Activity Overview

Visit the picturesque Zhujiajiao, a classic water village over 400 years old with a signature five-arch bridge spanning the Cao Gang River. This well-preserved ancient water town is steeped in the architecture and atmosphere of the Ming and Qing dynasties of China.

Unique and beautiful old bridges across bubbling streams, small rivers shaded by willow trees, and houses with courtyards attached - all transport people, who have been living amidst the bustle and hustle of the modern big city, to a different world full of antiquity, leisure and tranquility.

Stroll the maze of paths and bridges, and take a boat ride to view the ancient houses, and relaxing gardens originating from the Ming and Qing periods.

Itinerary

You will be picked up from your hotel and taken in an air-conditioned coach or minivan for a sightseeing tour of the ancient Water Town of Zhujiajiao. An English-speaking tour guide will accompany you on this tour.

The drive from the suburbs of Shanghai to this charming, ancient water village takes about one hour.

On arrival at Zhujiajiao, set out with your guide to explore this town that has retained much of its looks and architecture from the Ming and Qing period. Small rivers crisscross the town, with 36 old bridges on them. Over 1,000 houses first built in Ming and Qing dynasties stand along both sides of nine narrow streets.

Walk on the stone path which is said to date back some hundreds of years and which still remains intact.

There are a lot of other things that you can see at Zhujiajiao:

The well-preserved Ming and Qing architecture, and ancient stone bridges and streets.

An ancestral Pottery and Jade Hall which has large collections of the stoneware, pottery and jade used by the local people. Also see the Hall of Paddy and Rice Custom.

During your tour, you will also enjoy a leisurely boat trip through the narrow water alleys of this ancient town.

Zhujiajiao is also home to two impressive temples, which add to the charm and historic significance of the village.
