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 />
