Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Zhujiajiao over Zhouzhuang?

Zhujiajiao is closer (50 km vs 100 km), less crowded, and easier for a half-day trip. Zhouzhuang is more famous but further.

Can I combine with other Shanghai sights?

Yes — we can combine Zhujiajiao with a Shanghai city tour or Shanghai Disney in one day.

Is it crowded on weekends?

Somewhat, but much less than Zhouzhuang or Wuzhen. Weekday mornings are best.

Dazhongguo (big fried dumplings), green glutinous rice cake, river snails, and Qingke wine.

Can I stay overnight?

There are boutique hotels in the water town, but most visitors do a day trip from Shanghai.
