🚤 Where History Meets Waterways
Imagine strolling through cobblestone lanes flanked by Ming-Qing era buildings, with canals reflecting the glow of red lanterns. Welcome to Fengjing Ancient Town—a living museum in Shanghai’s Jinshan District! Founded over 1,500 years ago, this ‘water town’ is a maze of 52 bridges (yes, 52! 🤯), including the 700-year-old Zhihe Bridge, where locals still gather to trade stories.
🎨 Birthplace of Folk Art
Fengjing isn’t just pretty—it’s creative! Known as the ‘Home of Chinese Folk Painting,’ it’s where vibrant Jinshan peasant paintings come to life. Think bold colors, rural scenes, and traditions passed down for generations. 🖌️✨
🌍 Live from the ‘Southwest Gateway’
While Shanghai dazzles with skyscrapers, Fengjing keeps its soul intact. Tune into live streams to watch boatmen paddle past tea houses, or catch artisans crafting folk art. It’s like a Studio Ghibli scene come alive! 🏮
P.S. The 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) kicks off in Shanghai Nov 5-10—stay tuned for global trade updates! 🌐
