Discover Qingxi Ancient Town — Shanghai’s Hidden Thousand-Year Retreat

#chinatravel Tucked quietly within Shanghai, Qingxi Ancient Town boasts over 1,400 years of history, dating back to the late Sui and early Tang dynasties. Once a thriving commercial hub, it now offers a peaceful escape with cobbled lanes, timeless architecture, and a true taste of slow life. Don’t miss the Wanghai Tower, the elegant Nanyuan Garden blending Jiangnan charm with café culture, and the historic Yang Gaojing Residence from the Qing dynasty. Local eats like Haitang cake, scallion pancakes, and Qingcun lamb noodles make it a culinary gem too. With few crowds and rich heritage, it’s a perfect weekend getaway from the city’s buzz. #travel #trip #china #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary
