Zhujiajiao "small bridge with flowing water and natural scenery, original Ming and Qing Street". Zhujiajiao ancient town tourist area is located on the bank of Dianshan Lake in the western suburbs of Shanghai. Since ancient times, thousands of businessmen have gathered and all walks of life have flourished. Known as the "Pearl of the South of the Yangtze River", it is one of the four famous cultural towns in Shanghai. It forms a triangle with the surrounding Zhouzhuang and Tongli ancient towns, effectively forming a well-defined network of ancient towns.

Zhujiajiao ancient town is full of charm, and there are many buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Here, there is a little affection of "turning to Zhuge, low household" in Su Dongpo's ci, and it is full of charming and dreamy water town customs. There are also many cultural relics in the town during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The North Street of "Three Miles Long Street, Thousands of Stores and Thousands of Shops" is the commercial center of past dynasties. It stands by the water and is 3 to 4 meters wide. In the narrowest place, the eaves on both sides only show a glimmer of light, which is very charming. Looking from the window, the stone path stretches continuously, just like an ancient painting of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and people come and go like a modern Qingming Riverside Map.

In addition, Zhujiajiao also has a charming ancient bridge. There are many ancient bridges in the ancient town, about 14. Life Bridge is the largest and most famous one. This bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 500 years. This ancient bridge is imposing. Although it has gone through many years, its charm is still there. Just like Changhong straddling an antique river, it is addictive and lovable.

In addition to the dazzling array of ancient buildings, there are many collections in the town: Bridge Art Museum, Riding Museum, Character Museum, Folk Museum and so on. These collections with various names and different contents show the folk customs of Jiangnan water towns to Chinese and foreign tourists, and at the same time add a different kind of excitement to Shanghai ancient culture.

Strolling through Zhujiajiao ancient town, you are greeted with rich water town customs, fresh and warm, refreshing Ming and Qing cultural atmosphere, quiet but not depressed, heavy and unobtrusive cultural heritage. The ancient town in the afterglow of the sunset spreads like a picture scroll in the sunset, emitting golden brilliance. Lazy time can't take away passers-by, but it makes people secretly sing in a low voice: "Like smoke, like Zhujiajiao's dream, look back and get drunk."
