An early morning excursion was scheduled for the Water Town of Zhuziajaio which took several hours to get to because of heavy traffic. This was the beginning of a three day national holiday that is meant to celebrate family heritage. The celebration includes leaving the city to visit rural family gravesites. Hence the traffic.
The Water Town is considered the Venice of China. It doesn’t have a large Piazza but it has canals and lots of vendors and tiny shops.
We returned to the ship and after some lunch I decided to return to the downtown market. A city of 25 million people with a holiday might portend a crowded atmosphere. Yes it was.
We leave Shanghai today and head for Hong Kong. This is such a great city with lots to see and do.
