Zhujiajiao attractions for visitors

#travelinginchina Here are some shots from my trip to Zhujiajiao. Just a brief train ride from Shanghai, it's a world away. As you arrive, a charming water - town straight out of a Chinese ink - wash painting unfolds. Canals lined with old buildings create a timeless feel. Strolling on cobblestone streets, city noise fades. You can explore shops with handicrafts, taste local snacks like steamed rice cakes, or relax by the canal with tea. Every corner, from ancient bridges to hidden temples, offers a unique taste of old - world China. It's a must - visit for a cultural retreat. #trip #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

Zhujiajiao Ancient Town: Where Tradition Meets Beauty

Kezhi Garden

Kezhi Garden, 课植园, is a haven of peace and tranquility inside Zhujiajiao Old Town. I visited Zhujiajiao on Qingming Festival, and while most of the old town was packed, there were very few people inside the Kezhi Garden. Perhaps the nondescript entrance or the ¥20 admission kept visitors away, but for me it was a highlight of the whole trip. Built by the Ma family and dating in part to the Ming Dynasty, it includes classical gardens and buildings, a two storey library and a small farm, where the patriarch of the family encouraged his progeny to learn farming as well as scholarly activities so they would better understand the world and be able to enjoy the satisfaction of manual labour. The model farm was planted with bright yellow rapeseed and vegetables when I visited. Don't miss this hidden gem when visiting Zhujiajiao. #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer #qingmingtravel #lightthecity #shanghai #garden #springflowers #peaceful #rest #historicallandmarks #classical #architecture

Zhujiajiao Ancient Town

Imagine yourself in the old world of the 江湖, the lakes and rivers, as you stroll along the narrow lanes of Zhujiajiao in western Shanghai, or more authentically, ride a gondola up and down its peaceful water streets. With snack and souvenir shops wherever the eye can see, this is village seems thoroughly transformed into a tourist trap, but look more closely and you can see locals still hang their laundry outside their ancient houses and plant vegetables along the river. I went on a holiday so it was predictably crowded, but except for the bottleneck of the main bridge, it wasn't too bad. I recommend going on a weekday if possible though. The surrounding new town of Zhujiajiao has some more reasonbly priced food but otherwise has little of interest to visitors; just come for the old town. Zhujiajiao is very easily accessible by taking line 17 of the Shanghai Metro to the penultimate station. The scenic area is a short walk from the metro station, or you can take a boat. #LeaveYourMark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #shanghai #tourist #boat #river #oldtown #historicallandmarks

Zhujiajiao Ancient Town

#getgoing2025 an ancient water town near Shanghai, I was captivated by its historic charm and traditional architecture. Strolling through the narrow alleys, I admired the well-preserved buildings and crossed several of the town's 36 stone bridges, each offering picturesque views of the canals. A highlight was the boat ride through the waterways, providing a unique perspective of the town's beauty. The local cuisine was delightful, with green soybeans and lotus roots being particularly memorable. Visiting early in the morning allowed for a more serene experience, avoiding the larger crowds that arrive later in the day.
