Water village tour - What a great trip! I highly recommend adding this destination to your itinerary when visiting Shanghai. Located only about 40 minutes from downtown Shanghai, you'll find this pastoral water village steeped in history. It offers local shopping stores, domestic and international restaurant options, and most importantly, the kezhi Garden! Look for the hidden store that sells high-quality replicas of bags and watches. Our tour guide, Snow, was amazing. She spoke excellent English, was very knowledgeable, and helped us negotiate and purchase interesting items in the village.

Amazing tour of the Zhujiajiao Water Town - The tour guide, Mary, was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the history of China and highlighted the major milestones in China's development, the Buddhism and Taoism religions, the local food and very importantly where to get the best souvenirs . I really appreciated her kindness, flexibility and attention to detail. Her English was impeccable and very easy to understand. The driver was also excellent. All in all, a great tour. It exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend this tour. Great memories of boating on the river, Fangsheng Bridge, Kezhi Garden and the Yuanjin Buddhist Temple. If you are interested in historical buildings, culture, religion and excellent local cuisine, this tour is for you.

Fun Tour - Went on a tour with Mary to the water village of Zhuhiajiao about an hour outside of Shanghai and it was really cool. Mary was super knowledgable and taught me a lot. I was super glad I went so if you wanna get out of shanghai and see a cool village, this is the place to go!
