Stroll along Zhouqiao Old Street, where every brick and tile exudes the charm of time

Zhouqiao Old Street is located in Jiading District, Shanghai. It is a tourist destination with rich historical culture and unique Jiangnan water town style. The scenery here is beautiful, the crowds are small, and the New Year atmosphere is strong. This year, I will celebrate the New Year here🧨. The Zhouqiao Old Street area has been inhabited since the pre-Qin period, and settlements had formed by the Tianjian period of the Southern Liang Dynasty. Jiading was named after the Lianqi River during the Tang Dynasty and was called Lianqi City. In the tenth year of the Jiading period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1218), a county was established and named "Jiading" after the reign title, which has been used to this day. 🌈Highlights: ✅This is not only a national 4A-level tourist attraction, but also retains the characteristics of ancient Ming and Qing residences. It is the center of Jiading Ancient Town and is full of life. ✅You can stroll and eat along the "cross" river of the old street, taste various snacks, and buy local specialties such as Jiading bamboo carvings and yellow grass weaving. ✅‌Fahua Tower‌: One of the iconic buildings in Jiading, it was built in the Song Dynasty and has been repaired many times. There are cultural relics exhibitions in the tower, where you can learn about the history and culture of Jiading‌. ✅‌Zhouqiao‌: Built in 1245, it is a single-arch stone bridge that spans the Lianqi River. Standing on the bridge, you can enjoy the ancient buildings and water town scenery on both sides‌. 🎫Ticket: Free 🚗Transportation: Take Jiading No. 12, Jiading No. 131, Line 11, etc.
