As autumn paints Shanghai with vibrant hues, Fengjing Ancient Town stands out as a serene escape just a short journey from the bustling metropolis. Located in the Jinshan District, this historic town boasts over 1,500 years of rich heritage, seamlessly blending the old with the new.
Walking through Fengjing's stone pathways, visitors are greeted by a myriad of small food stores and antique shops, each offering unique local specialties that reflect the town's enduring traditions. The charm of Fengjing is further enhanced by its intricate network of waterways, making it Shanghai's largest water town.
A highlight for many is the boat tour, which provides a peaceful way to explore the town's scenic beauty. Gliding along the waterways, travelers can admire the three historic bridges, including the majestic Zhihe Bridge, which has stood for 700 years.
During the same period, Shanghai is also hosting the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) from November 5 to 10. This significant event draws trade delegations from various regions, including Jinshan, which has a history of successfully signing orders with key enterprises at previous expos. The juxtaposition of Fengjing's timeless beauty and the dynamic energy of the CIIE highlights Shanghai's unique blend of tradition and modernity.
Whether you're a traveler seeking cultural immersion or a business enthusiast exploring new opportunities, Fengjing Ancient Town and the CIIE offer a glimpse into the diverse experiences Shanghai has to offer this autumn.
