Xinchang Historical Town

Pudong gives people the strong impression of its super fast modern development in the World.   But between Lujiazui Finance & Economy Zone,  where the most concentrated Skyscrapers are and the World biggest harbor, Yangshan Deep Water Port, there is an old town staying quietly for several centuries.  It is Xinchang, the meaning in Chinese is "New Field".                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           It was the important salt field supplying to the big area of Yangtze River Delta in the history.  This town reminds the visitors of its prosperous period of salt dealing, storage and transportation then. Those rivers, bridges, pavilions and houses in East China traditional style are quite well preserved for the visitors to review its history now due to its inconvenient location in the view of land transportation during last few decades.  But the metro will reach the town during next year, it is wondering how long this peaceful atmosphere there can last?
