Overview

A stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of Shanghai, one will find one of the oldest and best-protected water villages in China. Considering being a mere 25 kilometres away from the central business district of this metropole, many are still very much surprised about this hidden secret that is more than 400 years old and makes part of Shanghai’s city borders.

We’re talking about Zhujiajiao: almost-painting-like scenery awaits, depicting meandering canals, small rivers and all created around the large Dian Shan Lake. This suburb of greater Shanghai covers approximate 47 square kilometres with stories, legends and tales that date back 1700 years. Within a full-day, the area known as ‘Pearl Stream’ will brighten up your day from beginning until the very end.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, No.36 Meizhou Road, Qingpu District Zhujiajiao Town, Shanghai 201713 China

Spending a couple of hours may look like a long time but once you get immersed into the local rhythm, time will fly. It is very easy to get lost and blend in with the local community who have been living amidst the hectic of the modern big city to a brand-new world full of antiquity, leisure and tranquillity. It is one of these smaller places within easy reach of Shanghai that will increase your appreciation of ancient Chinese culture and preservation of architectural treasures of old. But it is time to call it a day at the end of the day.

We end our full-day exploration of this charming town by heading back to your booked accommodation in the hustle and bustle of modern Shanghai.
