As autumn paints Shanghai in hues of gold and crimson, there’s no better place to immerse oneself in the season’s beauty than Fengjing Ancient Town. Located in southwestern Shanghai, this water town boasts over 1,500 years of history and is a living tapestry of traditional Chinese culture.
Wandering through Fengjing’s stone pathways, visitors are greeted by the charming sights and sounds of small food stalls and antique shops, each offering unique local delights and treasures. The town’s well-preserved architecture and bustling marketplaces make it a haven for cultural enthusiasts and travelers seeking an authentic experience.
Being the largest water town in Shanghai, Fengjing is interlaced with a network of serene waterways. A leisurely boat tour offers a mesmerizing perspective of the town’s scenic landscapes and historic bridges. Among them, the Zhihe Bridge stands out—not only for its elegance but also for its rich history dating back 700 years.
As the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) approaches, taking place from November 5 to 10 in east China’s Shanghai, the excitement in the region is palpable. Jinshan’s trading delegation, representing the district where Fengjing is located, has previously secured significant trade agreements during past expos. The upcoming event promises to further boost economic opportunities and global connections.
