Shanghai Authentic Fengjing Watertown Private Tour
Many travelers add watertowns to their bucket list when visiting China, but sadly, many have become overly commercialized and turned into tourist traps. We believe a true watertown should still be a living community, where locals sell home-cooked food and greet visitors in their native Shanghainese dialect. We've found the perfect hidden gem for you. Join us on this guided tour to discover the authentic charm of FengJing Watertown, one of Shanghai's best-kept secrets.
