Nanqiao is a major town in Fengxian district, which recent development has more than doubled in size. Of particular interest is
Guhua Park which contains the "
Three Women Temple" or "Ancestral Hall" (). During the
Zhou dynasty, the
King of Wu's three daughters hanged themselves rather than be caught by the
King of Yue's soldiers. The town is also a short taxi ride from
Xinghai Beach and its resorts, also slated for development. Nanqiao has a 1000-bed medical center, the
Fengxian District Central Hospital, which is an all-discipline tertiary hospital. Nanqiao is about 30 minutes from
downtown Shanghai by car or about 1–2 hours by public transit. It can be reached by taking the
Line 1 subway to
Xinzhuang and transferring to the
Line 5 subway to
Dongchuan Road. Alternatively, one can transfer to the Xinnan Bus at Xinzhuang, the Nanmei Line () from
Jinjiang Park to Nanqiao Bus Station (), or the Shangfeng Bus at the
Shanghai South Railway Station Station's South Square. ==Towns==
