Shanghai Zhujiajiao Water Town Sunset & Lantern Night Private Tour with Hotel Pickup

Leave in the afternoon to see Zhujiajiao
by day and by night

After pickup from your hotel in central Shanghai in the early afternoon, ride in an air-conditioned private vehicle to Zhujiajiao Water Town, often called the "Venice of the East." Departing outside peak hours lets you explore the town at a more relaxed pace.

Stroll through Kezhi Garden from the Qing dynasty

On arrival, visit Kezhi Garden, a classical garden built during the Qing dynasty. Once the private retreat of a wealthy local family, it lets you wander among lush greenery, elegant pavilions and calm ponds in the soft afternoon light.

Glide along the canals at sunset
on a traditional sculling boat

After the garden, board a traditional sculling boat for a cruise along the ancient canals. The ride is timed for the golden hour, so you can admire waterside houses and old trees in the warm light of sunset.

As you step off the boat, traditional lanterns begin to glow along the riverbanks and the evening atmosphere settles over the water.

Cross Fangsheng Bridge and walk
the lantern-lit Ming and Qing streets

Next, your local guide leads a walk through the historic heart of the town. Cross Fangsheng Bridge, Zhujiajiao's signature stone bridge, to admire Ming and Qing-era architecture, then wander the softly lit stone lanes, browse markets of local art and crafts, or try some street food. At the end of the tour, your private vehicle takes you back to your hotel in Shanghai.

With the Bund night view option, you head to the Bund after Zhujiajiao, enjoying Shanghai's night scenery on the way and viewing the skyline from a less crowded spot. With the custom experience option, a riverside seat at a local restaurant is reserved for you (meal at your own expense) and you can choose one custom experience.
