2–0 in the first half before Pachuca tied the game 2–2. Riascos ended his first season well with 6 goals in 16 games before he was sold to Tijuana.
