Shanghai
Worth visiting!
A review of this place
We arrived in Zhouzhuang at 12:30 and drove back to Shanghai at 6:30, and that was already one or two hours too much, as there is only so much to see. Anyway, we went there on April the 8th and had a nice time. Even though it was cloudy, as you can see in the pictures I took, the views of Zhouzhuang are gorgeous. Like almost everything in China, Zhouzhuang has a big catch – at least for foreigners: the vendors there. While you can stroll calmly through the narrow streets as a chinese person and enjoy a bit of window-shopping, as a foreigner your ears get bombed by words like ‘Look! Look! Rolex!’ or ‘Please come, come in please!’ or ‘Hello sir, have a look!’… Damn, sometimes I wish I were chinese, really.
