Xitang Ancient Town

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

Reviewed By DazzlingSunflower - Johannesburg, South Africa

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...

Wuzhen Water Town

Wuzhen, a 1300-year-old water town on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, is a national 5A scenic area and one of China's top ten historical & cultural towns. Located on the Hangzhou-Jiaxing-Huzhou Plain in northern Zhejiang Province, it is at the center of the golden triangle consisting of Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou. Wuzhen can be easily accessed through a number of expressways and national highways. In 2001, Wuzhen was named as a candidate for UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage List. At the end of 2006, it was included in the revised List of China's Candidates for UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. In 2009, Wuzhen was named as the first PATA eco-tourism destination in Mainland China. The ancient Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows through the town, which is divided by waterways into four areas, Dongzha, Xizha, Nanzha, and Beizha. Since its foundation in 872 A.D., Wuzhen has never changed its name, location, waterways, or way of life. Traditional buildings remain intact today even after hundreds years of weathering.

took about 40mins look around Theme park. It reminds me the castle which is shown in the animation "Sen and Chihiro". Some traditional performances we could enjoy before the songcheng show. Show was amazing in terms of visual effects. I firmly recommend that you guys go and see this show if you are planing to trip to Hangzhou China
