Zhujiajiao

Zhujiajiao (朱家角) which literally means "Zhu family corner", is an ancient water town located on the outskirts of Shanghai.  Dating back over 1700 years, there are a total of 36 walking bridges that cross the numerous waterways lining the town.  From Shanghai, you can get there by public bus in about an hour for only US$1.  Once there, you can spend the afternoon wandering the lanes, checking out the little shops, having tea by the riverbank, and trying some local food.  It's a nice way to do something a little different outside of the city.
