- Gaurav AgrawalKathmandu, Nepal4 contributionsI recently visited the Ancient Town at Zhujiajiao as a solo traveler, and I had a great time! The town is absolutely beautiful, with its narrow streets, traditional Chinese architecture, and canals. I really enjoyed exploring the town and learning about its history.
The only downside was that it was quite crowded, especially on weekends. This made it difficult to get around at times, and it was also hard to find a quiet spot to sit and relax. However, the crowds didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the visit.
Overall, I would definitely recommend visiting the Ancient Town at Zhujiajiao. It's a great place to spend a day exploring and learning about Chinese culture. Just be sure to go during the week if you want to avoid the crowds.
Tips:
1. Visit during the week to avoid the crowds.
2. Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking.
3. Bring a camera to capture all the beautiful sights.
4. Be sure to try some of the local food.Written 2 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's a nice little area with all the usual Chinese souvenirs on offer (tea, silk, jade, pottery, etc). Worth popping by. Go early, it'll be quieter.Written 25 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- John and Deb KKarratha, Australia647 contributionsThis road runs alongside the bund, it featurse many of the old historic buildings. To get a good view of these you need to walk along this road.

- Hugary1Sydney, Australia5,677 contributionsIf your looking around a city for shopping experiences that are markets with some good quality items mixed in with fake or cheap stuff here it is.
There are also restaurants and bars in an area which is more up market that the Fake markets at the Science Museum station.
It even has a Starbuck.
Easiest way to get here is by Metro which 3 Yuan from Nanjing Road were we staying. Works like the London Tube map wise, is clean and safe.
Ticket machines are in English but some only take coins.Written 14 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you want haute couture (and are Asian size) there are many many wonderful original designers and shops. It feels like New York, with sophisticated start ups and cafes, bars and even comedy clubs. Neighborhoods like this one are what makes Shanghai such a world-class, cutting edge city.Written 27 March 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LongYLShanghai, China204 contributionsBlock with renovated historical buildings just behind the Peninsular Shanghai.
Found less tourist than Main street in Waitan, which could bring more genuine and comfortable atomosphere.
Top floors of each historical building are occupied by upscale restaurants and ground floors are mostly retail use.
Auction house Christies are open in one of the buildings along with Rockbund Museum on the backside rd.
To sum it up, it's genuine historical and upscale zone for the rich.Written 7 October 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We took a Didi all the way there we live in Southern Pudong so this attraction was not too far from us but it still took 90 minutes to get there. There is a bus station on the main road outside the park but I would not getting there on public transport would not be easy. When it was time for us to leave it was not easy to catch a Didi, I had to use the app to find a taxi.
After passing the ticket-office there is a large space that has a huge old tree at the centre, to the right there is a long building, which contains very little but there is one small shop selling snacks, beverages and toys. To the right of that shop is the entrance to the park itself. Upon entering you are greeted with a stunning scene; a raised, stone walk-way over water with many old bridges and quaint building. It really is beautiful. As with this type of “garden” the route you take can be confusing, there is not a single path to follow, every so often there will be a crossroads or T-junction which, could lead you back to where you just came from. This can be frustrating if you do not pay attention to the choice of route but I think this also adds to the experience, the park would be busier and have less character if there was one single pathway to follow.
Behind the long open building that contains five or six, enormous decorative drums is a part of the park that is not as nice, in my opinion. This area is styled like a modern day park with lawns and some flowerbeds although there was one small area which was densely populated with some orange flowers which the butterflies were loving, so that is one reason to see the whole park.
We walked around for about 2 hours, the weather was great, more than warm but not too hot with a blue sky that really added to the beauty of the environment. Several electricity pylons, dominate the skyline, which does take away from the experience, but I managed to edit those out of some of my photos and overall it did not ruin our experience.Written 26 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The village has around 20 restaurants and small inns as well as a small inshore fishing fleet employing 150 fishermen, and several seafood processing workshops. You can buy fresh fish from huts along the road. Just inland of the coast road lies the old village proper. It has a small pedestrian street running away from the coast, which also has a few cafes on it.
There's a tourist information centre which has a rather amusing fish shaped map of the local area. Despite being on the coast there's no beach here, just mud flats and a small harbour.
I went because I'd done the Tran-Siberian by train from London to Shanghai, and wanted to get to the Pacifc Ocean properly (Shanghai city is a little inland).Written 31 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
