Discover the Venice of Shanghai: Zhujiajiao day trip guide!

The Chinese Venice just an hour away from Shanghai✨ Zhujiajiao is a signature destination in the outskirts of Shanghai. This ancient water town combines traditional architecture, stone bridges, and the atmosphere of old China. It’s the perfect place to unwind after the hustle and bustle of the big city — beautiful, peaceful, and full of charm. 🚇How to get there: The easiest way from Shanghai is by metro — Line 17, Zhujiajiao Station. From there, it’s a 10–15 minute walk to the town center. It’s best to arrive in the morning — there will be fewer people. #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #shanghai #asiatrip #scenicspotguide #zhujiajiao #instagramworthydestinations #hiddengems

Zhujiajiao Ancient Town

Imagine yourself in the old world of the 江湖, the lakes and rivers, as you stroll along the narrow lanes of Zhujiajiao in western Shanghai, or more authentically, ride a gondola up and down its peaceful water streets. With snack and souvenir shops wherever the eye can see, this is village seems thoroughly transformed into a tourist trap, but look more closely and you can see locals still hang their laundry outside their ancient houses and plant vegetables along the river. I went on a holiday so it was predictably crowded, but except for the bottleneck of the main bridge, it wasn't too bad. I recommend going on a weekday if possible though. The surrounding new town of Zhujiajiao has some more reasonbly priced food but otherwise has little of interest to visitors; just come for the old town. Zhujiajiao is very easily accessible by taking line 17 of the Shanghai Metro to the penultimate station. The scenic area is a short walk from the metro station, or you can take a boat. #LeaveYourMark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #shanghai #tourist #boat #river #oldtown #historicallandmarks
