Take a boat trip to see the view of the ancient water city.

📍Boat trips in the ancient water town near Shanghai
📍This activity is a popular activity for tourists. Besides enjoying the beautiful scenery and natural beauty, it also provides a glimpse into the locals' ancient lifestyle.
📍Boat boarding is at the pier, where you must purchase a ticket. The price per trip is 200 yuan (approximately 1,000 baht). Each boat can accommodate up to 6 people.
📍Each boat has one driver on board. The boats are traditional wooden boats. The boats are not very large, but they are comfortable and everyone is provided with life jackets.

The boat trip takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
📍Personal opinion: I felt the boat trip ended relatively quickly for the price. It seems like this activity is especially for tourists, so you might not get to see much of the local life you'd like to see.
📍Pros: You can see the entire ancient town on just one boat trip, while walking around the town can be quite time-consuming and a bit far.
📍Recommendation: Check the weather forecast before your visit and opt for a boat trip in the morning or around 3-4 pm for beautiful light and less heat.
📍Location: Zhujiajiao Ancient Town
