A tourism resort project in Zhujiajiao ancient town, an 4A tourist attraction in Qingpu District, went into operation over the weekend.
The complex features minsu (a Chinese version of B&B) with private gardens, MICE venues, catering, hotsprings and weekend markets.
Its design draws inspiration from depictions of the flourishing scenes of the Zhujiajiao market in the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368), and the prosperous views of the water town as a granary distribution center at that time.
The unique structure of local gucang used to store grain in ancient times was introduced into the design of the project.
Zhongnan Group, a leading construction and engineering company which developed the project, and Blossom House, a high-end resort brand of Huazhu Group, one of China's biggest multi-brand hotel chain management groups, inked a cooperation agreement over the weekend in Zhujiajiao to promote industry upgrades and bring about a leisure lifestyle vacation experience to tourists.
