| My friends who lived in Shanghai talked about going to one of the water villages near the city. On our 2nd day we had a private tour of the town of Zhujiajiao, which is known as the Venice of Shanghai. The history of the town dates back 1700 years. |
 |
| There are lovely waterways. |
 |
| Curved Bridges |
 |
| Narrow streets |
 |
| Old buildings dating back to the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing dynasties (1644-1911). |
 |
| The town is full of charm... |
 |
| The guide book said, "walking along the pathways you feel like you are in an elegant and fresh painting." |
 |
| One of the activities that you can do is rent authentic period clothing and have your picture taken by a pro. We didn't do this but I did have fun taking pictures of this local in her outfit. |
 |
| We walked through another lovely garden with many water features. |
 |
| Chinese gardens are just so picturesque, peaceful and photogenic! |
 |
| Our gondola ride wasn't quite like Venice but it was a fun outing and I'm so glad we had this fun experience. |
