Shanghai Quanhua Watercolor Art Museum: This is the only watercolor art museum in my country that professionally collects and displays contemporary international and domestic watercolor classics. Teacher Chen Xidan is in charge. Many of them are works by Mr. Chen Xidan, mostly European city landscape paintings. Quanhua Watercolor Art Museum is located in Shuzhai. The house faces west and east, with three wells and three terraces. Except for the bungalow at the back terrace, the rest are buildings, and the houses are in the shape of "mu". The scale is second only to Ke Zhi Garden. The whole building is antique, with red lanterns hanging high, and modern paintings blending with the entire building.

Ke Zhi Garden: The owner of Ke Zhi Garden, Ma Weiqi, also known as Wenqing, was born in 1853. His ancestors were salt merchants for generations. It is the largest manor-style garden building in Zhujiajiao Town, so it is commonly known as "Ma's Garden" ". The name of the garden is "Leszhi", which means "don't forget to cultivate while studying in class". When Ma Wenqing grew up, he ran his ancestral business, the copper and tin industry, and also engaged in overseas trade. He was one of the richest people in Zhujiajiao at that time. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Ma Wenqing donated a vacant official position in Daotai. In his later years, he was influenced by the prevailing trend of "purchasing land and building gardens" and began to purchase acres of land extensively. Construction began in 1912 when Ma Wenqing was 58 years old, and it was not completed until 15 years later. It cost more than 300,000 yuan in silver. The garden is located in the northwest of the ancient town, covering an area of ??96.7 acres. Its grand scale was second to none in Shanghai at that time. The floor tiles in the Yinggui Hall were imported from West Germany and were exactly the same as the floor tiles in the Nanjing Presidential Palace. Wangyue Tower and Book City are the most typical combination of Chinese and Western buildings in the garden. The stele gallery in the garden is inlaid with handwritings and stone carvings of poems, poems and letters by the four great talents of the Ming Dynasty: Tang, Zhu, Wen and Zhou. Ma Wenqing was an early adopter of Western culture, and many of his design structures and architectural decoration materials were a combination of Chinese and Western styles. This is also one of the biggest features of Ke Zhi Garden. There are many special scenes in Kezhi Garden, such as Yin-Yang Corridor, Shuangbo Pavilion (a pavilion with two wells), Baibat Pavilion, Library and Five Elders Pictures, etc.

Fangsheng Bridge and Fangsheng Pavilion: Fangsheng Bridge is the longest, largest and highest five-hole stone arch bridge in Shanghai, and is known as the "No. 1 Bridge in Shanghai". The stone arch bridge is 70.8 meters long and 7.4 meters high. , 5.8 meters wide, is also the largest five-hole stone arch bridge in East China. It is said that this is related to the sexual tide monk. There is a saying in Zhujiajiao: "Walking on the Fangsheng Bridge, you will not be old if you live to be ninety-nine." After the Fangsheng Bridge was built, monk Xingchao, in order to show the compassionate nature of Buddhist disciples, would go there every first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. Organize monks and pilgrims to hold an "aquatic animal" release meeting under the bridge. For more than 400 years, it has become a custom in the ancient town.
