Jinze Town is located in the western part of Qingpu District, Shanghai, by the picturesque Dianshan Lake, and is known as the western gateway to the city. With a long history and numerous cultural landscapes, Jinze Town is a quintessential ancient water town in the Jiangnan region. Historical records indicate that Jinze originally possessed “six views, one pagoda, thirteen squares, and forty-two rainbow bridges”, and there was a saying, “every bridge has a temple, and every temple has a bridge.
” Due to long-term neglect and severe destruction, Jinze Town now retains 21 ancient bridges, making it a town with a relatively high number of preserved ancient bridges in Shanghai, drawing the attention of domestic and international bridge experts and scholars.Jinze Town is rich in resources. Dianshan Lake, one of the larger freshwater lakes in Shanghai, is scenic, with fresh air and clear water quality. The lake is dotted with numerous lakes, crisscrossed by rivers and ports, and the fertile soil produces fragrant glutinous rice and hybrid rice, making it a typical Jiangnan land of fish and rice.
