If you don’t feel like leaving Shanghai and want to go for a staycation instead or maybe don’t want to spend all 3 days of Qingming Festival traveling, try Zhujiajiao! Easily accessible by line 17, Zhujiajiao is a historic water town located in Shanghai’s Qingpu district. Great for a short day trip to feel like you’re getting out of the city. I love to go for a stroll along the water here! It’s such a peaceful location and perfect for casual drinks or a lunch overlooking the waterways. You can even take a boat ride through the town if you just want to laze about 🛶 #urbanexplorer#travelinspiration#qingmingtravel

Imagine yourself in the old world of the 江湖, the lakes and rivers, as you stroll along the narrow lanes of Zhujiajiao in western Shanghai, or more authentically, ride a gondola up and down its peaceful water streets. With snack and souvenir shops wherever the eye can see, this is village seems thoroughly transformed into a tourist trap, but look more closely and you can see locals still hang their laundry outside their ancient houses and plant vegetables along the river. I went on a holiday so it was predictably crowded, but except for the bottleneck of the main bridge, it wasn't too bad. I recommend going on a weekday if possible though. The surrounding new town of Zhujiajiao has some more reasonbly priced food but otherwise has little of interest to visitors; just come for the old town. Zhujiajiao is very easily accessible by taking line 17 of the Shanghai Metro to the penultimate station. The scenic area is a short walk from the metro station, or you can take a boat. #LeaveYourMark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #shanghai #tourist #boat #river #oldtown #historicallandmarks

With we all caught up in the fast paced environment, there's no better place for a quick rehab than relapsing our time back to (g)olden days. To go visit that place, where was life was mucb slower and everyone is at their own pace of doing things. The life that we envy about. With very well connected metro station, Shanghai is in no way short of multi cultural places. This is another face of Shanghai, on preserving it's culture. On the first day, go to 朱家角 the water town is situated at the last but one stop in line 17. You have to walk a little bit to go there and get into the town. After that just cross the big bridge to see all the old buildings, also there's always boatman with their mini boats riding people below the bridge. It's such a sight to watch. Then keep going on to your right side, to go the very end to visit the garden temple. Then do a straight opposite side walk to go to the start of the boating place where can pay around 50¥ to have a ride. On the way there are lot of 小吃 to enjoy. The next day you can go to the Qibao old town which again has a perfect Metro connectivity at Line 9 (Qibao station). Have a look around this wonderful place and you can even dress up like traditional chinese men/women. The last day have a hop on tour around yuyuan garden using sightseeing bus and later go to the Jingan temple where again there's a very old temple that provides some calm and serenity. Have a traditional Shanghai this time guys. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity
