Zhou Zhuang is located 37 miles west of Shanghai in Jiangsu Province. This town is more than 700 years old. The highlight of the visit was a boat tour along the canals.
It is well-preserved village in the ancient Chinese style. It is amazing to walk beside the creek and see people still moving about and living in this old village. The boats that move up and down stream carrying tourists do much to bring back the feeling of old China.
Zhou zhuang has a number of little bridges, the most famous of which is the Ming dynasty Double Bridge. All the bridges are clearly marked on a map handed out with the entrance ticket.
It was pretty quite when I was there and the place kind feels like deserted. We enjoyed the not-touristy place but there were nothing much to do. We completed the whole place in 2.5hrs and we had about 4 hours to explore the place.
One thing that you gotta do is to take the boat ride around the town. Nothing fantastic and just enjoy the cool breeze of the day.
Note that there are quite a number of seafood restaurants but we didn't dare to dine at those restaurants course we can see that they cut the fishes on the floor along the walkway. The vegetables/shell fish were left on the floor and there were alot of flies hovering around it. The fishes in the tank looked sick too.
Luckily there's one quaint Illy's cafe at the town and we settled for a cuppa of latte and tuna sandwich.
Xin Tian Di is the other hottest new entertainment district in Shanghai.
Design is what makes Xin Tian Di so attractive, inside and out. Each of the two to three-story Shikumen looks unique, reflecting the exquisitely-preserved twists and turns of an evolving neighborhood, over the decades. It retains the antique walls, tiles and exterior of the Shikumen housing of old Shanghai.
On the other hand, its interior embodies a totally different world of international gallery, bars and cafes, boutiques or theme restaurants. When you walk into Xin Tian Di, you will get the taste both of Shanghai in the 1920's and the sonic modern lifestyle of urbanites of the 21st century.
Shanghai Xin Tian Di has become the best place for tourists to appreciate the history and modern life of the city, and is also a meeting place for local citizens and foreign visitors.
