Zhujiajiao: A key gateway to China's ancient towns for inbound travelers

November 05, 2026


Abstract : For many visitors, a trip to Shanghai isn't complete without seeing a Jiangnan water town. Just a short trip from the Bund, Zhujiajiao Ancient Town is emerging as one of the key gateways to China's ancient towns for inbound travelers.

For many visitors, a trip to Shanghai isn't complete without seeing a Jiangnan water town. Just a short trip from the Bund, Zhujiajiao Ancient Town is emerging as one of the key gateways to China's ancient towns for inbound travelers. Its charm lies in the details: multilingual signs across the town, residents in their 70s and 80s learning foreign languages to connect with visitors, and the timeless beauty of white-walled, black-tiled buildings along the canals. Together, these small touches make Zhujiajiao, the "Venice of Shanghai", a warm, welcoming gateway for global guests.
