SHA10 ZUJIAJIAO WATER VILLAGE (1300-1800 Monday,<br />
15 November) Minimum 16/ Maximum 114 (PRICE: $55)<br />
Located in a suburb <strong>of</strong> Shanghai, Zhujiajiao is an ancient water<br />
town well-known throughout the country, with a history <strong>of</strong> more<br />
than 1,700 years. Covering an area <strong>of</strong> 47 square kilometers, the<br />
little fan-shaped town glimmers like a bright pearl in the landscape<br />
<strong>of</strong> lakes and mountains. Endowed with another elegant name,<br />
―Pearl Stream,‖ this little town is the best preserved among the four<br />
ancient towns in Shanghai. Unique old bridges crossing bubbling<br />
streams, small rivers shaded by willow trees, and houses with<br />
courtyards attached transport those living amidst the hustle and<br />
bustle <strong>of</strong> the modern big city to a world full <strong>of</strong> antiquity, leisure and<br />
tranquility.<br />
