Explore the stunning ancient town of Xitang with this travel guide.

1. Highly recommend staying at the homestay near the entrance of parking lot 3. The advantage is that it's quiet and you can walk through the whole area, and it's also close to the bar street. Most tourists enter from the entrance of parking lot 1, which is overcrowded. The entrance of parking lot 3 unexpectedly has fewer people. It is not recommended to stay at the homestays in the middle of the scenic area, especially for backpackers with large luggage. You can choose a teahouse or a café to enjoy the scenery along the river. On the night of February 29th at 9 o'clock, I entered the scenic area and took a walk around. Except for the bar street, there weren't many people. I woke up at 8 o'clock in the morning, and the weather turned sunny and cool. I took another careful walk around while there weren't many tourists in the morning. As more and more people came at noon, I was almost done with my visit and ready to leave for Nanhu Hotel to attend my friend's wedding. 3. If you plan to play for a few more days, it is recommended to enter the day before and find a bar or pub to have fun. Get up early the next day and take a walk around, then find a shop with a terrace in the afternoon to enjoy a cup of afternoon tea quietly. Wait until night to enjoy a stroll and the night scenery of Jiangnan. Xitang Scenic Area
