Old town, narrow alleys, canals: Zhu Jia Jiao (朱家角) takes you back in time.
A wonderful half-day excursion to Zhujiajiao, easily accessible by train or taxi. Once you step foot in the town, it truly transports you to a simpler time. The narrow alleyways are lined with various shops and restaurants. While entry to the town itself is free, there may be optional fees to visit historic houses and temples (though there are plenty of free attractions to enjoy). It's a highly traditional Chinese town adorned with lanterns and charming man-powered boats. Make sure not to miss the breathtaking sunset by the canal - it's truly a sight to behold!

The old town of Zhujiajao 朱家角 is just what you need to immerge yourself in a totally new picturesque atmosphere, a ancient water town.

Your trip to Shanghai isn’t complete if you don’t have the chance the gorgeous small water town of Zhujiajiao!
This water town is located in the outskirts of Shanghai and easily accessible by metro.
Once you’ve reached the station, walk about 15minutes to reach the entrance of the old town.
Once you get there, I’d suggest you spend few hours walking around and enjoying the beauty of this little water town.
I speak very little Chinese but still had the chance to converse with some locals. They were super friendly !
It really is a nice peaceful and beautiful area.
Have fun!
PS: I had no problem getting in. I had to sign a form and was let in right away.
Welcome to Zhujiajiao!
