Another ancient water town 1/2 hour by Metro. For a taste of Shanghai 200 years ago, visit this traditional Chinese street that has escaped redevelopment. So much to see, so little time.

From CNNGo: "The Qibao old town is approximately 30 minutes away from Shanghai downtown by metro. Take Metro Line 9 to Qibao Station (七宝站), and Qibao Lao Jie Nan Da Jie is 10 minutes away on foot.

Be warned -- it's often crowded because the restaurants are as renowned as the old architecture. But you must try the tofu and fried rice cakes with red bean paste filling."
