Tongli Water City is two hours by road from Shanghai, China. It is gazetted as heritage city by UNESCO. It is an old town being preserved for future generation.
Tongli has a few canals serving the residential and commercial establishments. Unlike Amsterdam or Bangkok which have wide canal, Tongli has a smaller size of canals.
It is interesting to look at Tongli where the women row the boat for a living. They are serious people wanting to uplift the standard of living.
Get on the boat to experience the canal.
Boats are parked along the canal. Note that the canal is narrow.
