Right behind you Newbie!

Spaceman and I have been talking about talking a half-day, full-day, bus tour to the famous Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town. on Friday. Yes, it has become an ancient tourist town, but I am an ancient tourist. It’s also the closest water town to Shanghai.

Definitely a no-host adventure, just show up at the meeting point or bus station, get on the bus, and like a band of gypsies we go down the highway. RT Express bus is 24 CNY.

Admission fee toZhujizjizo attractions:
1. CNY 80 for cruise boat and nine scenic spots (including Tongtianhe Medicine Shop, Qing Dynasty Post Office, City God Temple, Yanyi Hall, Shanghai Handwork Exhibition Hall, Imperial Academy Stele Museum, Shanghai Quanhua Art Hall, Yuanjin Meditation Room and Kezhi Garden)
2. CNY 60 for eight scenic spots (including Tongtianhe Medicine Shop, Qing Dynasty Post Office, Yanyi Hall, City God Temple, Yuanjin Meditation Room, Shanghai Handwork Exhibition Hall, Shanghai Quanhua Art Hall and Kezhi Garden)
3. CNY 30 for four scenic spots (including Tongtianhe Medicine Shop, Qing Dynasty Post Office, Yuanjin Meditation Room and Kezhi Garden)
4. English-speaking tour guide available 3 hours 100 CNY.

So a full-day adventure for between $4 and $32 USD plus lunch, beer and shopping.

There are two bus routes to Zhujiajiao, one departs from the bus plaza at the stadium and takes 2 hours and a transfer and continues on to other places. The other is Huzhu Express Line at People's Square Pu'an Road Jinling Road and arrive in Zhujiajiao one hour later. There is a bus every half an hour.terminating at Zujianiao, slightly reducing the chance of getting lost.

If anybody is interested, PM me or post here and I will get firm information and arrange a meeting spot. Keep in mind I got this information from the internet, so it is true and accurate. I plan to back it up with the concierge at Le Royal Meridien. Also be aware this is a group project – I’m just looking for company and somebody to keep me from being more lost than usual.

Please speak up if you are local, have tried this before, or have information that will keep us from making silly mistakes.
