Overview

From cinematic Old Shanghai to picturesque Jiangnan water town, in one day you will travel through time along Film Park's vintage streets and savor a thousand years of calm aboard a rowboat in Zhujiajiao—along the way, there are movie sets, local snacks, fragrant tea, and a side of Shanghai you have never seen before.

• Picture-perfect at every turn – vintage trams, shikumen lanes, arched bridges, and white-walled reflections – your phone will capture cinematic shots effortlessly.

• A rowboat cruise through a thousand‑year water town – board a wooden boat, glide under Ming‑dynasty bridges, with white‑walled houses and willows sliding past. This is the most authentic way to experience Zhujiajiao and the unhurried rhythm of Jiangnan's waterways.

• Iconic film sets – walk the sets of Kung Fu Hustle, Lust, Caution, and Blossoms Shanghai, and see Zhujiajiao's old bridges and houses on screen.

What to expect

  1. 2h · Admission ticket included
    This is not a typical attraction, but a living film set where you step into old Shanghai's 1930s world. Vintage shop signs, shikumen houses, and cobblestone streets recreate the bustling historic Nanjing Road. Many famous films and TV dramas, including Kung Fu Hustle, Lust, Caution, and Blossoms Shanghai, were shot in these lanes. You can visit the costume and prop hall to see period qipao, long gowns, military uniforms, and old furniture, each with a story. For a quieter mood, explore the European‑style garden sets with colonial villas and hedges. This time is free—no guide, no fixed route. Take photos, sit on a bench, or wander slowly. You may also catch live stunt performances if available that day. When hungry, try freshly fried shengjian buns, scallion pancakes, or wonton soup. These tastes and the film‑like atmosphere will give you unforgettable memories of old Shanghai.
  2. 4h
    Zhujiajiao, called the "Venice of the East," has a thousand years of history. Many travelers say, "This is the water town I dreamed of." We'll take a rowboat ride under arched stone bridges from centuries past. white‑walled houses with dark tiles and weeping willows create a perfect scene. On the boat, you'll forget your phone and schedule, surrendering to the gentle rhythm of the water. After the ride, wander the flagstone lanes lined with small shops. Stop by a century‑old teahouse perched over the river—order a pot of smoked bean tea and watch the boats drift. Or sample the local granny's wrapped zongzi, sticky rice dumplings stuffed with savory pork, rich and satisfying. Other snacks like smoked green beans, sweet lotus root, and stinky tofu add to the culinary adventure. This town offers a leisurely charm—the scent of river mist, the warmth of tea, and the tranquility of sitting by the water. These sensations will linger in your heart, calling you back long after you've left.
