Shantang

Stroll along Shantang Street, where the charm of Jiangnan water towns meets modern Shanghai. The seven-mile ancient street lined with whitewashed houses and red lanterns transforms into a dazzling riverside spectacle at night. Don't miss tasting Suzhou-style pastries from street vendors or gliding on a gondola while listening to boat women's melodic folk songs – it's the most authentic slice of Suzhou life.
