Jinze Ancient Town
金泽古镇
A 'bridge and temple culture' town on the shore of Dianshan Lake in Qingpu, with ancient bridges from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties all in one place, next to the Yangtze River Delta 'Jiangnan Water Town Living Room'.
Jinze Ancient Town is in western Qingpu District. Since ancient times it has been known for the saying 'every bridge has a temple, and every temple has a bridge'. The town preserves several ancient bridges, including the Song-dynasty Puji Bridge, the Yuan-dynasty Yingxiang Bridge and Wan'an Bridge, as well as the ruins of Yihao Chan Temple, making it a good place to learn about bridge culture in Jiangnan. The town is lightly commercialized and retains the original look of a water town. In recent years, new landmarks have appeared nearby, including the Yangtze River Delta 'Jiangnan Water Town Living Room' and the Huawei R&D Center. The old town is free to enter. It is about a 20-minute drive from Zhujiajiao, or you can take Metro Line 17 to Dongfang Lüzhou Station and transfer by bus.
