A prosperous town in the thirteenth century, Jiading was a commercial town rich with trade in cotton and other goods. The town produced many lmperial Examination scholars who in turn enriched Jiading with culture in the form of classical gardens, bamboo carving, painting, and calligraphy. We will visit Zhouqiao old town which was founded during the Song Dynasty, as well as visit the Confucius Temple, lmperial Examination Museum and Huilongtan Park. For lunch we will go to the famous Nanxiang Xiaolong (steamed buns) -  home of Shanghai's xiaolongbao.  Afterwards, we will explore Nanxiang Old Street and its century-old shops on both sides of Tan Ge Road as well as a pair of brick pagodas. We will also visit Guyi Garden, one of the best classical gardens in Shanghai.
