Excursions from Shanghai: Zhujiajiao and Seven Treasure Town (Zhujiajiao and Seven Treasure Town One Day Excursion)

Located in a suburb of Shanghai, Zhujiajiao is a classic water village over 400 years old with a signature five-arch bridge spanning the Cao Gang River. Zhujiajiao is sometimes called "Pearl Stream," as it is steeped in the architecture and atmosphere of the Ming and Qing dynasties of China.

Walk along the zigzag of narrow streets and past the shops in the center of town, and see how the locals really live as they go about their daily labors, sit in the sun and chat, or play cards with their neighbors.

Seven Treasure Town is another ancient village located outside of Shanghai. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Seven Treasures became a prosperous marketplace, known for its cloth, yarn, carpentry, rice wine and water. The textiles were treasured all over the world, with samples from the era still being displayed at the Great Museum of London.
