I took a bus to this town from Shanghai. I was with a private guide. We walked the streets of the town and saw the ancient bridges. Most happy for me was the buddhist bridge of setting free captive animals. You will see people with turtles and such, at either side of the bridge. These animals will be set free... More

A very nice setting, well organized, clean and pleasant in the "Kezhi Garden" in the water town of Zhujiajiao. We rented a car and followed highway 318, also called Huqingping Hwy for about 1 hour from Shanghai to the edge of Shanghai province. Passed the watertown of Zhujiajiao first for a pic niq at the lake that appears on your... More

There are tours to here. But if you went with a city bus, it is possible to buy a tour. Boat trip is recommended. I couldn't, but I wish I could. I took a tricycle and the driver (he couldn't speak English) accompanied with me. Don't forget to take your camera.

Have a tour, it takes between one and two hours depending on how many shops you stop by. It is nicely decorated, and even if it's... More

An alternative way to get there instead of the bus is to take metro line 2 , to the end 3 stops passed the airport, then take a cab ride . These are cheaper than in Shanghai. Although more expensive than a bus this is a quicker way if you have not got much time ( an hour each way).... More

We came to the village with a guide in the afternoon, in the evening. There was no crowds of tourists and we were able to calmly walk over bridges and streets, ride on a boat. In the evening we sat in the empty cafe on the canal and drinking green tea. Villagers continue a normal life without the tourists. The... More

I have also worked and lived in Italy & have been to Venice many, many times. This time I have been told that Zhujiajiao is the Venice of Shanghai... More
