Fee: Free to enter the town; combo tickets for attractions now range from CNY 30 to CNY 80 (~$4-11, no flat minimum spend). There isn’t a flat fee to enter Zhujiajiao Water Town—the town itself is free to enter. Instead, individual attractions or combo tickets are required if you wish to visit specific sites. For example:
– CNY 30 for a four-attraction pass (e.g., Kezhi Garden, Qing Dynasty Post Office, Tongtianhe Museum, Y-Art Gallery)
– CNY 60 for an eight-attraction pass
– CNY 80 for a boat cruise plus access to eight attractions
Often dubbed “the Venice of Shanghai” for its many bridges and historic structures, this town is quite different from modernized Shanghai. Many visitors spend a half-day walking some or all of the 36 bridges or taking a gondola-style boat ride—boat rides generally cost between CNY 30 and CNY 80, depending on whether they’re bundled with attraction access.
