Just an hour west of downtown Shanghai, Zhujiajiao is a 1,700-year-old canal town with stone bridges, wooden houses along the water, and a famous waterside teahouse — the perfect contrast to the modern skyline. A private car lets you reach it in comfort, wander the canals, take a hand-rowed boat, and return on your own schedule.

We provide door-to-door pickup from any Shanghai hotel or airport. Fixed pricing from $90 includes the round-trip drive and driver waiting time while you explore.
