Zhujiajiao, famous for its antique alleys, old houses and some renowned gardens, began to evolve from a village to a prosperous town during the 14th century. Recently, the town went through a protection and renovation plan. The project not only affected the urban landscape, but also led to the opening of exhibition halls presenting the local culture and heritage such as the Rice Town Exhibition Hall and the Hall of Remote Antiquity culture.
