Known as “Shanghai’s Venice,” the 49.8-square-kilometer Zhujiajiao is a well-preserved ancient water town typical of the south of the Yangtze River. It first appeared as a village market during the Three Kingdom Period. Later, it became a bustling trade town in the Ming Dynasty. Today, visitors can still see many well-preserved buildings, boats, stone bridges, and stone lanes dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. This is a little quiet town where people can find antiquity, leisure, and tranquility.
