Xinchang Ancient Town
an ancient water town with more than 100 folk houses of different sizes in Ming (1368 - 1644 AD) and Qing (1644 - 1911 AD) dynasties. The old streets, the rivers that pass through the town, the exquisite stone arch bridges, and folk houses form a typical picture in China’s Yangtze River Delta. Located in the southeast of Shanghai, about 36 km from the city center, was originally a salt field where salt merchants used sea water to make salt. Later, the salt field gradually became a place where salt merchants lived and exchanged goods.
