Located in a suburb of Shanghai, Zhujiajiao Ancient Town is the water town nearest to the city. Zhujiajiao has a history of over 1,700 years. Endowed with an elegant name—'Pearl Stream'—the small town is the best preserved among the four ancient towns around Shanghai. Unique, ancient bridges cross bubbling streams; small rivers shaded by willow trees and gracious houses with attached courtyards help to transport urban dwellers away from the hustle and bustle of the modern city to a world of antiquity, leisure and tranquility.
