Zhujiajiao Canals

 

Zhuijiajiao is maybe 45 minutes out of Shanghai.  It is an old town with many winding stone pathways and bridges, and homes, cafes, and shops lined up on the riverbanks.  We took a boat ride with a man who propelled us by pushing a long pole.





Zhujiajiao dates back about 1700 years.




Many of the old residences have been converted to shops, which we explored after the boat ride.  

Before the boat ride, we visited a garden created a long time ago by a wealthy resident of Zhujiajiao.

After lunch, we visited the site of a former opera house.
