"Jinshan is a lovely place to live," says Chen Zheng'an, vice director of Jinshan District. "It has rich ancient folk culture, idyllic villages and natural scenery where people can relax. We even have a sandy beach for summer getaways."

The district is famous for its man-made beach and man-made seaside rocks as well as seaside eating and recreation.

The area's history goes back 6,000 years when Liangzhu culture was born, and offers historical sites such as Donglin Temple and Fengjing Ancient Town where people can step back in time. Folk art and local custom attract visitors from downtown.

The scenery is beautiful and the traffic is light in the relatively remote suburb.

But getting to Jinshan is getting easier.

The Shanghai-Hangzhou High-speed Railway is expected to open in October, greatly shortening the transport between Jinshan and Zhejiang Province.

The Jinshan inter-city railway will provide fast transport from downtown when it opens next year. It will only take around 30 minutes to reach Shanghai South Railway Station, 45 minutes to reach Xujiahui and an hour to reach People's Square, according to Chen, vice director of Jinshan District.
