@offwithsam: Just one hour from Shanghai’s skyscrapers… this exists 🛶🏮🇨🇳 Zhujiajiao — a 1,700-year-old water town nicknamed the “Venice of Shanghai.” 36 ancient stone bridges, gondolas drifting through canals, street food, tea houses, and hidden alleys that haven’t changed in centuries 🎋 The most iconic bridge — Fangsheng Bridge (1571) — was built by a monk who spent 15 years collecting alms to fund it. For centuries, Buddhists would release live fish from it as an act of mercy. That’s where its name comes from 🐟🙏 And that old pharmacy you see? Tong Tianhe, a Qing Dynasty apothecary dating back to the 1870s. Still open. Still selling herbs. Like time never passed 🌿 This is the China most people never see 🖤 📍 Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town Qingpu District, Shanghai 🚇 Metro Line 17 — Zhujiajiao Station 💰 Free entry Save this for your Shanghai trip 🔖 #zhujiajiao #shanghai #chinatravel #hiddengem #visitchina Chinese water town
