The town was formed in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, formerly known as Zhujiacun. Later, due to the booming business, it became a big town in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and it was a distribution center for agricultural and sideline products in four surrounding townships. The town starts from Nangang Bridge in the east, connects Xiuqiao Bridge in the west, faces Dadian Lake in the north and Qingping Highway in the south, with an area of 1.25 square kilometers, which looks like a folding fan.

North Street, Daxin Street and Caohe Street are the commercial centers of the town. As the old saying goes, "There are three miles in a long street and thousands of shops". During the Republic of China, the rice market was extremely prosperous, and the green horn and thin rice were well known. At that time, there were 100 rice mills, rice shops and rice shops on both sides of Cao Gang. Every time the new valley appeared, the river port was congested by rice boats, and its grand occasion was evident. In addition, the town's commercial industries are complete, outlets are everywhere, the supply is sufficient, and the business is prosperous.

Zhujiajiao Town is a "small bridge with flowing water and natural scenery, authentic Ming and Qing Street". Zhujiajiao Town is located 6 kilometers west of qingpu town and east of Dianshan Lake. According to records, Zhujiajiao had formed a market in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and the town was being built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Zhujiajiao, also known as Zhu Jieting, also known as Zhu Xi. The town covers an area of 47 square kilometers, with vertical and horizontal river ports, nine long streets extending along the river, thousands of Ming and Qing buildings standing by the water, and 36 stone bridges with ancient customs still exist. There are the first stone arch bridge in Shanghai, the North Street of "Sanli Long Street, Thousand Stores and Thousands of Shops", the Xi Hall, the Wang Ge Memorial Hall of the Seventh Son of Wuzhong in Qing Dynasty, the first teahouse in Jiangnan, and the water "cruise teahouse" with strong flavor in Jiangnan water town. ...

The charming natural scenery of Zhujiajiao, an ancient town, is surrounded by mountains and lakes. True mountains and waters show the characteristics of Jiangnan water town. Although the mountain is not high, it is famous. It is the remnant vein of Tianmu Mountain in western Zhejiang. This mountain is the beginning, such as climbing to the lake, and there is a "peak night" scene. Lake, natural fresh water Dianshan Lake, covers an area of 62 square kilometers. Most of the eastern part of the lake is in Zhujiajiao area, and Hangzhou has 1 1 West Lake. Swimming around the lake by boat, the water and the sky are the same, the reeds in the lake area sway gently, the wild ducks and waterfowl jump, and they feel far away from the hubbub and relaxed.

Zhujiajiao, a famous town, is more attractive and has the characteristics of an ancient town. It is composed of one bridge, one street, one temple, one temple, one hall, one museum, two gardens, three bays and twenty-six lanes. If Zhouzhuang, a 900-year-old water town, is small and exquisite, it looks like a small jasper, while Zhujiajiao, a thousand-year-old town, is magnificent and elegant.

First of all, the area of Zhujiajiao ancient town is 1.5 square kilometers, which is more than three times that of Zhouzhuang. Cao Gang divides Zhujiajiao into Jingting Port on the north bank and North Street on the south bank. There are winding alleys, granite streets, blue bricks in Ming and Qing dynasties and many historical sites on both sides.

The first bridge refers to jiefang bridge, the first stone arch bridge in Shanghai and the largest five-hole stone bridge in the south of the Yangtze River. On July 27th, it was the best to stand on the top of the bridge and watch the clippers swing, while the other 30 ancient stone bridges were as magnificent as Zhouzhuang. In terms of construction and technology, Zhonghe Bridge and Zhaxi Bridge in Zhujiajiao are stronger than Zhouzhuang Double Bridge, and those characteristic bridges are incomparable to Zhouzhuang. Three steps away are "High-low Bridge", "Miniature Landscape" Planting Bridge, "Ka" Qijia Bridge and "Yongfeng Memorial National Shame Bridge".

First Street, the first North Street in Shanghai in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is still so original after many vicissitudes. The unique structure of "first sight" is amazing. Known as "a long street with three miles and thousands of shops and shops", North Street has become the most prosperous ancient street in Jiangnan, which is beyond the reach of other ancient towns in Jiangnan.

The first temple, Guobao Temple, is the lower house of the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai. The Sakyamuni Jade Buddha carved from white jade in Myanmar, the first white jade Guanyin presented by Singapore and the ancient ginkgo are also called the "three treasures" of Guobao Temple.

The first hall, the Town God Temple with a history of more than 200 years, with blue tiles and yellow walls, flying dragons and lucky gourds, and long lattice windows, presents a solemn and magnificent scene full of ancient meanings, and cigarettes are around. Among them, "Dougongtai", "Woodcut Cross Beam" and "nave Painting Axis" (now abandoned) are called "Three Treasures" of the City God Temple, which are very rare.

The first hall is Xi Hall, which is a masterpiece of wealthy family buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. In particular, the "brick carving of wall and door" is a must, with exquisite patterns, exquisite carving and superb skills, which is amazing.

The first museum is the Wang Chang Memorial Hall, with nearly 100 physical exhibits, such as Wang Chang's wax figures, poems, calligraphy and painting, inscriptions, looms, old-fashioned beds and so on. , known as the "seven sons of Wu Zhong", was a scholar in the 19th year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty. Rich in content, informative historical materials, crystal status is extremely high.

The second garden is Kezhi Garden and Zhuxi Park, an ancient one and a modern one; A huge, a delicate, set each other off. Kezhi Garden is a manor-style garden building, covering an area of 96 mu. This garden was built in Ma Yu 19 12, which means "reading while farming". There are bookshops, Xiang Tao Village, pavilions, bridges, halls and rooms in Langfang, and all kinds of buildings and living rooms are available. Zhuxi Park was built in 1956, covering an area of more than 70 mu. It is small and exquisite with beautiful scenery. It is decorated into three gardens in spring, autumn and winter, each with its own characteristics. There are also children's parks, restaurants, teahouses and shops, which are ideal places for rest, eating, shopping and playing.

Three bays, namely: Sanyang Bay, Jiaozhou Bay and Tommy Bay. On the pedestrian street, there are houses all around. I think, at the end of the road, turning at a right angle, a street market is in front of us, which makes people feel wonderful. This strange turning landscape of the old street is rare in other ancient towns, and you can't see it unless Zhujiajiao.

In fact, the Twenty-six Alleys are not just the Twenty-six Gu Xiang in Zhujiajiao. Every street has alleys leading to streets, streets and alleys, forming a network chessboard pattern. Zhujiajiao Gu Xiang is famous for its richness, antiquity, strangeness and profundity, which is unmatched by other ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Walking in the alley is like entering a maze, full of fun, exploring the past and enjoying the hutong-style interest in the north, which has the same effect. Nowadays, "ancient tourism" is increasingly favored by foreigners and foreigners, and it is a precious virgin land that needs further development.

The charm of Zhujiajiao, a famous town, lies in the well-known "three more", that is, there are many celebrities, many buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and many rivers, ports, rocks and teahouses.

First of all, there are many celebrities, mainly Zhujiajiao, with quiet environment and pleasant climate. It is a treasure house of research and learning. It has always been a gathering of literati and talented people. In Ming and Qing dynasties, there were 0/6 Jinshi/kloc, including more than 40 people. Among them, Wang Chang, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, Chen, a physician, Lu Tuer, a novelist, Zi Pei, a newspaper magnate, and a stone relief monk are famous.

Secondly, there are many buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Historically, many wealthy families and literati built gardens and houses here. There are as many as four or five hundred ancient houses in the town, and people with wind and fire walls, Shikumen and wall doors can be seen everywhere. "Sancha Fishing Village", "Wang Chang's Former Residence", "Fulv's Chronicle" and dozens of places such as Guild Hall, Lushi Family, Chen's Former Residence and Zhongjia Guild Hall, as well as countless Ming and Qing buildings along the street, cornices, white tiles and white walls, and Ming and Qing styles, constitute a painting scroll of ink and wash in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Third, there are many rivers and ports, many rocks and many teahouses. Zhujiajiao is the hometown of water. There are many bridges, rivers and ports, and there are countless cable boats and stones beside them. Various water bridges, various cable boats and stones are all over the rivers and alleys of the town. The unique landscapes of these water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are interesting and intriguing when carefully observed. It is simply a synthesis of history, cultural relics, architecture, customs and art. There are "double-sided floodplain" with protruding stone revetment, "single-sided floodplain" with recessed stone revetment, and "invisible riverbank" where people enter from the front door and the floodplain comes out from the back of the house. The granite relief cable boat stone embedded in the stone barge in the water lane is dazzling and interesting. Some carved into horns, some carved into swords, some carved into monsters, some carved into wishful thinking, showing auspicious and simple beauty. These long-standing carving arts add more charm to the ancient town. There are more than a dozen teahouses in the ancient town, most of which are concentrated in the area of Fangshengqiao and North Street. There are luxurious and newly-built Fangshengqiao Teahouse, old club Teahouse, antique temple buildings, door panels, tables and chairs, simple and cheap farmhouse teahouses, and the most interesting and gratifying thing is that "the teahouse is open to cruise ships".

The traditional characteristics of Zhujiajiao are: rose tofu, double sets of sun-dried oil, lead-free preserved eggs, five-color dumplings, steamed buns, roasted edamame, fresh meat brown and so on. When chrysanthemum and yellow crab are fattened in autumn, you can also taste delicious Dianshan Lake hairy crabs here.
