Found nearly 1,700 years ago, Zhujiajiao is a village unlike any other. Like many of its 60,000 inhabitants, you'll have the option of exploring the village by foot (with an English- speaking guide) or by canal boat (not included), seeing some of the 36 stone bridges and ancient buildings, like a Qing Dynasty post office still lining its riverbanks today.

Following lunch (additional cost), you return to the city center and trek the culturally significant Bund waterfront. With nearly three miles of waterfront buildings dating to the 1930s and 40s, the Bund was home to many international financial and commercial centers. Today, it is a popular area for tourists and locals alike to walk about, shop, and appreciate the architectural history.

Soon after, you'll reach the Jiangnan Silk Museum to learn and see how the famous fabric is produced. Upon hearing silk history and seeing the craftwork, there is an opportunity to purchase authentic silk goods.
