It is definitely worth a visit. The metro is just as fast as the taxi so it is recommended to take the metro. That's also much more fun than a long taxi ride. Take line 2 to the west and get on line 17 at the train station. Everything is well signposted in English, so it is easy for a normal traveler and the metro only costs 8 cny per ticket. When you arrive at the Zhujiajiao metro station, you have to leave the station on the left and after a few minutes of walking you will see boats and cycle a little further along the Tuk-Tuk park. We took the Tuk-Tuk bicycle taxi to get to the entrance of Zhujiajiao for 20 CNY, a ride of about 10 minutes. Otherwise you'll have to walk all this or take a DIDI. Admission is free, but you can buy a combination ticket at the ticket office for various sightseeings such as parks, temples and museums. There are various packages and we opted for 4x admission, including a park and 2 temples. This was more than enough for us. The streets are small and very nice to walk through. Because it is small, it gets busy quickly. We went on a Monday during a hot summer day and it was very manageable considering how busy it was. In addition to local restaurants and places to eat, you will also find a McDonalds and a Starbucks here. You couldn't walk all the way around, because a security guard stopped us from walking around the water. So we went back over the bridges the same route. We easily spent 3 to 4 hours here and because of the heat we finished earlier than we could have. I can recommend this to everyone and they maintain everything very well and are constantly improving buildings.

Visited it only if u have nothing to do anymore. From Nanjing area it takes almost one hour plus by subway. Plus walking time around 15 minutes or more. Sign of the tourist area also not clear. So please make sure after arrived at the station, cross the road and go left.Actually it very hard to spot. Nothing really interested nor something special to buy.

We loved this place, although it is very touristy and really a shopping experience. It was quite busy, I imagine at the weekend it would be unbearable. I loved the narrow lane shopping experience, you could walk past without too much attention paid to you, unlike other markets in China. You are 1 of many tourists here. Lots of places to eat. We didn’t do the gardens, temples or boat. We took the tourist tuk tuk to the entrance at 20 Yuan. The poor driver was struggling with our Western weight!

Zhujiajiao might have once been a lovely place to visit; a kind of Chinese Venice with beautiful waterways, picturesque houses, and gondolas carrying happy tourists around. Maybe... But now, this relatively small area is so overrun by busloads of tourists that you can only move around in single file and can’t avoid stepping on the heels of the person in front of you when they stop to take a photo or buy a snack from one of the countless stalls. I genuinely felt like part of a massive sausage. Tip 1: When you need a graceful escape and a quiet restroom, step out of the sausage mass and visit Kezhi Garden (entry 20 yuan). Tip 2: You can take the metro from downtown Shanghai almost the whole way for 8 yuan... first line 2, then line 17... followed by a 20-minute walk.

Not overcrowded like ZhouZhuang, still quite authentic and well maintained. Street food was fantastic! Small paved roads with numerous bridges and gardens make the walking experience perfect.

It’s a beautiful authentic water village old town. Beautiful feel, nice chill place. My family had a good time. Friendly locals, no traffic like motorcycles etc. spend half day a day there trying local lunch and chill in cafe. Recommended and not crowded got nice photo shots.

A typical Jiangnan water town, boat,snack,temple,Jiangnan gardens etc. And it's about one-hour drive from city center. If you have no plan to Suzhou or Hangzhou but want to experience the water town, it's worth a visit.
