The roots of the town date back 1.700 years. Numerous bridges from Ming and Qing Dynasty span the many canals, streams and rivers. Zhujiajiao is already for many years an important location for Chinese and foreign tourists. Old temples, ancient shops and restaurant line the lanes and the waterways. In order to stimulate tourism, the authorities invest in infrastructure to promote the new cultural industries. At the entrance to the old town, the Museum for Humanities and Arts is established as a new cultural center. | | | Agenda | 29 March, University of Sheffield School of Architecture, Sheffield | Peter L.
