This has been one of the foundations for my tours where I specialize in connecting Shanghai to the rest of the world and every type of person that lives in it! As an experienced tour guide, I would now like to focus on providing quality PRIVATE tours exclusively for visitors traveling independently to Shanghai and offer a wide variety of standard tours in Shanghai and cities nearby (Suzhou, Hangzhou , Nanjing and Wuzhen) along with customized tours designed to meet your specific wants and needs.

Zhujiajiao, with a history of about 1, 700 years, is the best-preserved ancient water town among the four ancient towns in Shanghai. Situated forty seven kilometers away from Shanghai in Qingpu, Zhujiajiao is accessible by tourist bus. Called "The Venice of Shanghai", Zhujiajiao features lovely waterways, curved rock bridges, old streets cemented with stone, and over 10, 000 buildings dating back to the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing dynasties (1644-1911). Bridges in the town are distinctively in different shapes and styles, from wooden to stone to marble. Fangsheng Bridge is the longest, largest and tallest stone bridge among them.
