Picturesque canals with old traditional houses, stone bridges reflected in the green water below, trees overhanging the canals - and if you want, you can always throw some goldfish into the Chaogang river from a 16th century bridge.
Zhujiajiao was founded around 1700 years ago. Initially, it became wealthy through rice and cloth business, of which you can still find testimonies in town. Nowadays, however, it is mostly tourism that drives the canal town. The overall impression is that it is kept pretty well. While the bridges are old, so are the white houses, and, in fact, many inhabitants. Many inhabitants of Zhujiajiao seem to have a shop, as the main streets are full with them, selling anything from souvenirs to food. While walking through the lovely town, we did not only like the views, the canals, the bridges, especially on North or Ancient street, but definitely also the street scenes we came across: old Chinese people playing mahjong, chatting on the banks of the canal, teenagers making fun together. As is often the case, straying from the main tourist paths is certainly worthwhile, and took us to some attractive courtyards with laundry hanging to dry, and inhabitants tending their garden.
