Get the most out of Shanghai (3)

Route 3: In the suburbs

A 50-minute drive will take you to Zhujiajiao, a suburban water town to the west of Shanghai. Traditional handicrafts, food and ways of life can still be found. Guides take tourists on a boat ride through the waterways lined with centuries old houses.

If you prefer to see some nature, Metro Line 9 will take you to the Chenshan Botanic Garden in Songjiang district where beautiful garden landscapes and around 9,000 distinctive plant species are on display.
