Discover Shanghai’s Hidden Watertown

“Far from the tourist routes, Fengjing offers a glimpse into everyday river life — where stories flow through alleyways, bridges, and steaming bowls of home-cooked lunch.”

Many travelers have watertown on their bucket list when visiting China, but unfortunately, many of these towns have become overly commercialized and turned into tourist traps. We believe an authentic watertown should still be home to locals, with residents selling home-cooked food and greeting visitors in their native Shanghainese dialect. We discovered a perfect hidden gem for you. Join us on this guided tour to experience the true charm of FengJing Watertown, one of Shanghai's best-kept secrets

What our client say

The perfect escape from the city. Fengjing felt peaceful, authentic, and not at all touristy. I loved the boat ride through the canals and hearing stories about the imperial exam champion. Our guide was friendly and full of fun facts. A real highlight of our China trip!

We were looking for something beyond the usual day trips and this was it. Walking through alleys where locals still live and seeing real street food (and eating it!) was so refreshing. The old mansion and the hidden bunker were incredible.

I’ve been to other watertowns near Shanghai and they all felt a bit too polished. But Fengjing still feels like a real place. I loved the slower pace, the personal stories from our guide, and lunch cooked by the ‘aunties’ by the river. It’s the kind of experience you’d never find
