Shanghai's First Floating Market at Panlong Tiandi

Have you ever tried shopping on the water? Shanghai's very first floating market has officially opened at Panlong Tiandi in Qingpu District! As the highlight of the "Jiangnan Scenery Season" celebrating the venue's 3rd anniversary, this unique market seamlessly blends the charm of a traditional water town with a modern weekend getaway.

Breaking the boundaries of traditional land-based markets, the Panlong Water Market features 10 themed boats docked along the river. The trendiest way to explore is by renting a kayak (approx. 280 RMB) to paddle through the vibrant market, allowing you to experience the joy of "shopping on the water"—resembling a Thai floating market but with a distinct Eastern aesthetic. Alternatively, you can take a relaxing stroll along the riverbanks to enjoy the view.

The market is bustling with life, offering a wide array of Intangible Cultural Heritage crafts, creative souvenirs, local snacks, and fresh fruits like Thai coconuts. Just a 5-minute walk from Metro Line 17, it is the perfect spot to unwind and embrace the ultimate laid-back Jiangnan vibe right at your doorstep!
