Stroll through Xinchang Ancient Town, the most characteristic Jiangnan water town in Shanghai!

Xinchang Ancient Town was formed by the deposition of Yangtze River silt at the estuary supported by the tide, with the beach constantly growing. It was named after the southward relocation of the Xia Sha salt field to form a new salt field, hence the name 'Xinchang'. Xinchang Ancient Town's main attractions include the Pudong Academician Style Gallery, the Top Ten Scenic Spots of Xinchang Ancient Town, and the First Floor Tea Garden. The typical architecture of Xinchang Ancient Town mainly consists of multi-entry courtyard-style traditional residences and traditional commercial buildings along the street. The architectural decoration style features a distinct blend of Chinese and Western elements. It retains the unique residential pattern of 'shop in front, residence in the middle, and garden across the water', with the ancient town's Jiangnan water town style preserved intact. Xinchang Ancient Town has twice been awarded the title of 'Home of Chinese Folk Arts'. It has been successively named as a Chinese Historical and Cultural Town, a National Characteristic Town, among other titles. Opening Hours Open all day; exhibition halls are open from 9:30 to 16:30. Ticket Price Free, some small attractions within the ancient town charge a fee. Address: No. 128 Haiquan Street, Xinchang Town, Pudong New District!
