I am used to seeing high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete in the city, so it is quite nice to change to a quiet town. Zhujiajiao, located 40 kilometers away from Shanghai, is a relatively successful ancient water town built by the Shanghai Municipal Government. The rivers here lead to secluded alleys, the water surface gradually widens, and the ancient buildings left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties are relatively well preserved. The streets along both sides of the river are dotted with a series of ancient buildings such as Wang Chang Memorial Hall, Chenghuang Temple, Yuanjin Zen Temple, Suzhou Garden Class Planting Garden, Qing Post Office, etc., which add a lot of humanistic atmosphere to the ancient town. You can visit it slowly .

Zhujiajiao is an ancient town with a typical Jiangnan water town model, so when you come here, you must see various stone bridges. There are Yongfeng Bridge, Tai'an Bridge, etc. The most famous bridge in Zhujiajiao is Hengfeng Bridge. Spanning the Fangsheng Bridge over Caogang, this five-hole stone arch bridge has a beautiful shape and is particularly spectacular from a distance. When you come to the water town, it is highly recommended to take a awning boat. The chartered boat costs 100 yuan and the tour lasts about 30 minutes. You pass through rainbow-like bluestone bridges. On the shore are various ancient buildings with Jiangnan characteristics. The streets are filled with hurried people and The boatman who paddles slowly and leisurely will make people feel extremely comfortable.

Zhujiajiao is no longer just an ancient town in the traditional sense, it is also full of artistic and youthful atmosphere. Modern paintings and sculptures attract people from home and abroad. The riverside teahouse under Fangsheng Bridge has become a place for young people to relax. There were foreign faces among the vendors and tourists. There are various specialty gourmet shops and more artistic coffee shops in the town. When you are tired of shopping, find a coffee shop near the river, order a pot of strong tea, and take a rest with a few friends on the second floor. It has a unique flavor. .
