No.9 Xitang Water Town

Xitang lies in Jiashan county in Jiaxing city in Zhejiang province.

Cobbled streets, old buildings, bridges arching over canals, rowing boats lingering on the river, and locals singing folk songs are the features of Xitang.

Mornings in Xitang bring fresh air and light fog; during the evening, the setting sun casts a rosy glow on the old tiled roofs. Couples can have a good time all day long.
