Zhujiajiao — Shanghai’s little Venice of the East. 🚤🏯

Just an hour from the heart of Shanghai, Zhujiajiao Water Town offers a picturesque escape into a world where time seems to slow down. Known as the ‘Venice of the East,’ this 1,700-year-old town is laced with tranquil canals, arched stone bridges, and narrow lanes lined with traditional houses and teahouses. Wooden boats glide gently across the waterways, while the aroma of local street snacks drifts through the air, creating an atmosphere that feels both peaceful and alive. A visit to Zhujiajiao is more than just a day trip — it’s a journey back into the charm of ancient China, perfectly balanced against the backdrop of modern Shanghai. 📍 Address: China, Shanghai, Huangpu, 四牌楼 邮政编码: 200000 🕙 Opening hours: Monday Closed Tuesday 9 am–4 pm Wednesday 9 am–4 pm Thursday 9 am–4 pm Friday 9 am–4 pm Saturday 9 am–4 pm Sunday 9 am–4 pm #travelwithlpy #zhujiajao #shanghai #scenicview #cultural #ancientown
