Stroll along Yanjiagang, where Shanghai's bustling modernity gives way to a serene water town. Ancient stone bridges arch over crystal-clear canals, flanked by well-preserved traditional houses that seem frozen in time. At dawn, watch locals washing clothes by the waterways—a living postcard of authentic Shanghainese life. Don't miss the steamed soup dumplings from nearby eateries, their delicate skins bursting with rich broth, offering a delicious taste of old Shanghai.
