Fengjing, Ancient water town in Jinshan District, China
Fengjing is a water town near Shanghai featuring canals, numerous bridges, and traditional architecture mixed with contemporary construction. The layout combines historical waterways with modern development across the area.
The town began during the Yuan Dynasty as a trading point on the canals and grew into a regional center over time. Its location on waterways shaped its development for centuries.
The peasant paintings from Zhonghong village show daily life through colorful scenes of farming, family, and work on canvas. These artworks reflect the traditions and stories of people living here.
Two railway stations serve the town and make getting there straightforward. You can walk easily between the older canal areas and the newer residential neighborhoods.
The newer district was designed with Canadian-inspired architecture, featuring neighborhoods built around canals and a central lake. This unexpected style offers a modern take on the traditional water town concept.
