Come to Shanghai to see the beauty of the charming Jiangnan river region

Not only impressing tourists with the appearance of a youthful, vibrant city, Shanghai and the neighboring ancient town of Jiangnan have also been mentioned in poetry many times for their ancient, peaceful features and many cultural values.

Ancient Oriental style

If you love cultural and historical symbols, you cannot miss the oriental-style landmarks such as Yu Garden, Jade Buddha Temple or China Art Museum.

Among them, Yuyuan Garden with a total area of 2 hectares and about 400 attractions is a place voted by many tourists as a "must-see" in Shanghai. The garden was built during the Ming Dynasty, is over 400 years old, has a sophisticated design with many beautiful landscapes, and promises to bring visitors check-in photos that cannot be taken away.

Yu Garden is known as one of the most beautiful gardens in China.

About 6 km from Yu Garden is the Jade Buddha Temple - one of the 10 most popular tourist destinations in Shanghai. In 1882, the temple was built to house two jade Buddha statues brought from Burma (Myanmar) by monk Hui Gen.

After nearly 150 years of history, the temple is now the headquarters of the Shanghai Buddhist Academy, and has become a peaceful land for visitors seeking a place of peace for their souls.

The quiet temple preserves religious and cultural values.

The China Art Museum is also a popular cultural destination for many tourists. With opening hours from 9am to 5pm, the museum is suitable for you to leisurely admire the works of art while strolling around all day.

Peaceful ancient town on the water

The Jiangnan River Region has long been famous for its peaceful scenery and poetic landscapes like ink paintings. If you have time, you can linger and visit the ancient towns of Jiangnan not far from Shanghai such as Wuzhen and Zhouzhuang.

Among them, Wuzhen is known as one of the most beautiful ancient towns in China. Not only does it preserve almost intact the ancient beauty of its architecture, the peaceful life of the people here is also an attractive point for tourists to visit.

The ancient town is about 2 km long, divided into 6 small villages. What makes Wuzhen special is that the people still retain the characteristics of Eastern civilization from architecture to lifestyle. The people in the town live peacefully, mainly working in weaving, dyeing, wine making, handicrafts and tourism services so that visitors can experience a peaceful ancient town in the middle of the city.

Known as the “Venice of the East”, the ancient town of Zhouzhuang is also a destination chosen by many tourists to experience the scenic river scenery of Jiangnan. The curved stone bridges across the gentle water create a poetic and lyrical beauty for the scenery here.

Only about 1 hour drive from Shanghai city with a reasonable cost of about 100 yuan per person, so Zhouzhuang is an ancient town chosen by many Shanghai residents and tourists to visit for their trip.

Currently, the most convenient and fastest way to travel to Shanghai for Vietnamese tourists is by plane, with a travel time of just over 4 hours from Ho Chi Minh City.
