Zhujiajiao Ancient Town
A thousand-year-old water town in Jiangnan

The charm of this ancient town is renowned, a perfect depiction of small bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses. Several ancient towns offer picturesque water town scenery. While in Shanghai, consider a day trip to Zhujiajiao. It's the best-preserved water town in Shanghai, easily accessible by subway in less than an hour, making it a worthwhile addition to your Shanghai itinerary!

The town's natural scenery of small bridges and flowing water, along with its authentic Ming and Qing dynasty streets, has attracted numerous film directors. Their graceful charm has been repeatedly captured on screen and television, sometimes resulting in several films being shot simultaneously. Zhujiajiao has become a popular filming location both domestically and internationally, earning it the nickname "Hollywood of Shanghai's Suburbs."

The beauty of the water, the antiquity of the bridges, the uniqueness of the streets, and the exquisiteness of the gardens in the famous town of Zhujiajiao cannot be fully appreciated without experiencing it firsthand. Without walking along the old stone-paved streets, exploring the deep alleys and winding lanes, crossing the arched stone bridges, and riding in a creaking boat, how can one truly experience the feeling of "boats sailing on the water, people wandering in a painting"?
