You will be picked up from the lobby of your hotel around 8:30 a.m. Your guide will confirm the exact time with you by phone or text the day before the tour. Feel free to tell him/her if you have any requests.

Hop on your private car, then transfer to Zhujiajiao with 1 1-hour ride.

Zhujiajiao is one of the closest water towns away from the urban area of Shanghai. Its traditional atmosphere is completely different from Shanghai. If you want to relax and experience the exquisite water town culture, Zhujiajiao is a good choice.

Fangsheng Bridge, 70 meters long and 7.8 meters high, is the largest stone arch bridge. Standing on the bridge, tourists will get a charming view of the river and the houses on its banks of the river. In a word, it is the best place to enjoy the water town view in Zhujiajiao.

Baoguo Temple, an important place to learn Buddhist culture in Zhujiajiao, was originally built in 1640 AD. There is also a 20-meter-high tree in the temple. It is said that the tree is over 1000 years old.

With a history of about 50 years, Zhuxi Garden is one of the youngest gardens near Shanghai. But the views in the garden are as charming as other ancient gardens. The Chinese Zodiac Corner is a must-see part of the garden. Statues of 12 lovely zodiac animals welcome you with their unique dance.

Your tour guide will find a local restaurant for you to try local foods, and will help you order dishes based on your preference.

After lunch, you will be transferred to Qibao Old Streets.

Admire the well-preserved Ming and Qing-style architecture in Qibao Town, and stroll across the ancient bridges over the crisscrossing rivers. Visit cultural attractions like the Zhang Chongren Memorial Hall and the Qibao Shadow Puppetry Art Museum. Also, don’t miss the opportunity to taste the local snacks such as Qibao Gao and He Bao Dougan, which offer a unique flavor of the region.
