Located in the west of Shanghai, the Zhujiajiao Water Town is one hour’s drive from the center of Shanghai. The ferries and canals in the town are iconic objects of the local people’s simple life. Most salesmen in the shops have been serving tourists for 30 years. Lots of tourists buy something in the shops only because they like the salesman.
