Fengjing, Ancient water town in Jinshan District, China
Fengjing extends across 91.7 square kilometers of canals, bridges, and traditional buildings alongside modern industrial developments near Shanghai.
Founded during the Yuan Dynasty, Fengjing developed from a canal trading post into a significant regional center with 52 stone bridges crossing its waterways.
The Jinshan peasant paintings originating from Zhonghong village in Fengjing represent daily life through colorful agricultural and social scenes on canvas.

The town incorporates Canadian-inspired architecture in its new district, featuring neighborhoods built around canals and a central lake.
