Start your day with a convenient pickup from city centre Shanghai and head to Zhujiajiao Old Town, one of the best-preserved water towns in the Shanghai suburbs.

Begin your guided walking tour with a visit to Fangsheng Bridge, the largest and longest five-arch stone bridge in the Shanghai region. Enjoy panoramic views of the canal and traditional riverside architecture.

Next, explore Kezhi Garden, a grand private estate that uniquely blends classical Jiangnan garden design with Western architectural influences, reflecting the cultural openness of early 20th-century Shanghai.

Enjoy free time to explore local restaurants and sample authentic water-town cuisine, such as river shrimp, glutinous rice dumplings, and braised pork trotters (at your own expense).

Opt for a rowing boat ride to glide along the winding waterways and experience the timeless charm of the town from the water. Then, relax with a specially arranged riverside afternoon tea and enjoy the tranquil ambiance of the water town.

At the end of the day, return to Shanghai and get dropped off near Shiliupu Pier on the Bund. If you wish to continue the experience, opt for a Huangpu River night cruise, providing a stunning contrast between the gentle water-town charm and the dazzling modern skyline of Shanghai.
