Dear MARK ANCHOR,
The most ancient water district is Gufang Pond, Ou River Irrigation Project with a long history of more than 1770 years.
Hope it helps.
It is performed twice a day, respectively from 18:30 to 19:30 and from 20:30 to 21:30.
I would like suggest you visit Wuzhen. It is more local and less commercial.

Hi CJ, since there is no train from Shanghai to Wuzhen, I think the most convenient way is take a bus from Shanghai Southern Bus Station. Wuzhen in Chinese is 乌镇，you can show this note to the ticket seller when you buy the tickets. The tickets is available at the second half of October. No worries.
