In centuries past, Zhujiajiao (/joo-jyaa-jyaoww/) was a bustling trading area where canals ferried products in little boats and barges. Boats remain an integral part of the town's charm, offering a unique perspective of the town and local life. Consider taking a gondola on the waterway to view the old town from a different angle at your own pace. Group sizes range from 3 to 10 people, providing flexibility. If you desire more time for photos or have questions about the history and architecture, simply inform your guide.

In the afternoon, embark on a one-hour car journey to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Ascend to the second sphere and marvel at the breathtaking city views. To enhance your experience, our product team has determined that the optimal time is 1:30 in the afternoon for three reasons: fewer people, brighter sunlight, and clearer views, particularly on days with lower air quality.
