In fact, you can enter from the Sujia Alley entrance, a 2/3-minute walk to the Misty Corridor, and the second parking lot is next to the entrance, but parking spaces are limited. It is also convenient to enter and exit from the nearby Tangjia Alley and Wangjia Alley. ▫️The scenic area is not very large, with one east-west parallel river street (main attractions), and one north-south parallel river street, both have Misty Corridors.

A Tango jumped between the white walls and the tiles, and rushed through the smoke and rain corridors. He also brought the beauty of this small town in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, along with "Mission Impossible 3" to the world. Far away from the water town, white wall ink top, boat shadow wave, in the mist of the smudge is just like a light color of rice paper; into the ancient town, the gallery is old, the hall is deep, seems to have entered a long history... Under the gallery, listening to the sound of the rain ticking, in the skin, looking for the original romance, or riding a small boat, of course, Xitang is not silent, the West Street and the small shop under the smoke and rain corridor connected to a family, Tang East Street is the world of bars in the evening, although the commercial atmosphere of Xitang has made it no longer the tranquility of the past, but it can still get up early, or find a non-holiday day, calm down and feel your own Xitang.

The bridges in Xitang are all kinds of, from the "Wolong Bridge" built in the Ming Dynasty to the "send the son to the Fengqiao" that was given the good fortune, and then to the famous Wanan Bridge in the Hollywood blockbuster "Mission Impossible Three"... A bridge is an epic. The managers of Xitang today are also very wise. In the era of great construction of various scenic spots, Xitang is generally protected as a treasure, and the bridges are also the most primitive. The bridges we set foot with the charm of the millennium history, the times have changed, the historical scene is being performed every day, but the bridge of Xitang is forgotten by the time, today is like yesterday.

The beauty of Jiangnan is always inseparable from water. The water is the elf of Jiangnan, the dream of Xitang, the soul of Xitang. This time I checked out the Xitang Huaxiang, there are many petty bourgeoisie shops, it is worth stopping and enjoying the slow pace of life... Flower Lane has Starbucks, DQ, KFC, a little bit, Antler Lane, these They are the only brand shops. After drinking, drinking a cup of coffee here and chatting with friends is really pleasant... In addition to drinks, there are many other foods: Chunxi Alley Food Street, Chuanguo Wang Spicy Pot, food still old Beijing noodles, snow queen, Jinyun biscuits... tasted a lot of home, the taste is very good. There is also a favorite clothing store called grass-colored smoke, the original sitting on the original cotton and linen clothes, I have to say that the designer is really amazing, as soon as I enter the store, I have seen a lot of clothes! The last recommended hotel is Huazhu. Hehe Jingshe, located in the north gate of Xitang Scenic Area, inside the Huaxiang, the whole environment is very quiet and the service is thoughtful!

This ancient town has come again and again, but it is not tired, and there is a kind of feeling that is probably called a water town. Jiangnan woman Sven soft, more light and beautiful, it is like this Xitang smoke. High wall courtyard, classical garden, smoke and rain corridor, rocking boat, projecting the taste of Xitang in different time between light and shadow. is bound to go, the first time when I was young, there is no such bustling crowd, patted the ball through the middle, I feel that this is a great way, turn around, see the home grandmother open the door Take a stall, sell things, and reveal a historical taste from the house. There are countless bridges in Xitang, or there are countless bridges in the water towns. Take a leaf boat, hold a paper umbrella, shake a fan, and then pass through the bridge, on the water, in front of the house. The shops on the shore are lined up, changing the Hanfu clothes, taking a few shots, and there are some tastes of crossing.

If it is said that the Jiangnan ancient town can accommodate the Jiangnan gardens only in the same place, then it is completely wrong. In Xitang, there is a very inconspicuous private garden hidden in an alley. This private garden is like a worldly paradise. The desire to construct a diverticulum to avoid red dust can get very strong hair growth here. This is the West Park of Xitang that Yamano Jun wants to share with all of his friends. In the country, especially in the area of the south of the Yangtze River, the name is called Xiyuan. What is different in this West Park in Xitang is that the gate of this private garden is in the alley. Most people dont pay too much attention to a certain door in the alley here, and they dont know that its inside the door. There is such a vast space, in such a large space can also be placed in such a large-scale courtyard, and is the mansion and courtyard of the big family. When you are walking in the hustle and bustle of the ancient town of Xitang or seeing the waters with the same scenery, perhaps the entire Xitang ancient town is no different from other ancient towns. However, fortunately, Xitang is different from other ancient towns. Apart from the highly localized button museum, this is an amazing West Park. Xiyuan is located in Sujiaong, the core of Xitang Ancient Town Scenic Spot. It is a unique architectural style and a cultural heritage in Jiangnan Alley. It is generally a very narrow alley. The alleys here generally leave gaps between the two buildings, so that the gaps can only be used by one person. This one is only one person with a narrow shoulder width. Because the alley is too narrow to distinguish the difference from the alley, Changed the name to get. The gates of the West Park as a large family home and private gardens are not in the bustling and spacious streets and alleys, but in the alleys where only one person can pass. It is conceivable how deeply the West Park is. After entering the gate, you will be very surprised to find that the space inside is so large, in addition to the spacious, bright and atmospheric palace-style aisle, there are many rockeries and creeks. A luxurious and beautiful Jiangnan private house garden appeared in front of people's eyes. If you continue walking, you will find that there are many houses inside, and there are houses in different functional areas. I really didn't expect to enter such an amazing garden in the door of the alley. In addition to retaining the original buildings and cultural relics, the West Garden has added a lot of museums about the history and stories of Xitang from a thousand years ago to a thousand years ago. During this period, you can not only read the ancient cable, but also feel the rich and luxurious living environment of this big family. The real harvest is not as big as it is. I think everyone will love it after visiting the West Park. Therefore, Yamano strongly suggested that you must come to the West Garden to see and see the historical culture and the living cultural relics of the private gardens in Jiangnan. Finally, some simple Raiders information about Xiyuan is classified as follows. Although they are all in the scenic spot in the ancient town of Xitang, the necessary information is still worth sharing. 1, About the ticket price: Xitang Ancient Town Scenic Spot The West Garden Scenic Spot ticket is a joint ticket system with the Xitang Ancient Town Scenic Area Gate. The on-site price is 100 yuan and the online price is 80 yuan. Online said that the West Park alone to buy a ticket of 10 yuan is true or not yet confirmed, or it is recommended to buy a joint ticket is more reliable. 2, West Park opening hours: West Park opening hours are based on the seasonal system, which is the summer and autumn 08

Xitang Travelogue

Xitang Travelogue: Actually, the ancient towns in China are quite similar to each other, except that I feel Wuzhen has the best management, the others are more or less the same. I chose to go to Xitang during the Chinese New Year mainly because Xitang is really close to Shanghai. Hotel we stayed at: Xitang Light Year Hotel The price during the Chinese New Year period is more expensive than usual, with an average price of 750 per room The hotel environment is not bad, but the rooms are very small The service is good, but there are very few breakfast options Recommended activities: Boat ride, Photography, Stinky tofu The boat ride is a must-do activity for us when visiting ancient towns, it's relaxing and the kids love it It was the first time I took the kids to take photos in Hanfu (there are a lot of shops in the scenic area, with similar prices, we also chose one based on feeling, and the effect was quite good). Actually, the photographers are shared among different shops. The dining in Xitang didn't have any particularly surprising restaurants, the dishes were basically the same, and the taste was also similar. However, I would recommend Guan Lao Tai stinky tofu (the official store). I personally think the taste is particularly good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and I ate it for two days in a row. I wouldn't really recommend other categories. The thing I drank the most every day was fresh sugarcane juice, which is actually not very cost-effective at more than twenty yuan per cup, but after all, it's in the scenic area. There's a small jade museum that's quite nice
