Shanghai Zhujiajiao Water Village
Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town is located in Qingpu district of Shanghai, with a history of more than 1,700 years. It is the best-preserved among the four ancient towns in Shanghai. The little fan-shaped town is also known as “pearl stream”, endowed with beautiful waterways, ancient bridges built during Ming and Qing Dynasties, and traditional Chinese-style residences.
Zhujiajiao is a nice destination to contrast with high-rise modern Shanghai. Take a sculling boat through the water village in your private tour, get into a brand-new world full of relaxation and peacefulness and forget the bustle and hustle of the modern big city.
Schedule：
On the morning of your tour, your guide will be waiting for you in the lobby at 9:00 AM. It will take 1 hour to transfer you and your guide to Zhujiajiao water town, regarded as the best representative example of Yangtze River Delta lifestyle and architecture.
