Zhujiajiao – A beautiful ancient water town even on a rainy day

#ShanghaiTravel On a light rainy day in Shanghai, we decided to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and headed to Zhujiajiao, an ancient water town with a history of over 1,700 years. Although it had been raining all day, it made the city look strangely soft and warm. The sound of rain hitting the wooden roofs and the aroma of local pastries wafting out from small shops along the canal made us feel like we had traveled back in time. We crossed an ancient stone bridge, visited a local teahouse, and paid our respects to the Thousand-Handed Guanyin in a quiet temple along the canal. The rain-soaked trees, old buildings, and reflections in the water unconsciously made us feel very peaceful. Even though it was a little wet, it felt like another very special ordinary day. If you come to Shanghai and want to find a quiet place to rest your heart, I recommend this place. 💧🌿 Must-visit check-in spots • Fangsheng Bridge, a 70.8m long and 7.4m high stone bridge, was built during the Ming Dynasty. And it is notable for being a bridge used for the fish-releasing ceremony to increase merit.  • Yuanjin Temple, Guanyin Temple, built during the Yuan Dynasty and restored during the Ming-Qing Dynasty, giving it a peaceful and powerful atmosphere. #Shanghai2025 #Zhujiajiao
