Zhujiajiao Water Town
朱家角古镇
The easiest canal town to reach by metro — stone bridges, boats and snack streets.
Should I go? It’s fine
Postcard-pretty on weekday mornings, a crush on weekends. Walk past the first souvenir streets to the quieter canals at the back.
Better: For a more atmospheric (and further) water town, locals like Xitang or Wuzhen.
