A small ancient town on water that still preserves its original look.

For some of us who might feel a need to get away from the concrete jungle of Shanghai, then add this on your to do list. A much needed escape to see more of what this beautiful and historic country has to offer. The river town of Xitang is in Zhejiang Province and is only 101km from Shanghai. It is a reasonable and quick trip. From Hongqiao Railway Station take a train to Jiashan nan by high speed train (30RMB). There are long ticket lines so be patient and arrive at least 40 minutes prior to your departure. The trip was less than 25 minutes and super comfortable with great leg room. Not sure why planes don't have such comfortable space. 25 minutes high speed train 30 RMB 30 minutes by bus K222 to Xitang 20 RMB Decent hotel Yha China 240 RMB per night Entrance fee to the town museums 100 RMB per day 15 minutes boat river cruise 30 RMB The food is everywhere and super cheap Magical Xitang is picturesque and captivatingly tranquil. It is a cultural and historical river town with a history of over a thousand years. I was transported to simplicity, warm kind people and good wholesome food and customs. It was a wet day when we arrived. Apparently it is the best time to travel around the water town as many poets got their inspiration during the rainy days. This is a town full of poetry, paper cutting art and button making etc. Walk around the narrow covered streets and you will be transported back in time. Words cannot capture the uplifted and rejuvenated spirit of being surrounded by healing waters, tranquility and captured in awe of walking through this town. This is why I came to China in the first place. To see the stories and life that was beautifully written and delivered in the movies we saw growing up. Enjoy your mini city escape...

It offers beautiful scenery, but the lake itself is so small that taking boat ride is almost not worth it. Nothing really to see except if you go up the mountain... with the pathway not that well maintained .

Smaller and less famous than Hangzhou's famous Westlake, Xiang Lake is a gorgeous place to relax without the crowds one typically finds at its more famous neighbor to the north. In addition to peaceful surroundings, Xiang Lake has a water park, ocean world, restaurants, hotels, sightseeing boats, an archeological museum and a gorgeous pottery gallery and studio built on the remnants of a very old and very big kiln.

obviously if you in shanghai for a couple of days you cant visit all water towns. so you have to decide which one to visit. nanxun was a great choice. loved it. its quite different than other water towns i heard. best thing for me was very few tourists in comparison to the more famous towns. loved the old houses of rich residents, the water canals, the bridges and the boat ride in it. i will definitely recommend this one. you wont feel disappointed.
10. Jiaxing Ancient Canal
