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.
In the vicinity of Shanghai, you can find several canal towns, some of which are dubbed the Venice of the East. Getting there seemed as easy as getting to a bus station and catching a bus, but it was not. We ended up in a minivan with two Japanese girls and their Chinese guide, and within an hour, arrived at the entrance of Zhujiajiao. From here, it was a short walk over a street under repair before we reached Chenghuang bridge, a stone bridge with stairs leading pedestrians to the other side of the canal. This is one of the 36 bridges of Zhujiajiao, they are all built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and add to the charm of this canal town. Unfortunately, the famous covered wooden bridge was closed for reconstruction.
