Zhujiajiao

Shanghai Zhujiajiao｜The pinnacle of Jiangnan water towns! Every snapshot looks like an ink painting🖼️

Stealing half a day of leisure~ Zhujiajiao truly deserves to be called Shanghai's backyard garden! Rowing a small boat through ancient bridges, who understands the joy of this slow life😭

📍Address: No. 555 Kezhiyuan Road, Zhujiajiao Town, Qingpu District
🚇Transport: Metro Line 17 Zhujiajiao Station Exit 1, 15 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by taxi

1️⃣ Stroll along Beidajie
"The No.1 Ming and Qing Dynasty Street in Shanghai" is 1.4 kilometers long. Inside the pawnshop old house hides freshly roasted pork, 25 RMB for a large piece!

2️⃣ View from Fangsheng Bridge
The five-arched stone bridge top is the perfect photo spot! Remember to come at dusk during the blue hour to catch the iconic scene of boats passing under the bridge~

3️⃣ Treasure hunt at Kezhiyuan
A Jiangnan garden blending Chinese and Western styles! The Banana Courtyard and Zicang Bridge are great for photos. Wearing Hanfu instantly turns you into a refined lady👘

📸Two legendary photo spots:
1. Window frame composition on the second floor of Yuanjin Zen Temple
2. Lantern wall along Caogang River

🍲Three must-try dishes:
Braised pork / Youdunzi (fried dough balls) / Zhuangyuan cake! Highly recommend "Apo Zong"’s salted egg yolk meat zongzi, eat it hot for the oil to flow!

💡Tips:
- After 16:30, fewer tour groups make it quieter
- For boat rides, choose the oar-pulled boat; the boat lady will sing folk tunes
- Wear comfortable shoes! The stone slab roads can be hard on your feet
