About Shajiabang
Its reed maze and waterside landscape are linked with the revolutionary story popularized through the opera of the same name.
The heritage-education area and Hongshi folk-culture village provide different kinds of interpretation alongside the reeds. Start with the landscape, then choose the historical displays that interest you. Boat or performance experiences depend on the current programme and should be arranged separately from a simple grounds visit.
What to look for
- The reed maze gives the scenic area a distinctive wetland setting.
- Hongshi folk-culture village and the revolutionary-history area provide contrasting interpretation.
The surrounding area
A provincial city base for classical gardens, canals and soup-noodle breakfasts; do not confuse its old city with the distant North railway station.
