Leave central Shanghai on a guided group tour of Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, one of the best-preserved water towns on the outskirts of Shanghai. With a local guide who speaks Chinese and English, visit the five-arched Fangsheng Bridge and Kezhi Garden, which blends Jiangnan garden design with Western architecture. During free time you can try water-town dishes, then relax with a cup of afternoon tea by the river. Choose the morning (9:00–14:00) or afternoon (14:00–19:00) time slot.

Leave central Shanghai
for Zhujiajiao Ancient Town
Meet your guide in front of the Shanghai International Hotel near People's Square and travel by bus to Zhujiajiao. Zhujiajiao is a signature water town near Shanghai where canals and traditional riverside architecture are well preserved.
Visit Fangsheng Bridge and Kezhi Garden with your guide

The guided walking tour begins at Fangsheng Bridge, the largest and longest five-arched stone bridge in the Shanghai area. From the bridge, enjoy views of the canals and traditional riverside buildings. Next, explore Kezhi Garden, a grand private estate that combines classic Jiangnan garden design with Western architectural influences, reflecting the cultural openness of early 20th-century Shanghai.
Enjoy free time and afternoon tea by the river

During free time, browse local restaurants and try water-town dishes such as river shrimp, glutinous rice dumplings and braised pork knuckle (at your own expense). If you like, add an optional rowing boat ride along the winding waterways. Then relax with one cup of afternoon tea per person by the river, taking in the peaceful waterside scenery.
End the tour near the Bund
At the end of the day, return to Shanghai by bus and get off near the Shiliupu Wharf parking lot on the Bund. To keep the experience going, add the optional Huangpu River night cruise and admire Shanghai's modern skyline, a striking contrast to the water town.
