Imagine strolling through cobblestone alleys flanked by Ming-Qing era buildings, crossing 700-year-old bridges, and watching boats glide along serene waterways 🌊. Welcome to Fengjing Ancient Town – a 1,500-year-old treasure hidden in Shanghai’s Jinshan District that’s serving major ‘water town vibes’!
Founded during the Yuan Dynasty, this living museum is more than just Instagram-worthy views. It’s the birthplace of vibrant Jinshan peasant paintings 🎨, earning its rep as the ‘Home of Chinese Folk Art’. With 52 ancient bridges (yes, including the iconic Zhihe Bridge!) and a history straddling the Wu-Yue cultural border, Fengjing is where tradition meets timeless charm.
Meanwhile, Shanghai gears up for the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) starting Nov 5 – a global marketplace spotlighting innovation and cross-border collabs 💼. But first, let’s soak in Fengjing’s stories – because who needs time travel when you’ve got history this alive?
