When planning our trip, my friend and I agreed that we must go to Chujia Kok! Although it was an hour and a half drive from Shanghai, with only a three-day tight schedule, I should have given up, but in the end I decided to go for a walk in the countryside and feel a different Shanghai! The beautiful scenery of Zhujia Kok is really beautiful, looking at the boat taking tourists to enjoy the scenery along the way, across the large and small bridges, feel the three hundred to four hundred years of history of the town, feels like in the past only read in the Chinese history books, very meaningful 🥰 photography beyond the video, the shopping street also sells various specialty snacks and souvenirs, the scope is larger than we imagined, walking here for most of the day is really not too much! #globaltravel #shanghai

#2024TravelReview Although Shanghai is the first city in China, it still has ancient city monuments to visit. Zhujiajiao is the best-preserved ancient water town, which is larger and more beautiful than Zhouzhuang. The biggest surprise of going to Zhujiajiao was the photo shoot with various ethnic costumes, including makeup and wigs, and a professional photographer to help me shoot, and the cost was very cheap! Strolling in the ancient city, you will feel like traveling through time. Along the alleys, you will walk across the largest stone arch bridge in Shanghai, which is one of the ten scenic spots in Zhujiajiao. It has a beautiful shape. Zhujiajiao Water Town is so beautiful at dusk and night! Immersing yourself in it feels like traveling back to the Song and Yuan dynasties.

This place is not far from Shanghai, about 1 hour by train. This place will be an ancient Chinese style house building. There is an important landmark that everyone must come to, which is the bridge over the canal. You can see the view around the ancient city. Or if you want to see the atmosphere, there is a boat service to take you around. The atmosphere is very good. ☁️ In the city, there are restaurants, coffee shops, souvenir shops, strange snacks that you have never seen before. And the most popular thing is to wear ancient Chinese clothes. There are many clothes to choose from. With makeup and hair services at a not too expensive price Chinese people are very full. If anyone comes, I recommend you to try it. 📍Address: Shanghai City-青浦区-朱家角镇课植园路555号 🚇 Travel: Hongqiao Railway Station, take line 17 to get off at Zhujiajiao Station, exit 1. When you get there, you can walk or call Didi. 🕰️ Opening hours: Every day, every time ❣️I recommend going in the afternoon to evening to see the atmosphere when the lights are on. Another kind of beauty #Shanghai #TravelChina

#2024Travel Review If you like ancient cities and monuments, go to Shanghai and go to Zhujiajiao, the most complete ancient water town. Although there are many ancient cities in other places, the Zhujiajiao water town at night is really beautiful! Immersing yourself in it is like traveling through the Song and Yuan Dynasties. When I went to Zhujiajiao, I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful costumes of various ethnic groups. When I came here, I could actually take pictures, and then a professional photographer helped me take the pictures. The cost was very cheap! There is a saying that there is a three-mile long street with thousands of shops. Wandering in the ancient town, you feel the charm of traveling through time and space. Walk along the alley and cross the Fangsheng Bridge, the largest stone arch bridge in Shanghai. The beautiful shape is one of the ten scenic spots in Zhujiajiao!

One day trip from Shanghai city, visit Zhujiajiao, an ancient city over 1,700 years old, a city known as the Venice of the East because there is a river flowing through the city. The city has a good atmosphere, there are restaurants, shops, souvenir shops, cafes such as Starbucks, Luckin Coffee, and there are also boat trips. There are also ancient costumes for rent for taking pictures. 📌 Metro Line 17, Zhujiajiao Station, Exit 1, walk another 1 km. #Zhujiajiao #Shanghai #Shanghai #Places to visit near Shanghai

This is the first time to Shanghai because my husband likes the ancient town culture very much So I arranged half a day to visit Zhujiajiao Ancient Town First of all, there is no charge to enter Zhujiajiao Ancient Town (some ancient town areas require additional tickets to enter)... This is very considerate. As you enter Zhujiajiao, you will see ancient houses along the river bank. The scenery is quite beautiful, as if entering another time background There are many street shops along Yanlu Road, and traditional cultural food should be imported. There are also many shops that offer photo taking in ancient costumes (unfortunately I was too busy to try it this time). Friends who are interested in ancient costumes can go and try it☺️ Zhujiajiao Ancient Town is a place where people feel comfortable living Although there are many tourists, their environment is well protected. There is no garbage on the ground. The point is that there are many public toilets, which are very convenient. A place worth visiting again This time I also went to Yu Garden and Chenghuang Temple It was too late when we arrived and many shops were closed. But fortunately, the lights in Yu Garden are still on. Yu Garden at night is so beautiful and unreal 😊 I highly recommend you to visit these attractions👍

Just an hour away from the bustling heart of Shanghai, Zhujiajiao offers a serene escape into a world of ancient charm and waterways. Known as the “Venice of Shanghai,” this picturesque water town boasts a history of over 1,700 years, with its canals, stone bridges, and traditional architecture perfectly preserved. Zhujiajiao is a feast for the senses. Stroll along the quaint cobblestone streets and cross iconic bridges like Fangsheng Bridge, the largest stone arch bridge in the town, offering stunning views of the canals. The waterways, lined with traditional wooden houses and weeping willows, create a calming ambiance that feels worlds apart from the modern skyscrapers of Shanghai. Hop on a wooden boat to glide through the canals for a unique perspective of the town. The rhythmic sound of the oars in the water and the sight of locals going about their daily lives provide a glimpse into a simpler time. The town is also a haven for foodies. From freshly steamed dumplings to sweet zongzi (sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves), the local delicacies are a must-try. Don’t miss a cup of fragrant tea at one of the traditional teahouses along the riverbanks. Zhujiajiao’s history dates back to the Ming Dynasty, when it thrived as a hub for trade. The ancient post office, still standing today, showcases relics that highlight its role in connecting the region during imperial times. Whether you’re exploring its historic temples, indulging in local snacks, or simply enjoying the scenic beauty, Zhujiajiao is the perfect day trip from Shanghai. It’s a place where the pace slows down, and the echoes of the past blend seamlessly with the tranquility of the present. #chinatrip #shanghai

In January this year, I embarked on a journey to Zhujiajiao Ancient Town. Located in the suburbs of Shanghai, this water town left a deep impression on me with its unique architectural style and rich culinary culture. The architectural style of Zhujiajiao Ancient Town is quaint and charming. Walking on the bluestone roads, the old houses and stone arch bridges from the Ming and Qing dynasties make you feel as if you've traveled back in time. Whether it's the white walls and black tiles of the residences or the ancient alleys, everything is filled with a strong sense of history. Especially the bridges and waterways of the ancient town, which reflect each other, with the breeze rippling the water surface, enveloping the entire town in tranquility and harmony. Among them, the Fangsheng Bridge is one of the iconic buildings of the ancient town. The bridge stands tall, and standing on it, overlooking the entire town, it feels as if the whole world has slowed down. This serene beauty makes you want to stop and savor this rare peace. In Zhujiajiao, besides the beautiful scenery, the food is also an experience not to be missed. Especially the local live eels, which are mouth-watering. In the restaurants, the fresh eels are meticulously cooked, with tender and juicy meat, and the taste is incredibly flavorful. Especially the freshly grilled eels, with a slightly crispy exterior and tender interior, each bite is filled with rich flavors, as if the taste of the Jiangnan water town has been infused into it. In addition, other snacks in the ancient town are also very distinctive.

🏞️Zhujiajiao is the most well-preserved ancient water town in Shanghai, and has also been selected as "one of the 50 most worthy places for tourists to visit in China". Therefore, we specially arranged for the last stop of this trip to go to Guangfulin and Zhujiajiao. There are many small shops in the alleys of Zhujiajiao, including local snacks and handicraft shops. As for the small bridge, there are many restaurants and cafes on both sides of the river. It is very pleasant to enjoy the scenery of the river bank while dining, and it is also very Jiangnan water town style. There are small bridges, flowing water, and fishing boats. You can enjoy the picturesque scenery of the water town💕 There is no need for tickets here, unless you are going to a special attraction, you can choose a spot ticket or a package ticket. It was still raining that day, making it even more like the misty and rainy Jiangnan mentioned in the book. Although it was raining, we still wanted to go on a boat trip. We happened to have five people in a boat and visited Fangsheng Bridge, Chenghuang Temple, and the Qing Post Office. Then we found a coffee shop or teahouse to sit in. There are coffee shops along Caohe Street, and there are pets to accompany us. Or have a cup of tea at the historic Grandma Tea House and experience the Jiangnan style🌺 There are also many local snacks in the small shops along the road, such as fermented glutinous rice cakes, candied haws, Yunyang Shaobing, and grandma’s meat rice dumplings. You can taste the local snacks😋 #上海 # Zhujiajiao # Zhujiajiao Ancient Town # Jiangnan Style

Compared to Wuzhen‼️ I have a deeper affection for this ancient town in Shanghai that doesn't require an entrance fee.|| Wuzhen is indeed beautiful, but it has a stronger commercial atmosphere. In contrast, I prefer Zhujiajiao Ancient Town in Shanghai, whose scenery is no less stunning than Wuzhen's, yet it has a more authentic living atmosphere: potted plants at the street corners, smoke from the rooftops, clothes drying on the balconies, and delicious street food... No wonder locals from Shanghai also come here often to visit! 📍Address: No. 555, Kezhiyuan Road, Qingpu District, Shanghai. 🚇Transportation: You can take Metro Line 17 and get off at Exit 1 of Zhujiajiao Station (a 1.5 km walk is required), or take the 1510 tourist bus line at Exit 5, or take a boat into Zhujiajiao after exiting from Metro Exit 1. 🚗Self-driving: Navigate to Entrance 1 or Entrance 2 of Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, both of which have parking lots. 🎫Ticket: No entrance fee is required, open all day.

Zhujiajiao Ancient Town has a long history and rich cultural heritage. Built along the water, with crisscrossing rivers, numerous ancient bridges, it has the typical style of a southern water town, with white walls and black tiles, deep and quiet streets, filled with the simple charm of antiquity. Address: Qingpu District, Shanghai Transportation: Line 17 to Zhujiajiao (you can choose to walk or take a boat directly to Fangsheng Bridge) Admission: Free Route: Zhujiajiao Ancient Town Tourist Center - Kezhi Garden/Hexin Garden - across the bridge is Grandma's Tea House - walk along Dongjing Street to Fangsheng Bridge - walk along North Street - Jiangnan's No.1 Tea House - Helong Art Gallery - Sauce Garden - across the bridge - Yuanjin Zen Monastery - City God Temple - Daqing Post Office Treasure Check-in Spots 1 Yuanjin Zen Monastery The view here is very open, where you can see boats coming and going. You can't see such an open waterscape in Wuzhen or Xitang. It's very comfortable to order a pot of tea in the teahouse on the opposite bank. 2 Daqing Post Office It used to charge a fee and no one was interested, but now it is a cultural and creative center with a stamping station. The small courtyard is very stylish. 3 Kezhi Garden Originally named Ma's Garden, a manor-style private garden combining Chinese and Western elements. It's evident that it belonged to someone quite wealthy. 4 Hexin Garden I didn't know about it before, but this time I took a friend for a tour. A small door leads to a different world inside. The garden scenery is no less than Suzhou's. 5 Fangsheng Bridge The largest and longest existing five-arch stone bridge in the Shanghai area. You can take a panoramic photo at the dock. About the food: Grandma's Rice Dumplings: The glutinous rice is cooked very soft and mushy, with a very wide variety of flavors, each ingredient is particularly solid, personally, I still love the salty egg yolk meat dumpling the most. Braised meat, pork knuckles, and sweet glutinous sugar lotus roots are all especially worth a try. The reputations of these few restaurants in Shuzhaijiao Li Courtyard, Yinshi Jia, and Wine Jar Rice Bucket are also quite good.
