杨家埠风筝厂
Inside the museum and factory, you will witness traditional kite making and production in a traditional Chinese setting of small gardens, old buildings and a slower pace of life. It's a good idea to buy your own kite at one of the shops outside of the factory (along the road) as it is generally cheaper here than in the city or in the factory.

坊茨小镇
Fangtze Eurotown is the name given to the city's former foreign concession. It was established in 1898 as a German concession. In 1914, following the outbreak of World War I, the Japanese displaced the Germans and turned it into a Japanese concession. It remained in Japanese hands until the end of World War II. Today the area is a tourist attraction and a national heritage site. There are around 166 colonial-era buildings, including 103 German-built buildings and 63 Japanese-built buildings. Notable buildings include the German-built Fangtze Railway Station, the German Army Hospital and the German Army Headquarters.
