There are tours to here. But if you went with a city bus, it is possible to buy a tour. Boat trip is recommended. I couldn't, but I wish I could. I took a tricycle and the driver (he couldn't speak English) accompanied with me. Don't forget to take your camera.

Like any other nice place in China it is crowded with chinese tourists but it is very nice. Small little streets all along the canal, many little souvenir shops and cafes with awesome views. Have a tour, it takes between one and two hours depending on how many shops you stop by. It is nicely decorated, and even if it's... More

The tour bus charges HK$200 for a half a day trip. We checked the postings and took the underground number 2 to the end of the line past honggiad airport station. name: east xuing this is away from pudong international airport. Exit number 4 and taxi stand to the left around 130HK$ one way including toll road charge to the... More

An alternative way to get there instead of the bus is to take metro line 2 , to the end 3 stops passed the airport, then take a cab ride . These are cheaper than in Shanghai. Although more expensive than a bus this is a quicker way if you have not got much time ( an hour each way).... More

We came to the village with a guide in the afternoon, in the evening. There was no crowds of tourists and we were able to calmly walk over bridges and streets, ride on a boat. In the evening we sat in the empty cafe on the canal and drinking green tea. Villagers continue a normal life without the tourists. The... More

I have been told in the past that Saint Petersburg is the Venice of the North. I've found it to be an overstatement (I have worked and lived in Saint Petersburg). I have also worked and lived in Italy & have been to Venice many, many times. This time I have been told that Zhujiajiao is the Venice of Shanghai... More

Since it's just less than 1 hr bus ride from SH, so my boyfriend and I just went there for an afternoon. The bus was easy to find, 12rmb per ride. I'd say the water village is a giant tour spot with tons of souvenir shop. Not very much to visit in fact. Maybe because I have been to Wuzhen... More

Another ancient town in Shanghai like Wuzhen, nice view with nice photogenic scenery, but too commercialised. There are 36 bridges across the river within Zhujiajiao, Setting-free bridge is one of the famous. Tickets admission to some structures or buildings are needed, even if you are going for pray in the temple, the monks will approach you for the donation, so... More

I visit Shanghai on business and wanted to do something local that is not city like. I arrived at 11 am on a saturday and was enraptured by the quiet scene at sight - tons of feathery seeds were gently settling on the still waters and one of the many bridges was starting to get some visitors. We immediately got... More
