Wow! Zhouzhuang is nice. But a word of advice to the organizers - Please make sure you reach ZZ before 10am in the morning. After the place will be flooded with tourists, making photo-taking very difficult. Also, in June, it is summer time, so expect number of tourists to be a lot more and they will show up earlier. I went there at around 9:35am in winter time. Sure it is cold and a little foggy, but there are almost no tourists when I get there. For the adventurous, I suggest staying there overnight and take pictures at dusk/dawn, when the place is almost beautiful.

Good luck an enjoy your photo trip! Too bad I cannot join this package as I live in Shanghai currently. Let me know if you want more ideas on where to take pictures in Shanghai apart from the Bund and ZZ.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

la lor zz is very beautiful! Last year when I was there in the afternoon, there were many tourist. But cos the place is so big, tourist move from one attraction to another. I was pleasantly surprised, we found many deserted corners and nostalgic locations for my own private shoot .

Great for you to drop by and tip us. Keep in contact.

No problem. Glad to share my experiences with all the CSers.

Were you there during summer? Another watertown you can visit, which is very close to ZZ (10km away) is TongLi. Many movies are shot there. Also very close by ZZ is this garden/lake place called Shanghai Da Guan Yuan.

Suggestions for other venues in Shanghai are:

1. Dong Tai Road open air Antique market. Interesting place to get pics. I like this place more than Yuyuan/ChengHuangMiao. Close to the bund and yuyuan. Very short taxi ride.

2. BingJiangDaDao. This is the other side of the Huangpu river. It is right by Shangri-La hotel and Dongfangmingzhu. It is newer and nicer, with restaurants, beer house and HagenDaaz. View is excellent. You can take the underground TIme-tunnel(shiguangshuidao) at the underpass at the bund to get to the other side, will cost you a 30 RMB each way though.

3. You can get excellent bird's eye view of Shanghai and the bund on top of Dongfangmingzhu. At the observation deck you have to shoot through glass but the better way is to walk down the exit stairs to one level below. You can now access another deck on the foodcourt level. This side there are wires protecting the openings but big enough for your lens can poke thru!! To go up to observation deck (not the top deck) on Dongfangmingzhu is 85 RMB per pax.

4. Hengshan Road area. From the bund take a MRT to People's square, transit to Line 1, go south to Hengshan Lu station. You will be in the French quarter of Shanghai. Sycamore trees line the streets and in Autumn they turn red and yellow and leaves fall. Old shanghai is here. very Romantic!

If you need more let me know!

Watertowns:

I absolutely love water-towns. For those stay longer or coming back in the future on your own. Check these out. In terms of watertowns worth seeing are:

Zhouzhuang - in Suzhou area. Most well known, commercialized and crowded by tourists.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhouzhuang
My Zhouzhuang pics on Flickr

Wu Zhen - in Zhejiang province. The most unspoilt and uncommercialized watertown of all.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuzhen

Tong Li - 10KM from Zhouzhuang. Quite small.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongli,_Suzhou

Xi Tang - in Jiashan (close to Jiaxing), Zhejiang province. 1 hour from Shanghai. Small.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xitang

Zhu Jia Jiao - in Shanghai countryside between Zhouzhuang and Shanghai. Very new. Too new in fact. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhujiajiao
My Zhujiajiao pics on Flickr

Fengjing - in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province. This is not as well preserved but nice too.

By the way, just in case some of you are wondering. The movie Mi:3 is filmed in the XiTang watertown. This is view of where Tom Cruise was running down the corridor along the water.
