Today we went on a day trip from Shanghai and explored Zhujiajiao, an ancient water town.
There was tons to see, but we recommend NOT visiting during the weekend like we did, it was pretty crowded...

As cute and interesting Zhujiajiao is! We recommend not going on the weekend, it was super busy! Has anyone else been to any of the Water Towns in China?
I come from Shanghai and have some ideas about water town. Shanghai belongs to the culture circle Wu吴, which is famous for water towns like you saw today.
Zhujiajiao朱家角 is only a small local water town which is not famous at all.
The most famous water towns are listed below:(All near Shanghai)
1. 周庄Zhou Zhuang (Jiansu Province, Kun Shan City江苏省昆山市)

2. 乌镇Wu Zhen (Zhe Jiang Province, Jia Xing City浙江省嘉兴市)

3. 西塘Xi Tang (Zhe Jiang Province, Jia Xing City浙江省嘉兴市)

4. 同里 Tong Li (Jiansu Province, Su Zhou City江苏省苏州市)

5. 南浔 Nan Xun(Zhe Jiang Province, Hu Zhou City,浙江省湖州市 )

6. 甪直Lu Zhi (Jiansu Province, Su Zhou City江苏省苏州市)

When I were you, I would plan my next destination to Su Zhou City苏州 in Jiansu Province江苏省. Shanghai is only the economical center but lack of history and therefore not wonderful for tourists.
Rob & Jenny I recommend you the water town “Tong Li” as “同里” in Chinese
@@galecarp wow! Thanks for a great message! We would love to come back to Shanghai and may give one of those a try as well! 😀 Thanks for watching!!
@@user-gt3wz8ly4o thank you for the great tip!! Looks like we might have gone to the less impressive one by mistake. ☹️ Still excellent day out though! 😀😀
Rob & Jenny You are welcome, it’s really hot these days, keep yourself cool and safe.
We were here over 3 years ago! We absolutely loved it here, definitely need to re-visit China 😍
Definitely! I feel like it's a country that changes fast too so you can keep coming back. Whereabouts are you guys now?
Suzhou is supposed to be the most Chinese-style city where you should make a visit there. Providing you are able to get sufficient days to manage it.
Oh really! That's such a shame we missed it then!! 🙁
Been working in China for slightly over a year, absolutely loved it, china is a country that never stops to surprise ya. Good time guys🤗
Thanks for watching! Thats cool to have been there for so long, we would love to really get to know the country. but our visa was only for 30 days 🙁
Very stunning!looking forward you guys travel north of china.👍🏻
Wow, thanks to you, I enjoyed watching... I'm proud of you for developing day by day.
Amazing video~! from korea
China is amazing ❤️🇨🇳😍
It really is!! If you haven't been you really should go! We want to go again for sure. 😀👍
Rob & Jenny i want be your guys tour in china
The dish you guys tried at 5:52 is made by sesame and covered by sticky rice. The name is “tang yuan” or “yuan xiao”
Thanks! 😃 I don't think it was a very good one unfortunately. 🙁
Rob & Jenny Haha I understand, that’s okay😄. And it should be very sweet inside and not that big with the size, otherwise it is not a very good one.
Tangyuan or Rice Ball coming with various sizes and ingredients. You can easily find them in Asian grocery store here in US. My favorite breakfast in winter, partially because it reminds me my childhood memory (It was really hard to buy black sesame and sticky rice in northern China back 70 and 80's)
Well, we usually eat the soup dumpling with vinegar...... and you let the soup drip off.
The soup of the soup dumpling is the best part.
Amazing Vlog, i just had a trip to Zhujiajiao in April, when the weather was great.
That's nice! It was probably a bit less crowded back in April as well. 😃
@@RobandJenny No, it was actually the same, always crowded. LoL
😄love your vlog. Enjoy!
the soup dumpling you had is actually one of the specialties of Shanghai cuisine, they intended to put the soup in the dumplings lol
Oops!
wow beautiful place & friends good work
It was very beautiful! the crowds were enormous though! Thanks for watching 😀
WELLCOME TO Hunan,zhangjiajie,
There r so many much better water towns near Shanghai...wuzhen n xitang...as for the sesame “dumpling” , it’s called tangyuan, it used to be traditional food for the end of spring festival. N if u like the gardens, Suzhou is the city u shld go, it’s 20 minutes by bullet train from Shanghai, which is known as the “heavenly-like city”. As for the soup dumplings, xiaolongbao, the best n most famous one is in the city god temple alleys, which is near jade garden. There r many many snacks n street food in the alleys inside the open malls. As for the fresh meat dumpling u mentioned, I guess u were referring to shengjianbao, a kind of fried bun with fresh meat or shrimp or crab meat filling inside, u can find it in any chain shops in the city.
Welcome to hangzhou.hangzhou also near to shanghai.
Xihu lake is very famous in china.
So many places to go in China!! Not enough time! 😀
Is it just me? I found Jenny's accent very attractive.
I find it very attractive too! - Rob 😀
Nice video. I'm planning to go there.
Definitely do! maybe aim for a raining day in the mid-week to have less crowds 😀
@@RobandJenny Thanks for the tip, that would be helpful.
China Venice is Suzhou，a city near to Shanghai，take the bullet train 25 min
Oh no! Did we go to the wrong one?! 😳
The ancient city of Suzhou borders Shanghai to the East and Taihu Lake to the west. It is a bright pearl in the Yangtze River Delta. The annual average temperature is 15.7 C. It belongs to the temperate zone. It has obvious mild and humid climate characteristics with distinct seasons. It belongs to the plain hilly area. The ancient city covers an area of 14.2 square kilometers, narrow in East and west, wide in North and south, and is rectangular. There are two moats around the city, including seven water and land gates and one land gate. Although most of the old walls were destroyed and the gates were demolished, the oldest Panmen Shuilu Gate remained intact, and the moats, alleys and alleys could still be seen in parallel. There are many rivers in Suzhou city with a total length of 35 kilometers. There are 186 arch bridges and girder bridges on these wide and narrow rivers. So after the 13th century Italian travelers Marco and Polo traveled through Suzhou, they called Suzhou "Venice of the East", and this reputation has been used ever since.
Google translate ,maybe some syntax error😆
Zhouzhuang is the largest and most beautiful ancient water town in Suzhou. There are many ancient water towns in Suzhou, so she is called Oriental Venice. You can come to Suzhou. Suzhou is very close to Shanghai. She is also my hometown. 😘There is an old saying in China：There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.😎
@@user-tz8ke4nk1p oh wow! You have got us interested in another trip to the area!! Shame we didn't manage to catch this area on this visit! ☹️ But we will definitely be coming back to China! We loved it. 😀
We'll have to check out Suzhou in that case. Thanks for the tip 👍
Xi 'an is the ancient capital of China. You can visit the terra-cotta warriors and horses of qin shihuang, the eighth wonder of the world. Beijing is the capital of China. You can visit the imperial palace, which is the imperial palace where the ancient emperors lived
The great wall in beijing.
China really has it all! 😀
love China from China
❤😀
我是中国山东省人。欢迎来到中国，我的朋友。（I'm from shandong province, China China welcomes you, my friend）
pls come back to Beijing soon as I would have a lot to recommend (mostly food though) hahaj
Haha food is our favourite!
欢迎有机会11月份来杭州玩。 现在这个季节不要来。气温太高了
😀
There are many “Venice of china” near shanghai
😀
天热不要去，热＋闷
Not a criticism. This is a typical video on sightseeing tour presented by westerners. The host is front and center occupying 80% of the scenery which serves as the backdrop. One sees a lot of the host every he/she goes. For viewer the narrator is best sitting on the side with the back toward the camera describing and sharing the scenery with the viewers. It is understood that the western mindset is the individual is the center of the universe whereas in the East man is a part of the world. Thus the difference in emphasis.
Thanks for watching. 😃 This is a nice way to think about it. And we are always up for trying new techniques. 😀
wow.... just take it easy. tourism should be about just fun, and they are trying to have fun; plus it is their trip. I'm a Chinese and I enjoy watching it
好漂亮
😀😀 it really was!
China is vast, you'd better to SW or NW China where have sparse population but wonderful landscape and unique culture.
It's on the bucket list!
Welcome to xi’an
Thanks. We are coming! 😀
Say ZHUJIAJIOU a hundred times fast.
Haha impossible!!
you are very cute
😀 thanks for watching!
Your camera/video shown mostly of yourselves, not the scenery.
Ok. It's a vlog
not a famous place
We are now thinking we went to the wrong village!! 🙈
@@RobandJenny There is no need to have any regrets. In fact, many Shanghainese people also like to go to Zhujiajiao because it belongs to Shanghai. Other water towns are similar, Just they are bigger。
@@RobandJenny Not wrong. Zhuajiajiao is nice, but is just not among the best-known ones, lol. Overall, most water towns in that area of China are similar in the perspective of views.
