Jiading District is located in the northwestern part of Shanghai and connected to downtown Shanghai by the Hujia Expressway, the first expressway in China. Jiading is well known for its modern Shanghai Auto Museum and Shanghai International Circuit, but there is also much to explore in its old and long history.

We will try yellow straw weaving, one of the traditional handicrafts that is listed as a national level Intangible Cultural Heritage. We will also visit the Jiading Confucian Temple, which has gone through several repairs over the past eight hundred years and is one of the best conserved Confucian temples in China.
