This was my best experience in China so far! Join Angel and me as we hop on the metro from the heart of Shanghai and step back in time in one of China’s most enchanting ancient towns: Zhujiajiao! Just an hour away from the modern skyline, this 1,700-year-old water town is filled with winding canals, arched stone bridges, Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, and the magic of old-world charm. We meet a friendly local guide who takes us on a personal one-hour walking tour through the town center sharing fascinating stories and hidden streets. Every corner of Zhujiajiao feels like stepping into a Chinese painting. See you on the next adventure!
