Description: |
|
Zhujiajiao is an ancient town located at the bank of the
Dianshan Lake in Qingpu District. The town, with a history of
over 1,000 years, is the most well reserved ancient town in
Shanghai and has been known as “Venice of Shanghai” for its
simple but attractive appearance typical of towns in the south
part of China. In 1991, it was designated by the State Council
as the “Well-Known Chinese Cultural Town”. The ancient town is
simple and tranquil, refined and elegant. Walking along the
zigzag flagging or wondering among the narrow streets and lanes
flanked with shops and stores, tourists feel as if they were in
a simple but fresh wash painting: small bridges above giggling
water, residence of the Ming and Qing styles, small dark-awning
boats lying at anchor, sweeping willows swaying along
riverbanks, and stone bridge spanning the Dianpu River like a
beautiful rainbow. Inside the town are rivers and bridges,
giving tourists a sense of the ancient time. The Fangsheng
Bridge, constructed in the reign of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty,
is the biggest joint five-arch stone bridge in Shanghai. It is
70.8 meters in length and 5.8 meters in width. Exquisite in
structure and beautiful in shape, it is the first of the ten
scenic spots of Zhujiajiao. |
