Shanghai Suburbs—There is nothing to lose in Qibao

Fengjing and Xinchang are not bad. The mutton in Xinchang is delicious. You should try it. The crabs in Fengjing are very good. Metro Line 2 goes to Longyang. You can get there by changing the car

Near Shanghai, I recommend going to Tongli or Nanxun. The most important thing is that there are few people. There are too many people in Zhouzhuang and Wuzhen. It is also good to go there by car. It is more convenient. If that doesn't work, go to the tourist distribution center (one each in Hongkou and Shanghai Stadium, subway line 3 to Hongkou stadium, subway line 4 to Shanghai stadium)
