Xitang is located in Tangxi Town, Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province. Many tourists don't know that Xitang belongs to Zhejiang Province. I thought it was from Shanghai before I did my homework. But Xitang is not generally close to Shanghai, it is located at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. In ancient times, Xitang was called Xutang.

Accommodation: There are many hotels in Xitang Scenic Area, and the accommodation conditions are different. You need to find your own room according to your own requirements. There are plenty of rooms in Xitang on non-holidays at ordinary times. You can go here first and then choose a room.
There are two kinds of rooms: one is near the river and the other is not. As the name implies, the price on weekdays is slightly higher than 150. Depending on the decoration, the price on weekends and holidays is higher than 260. Those who don't face the river are usually in the alley by the river. The room is bigger and quieter.

Driving by car is more troublesome. It seems that they will forcibly enter the parking lot of the ticket hall directly at the gate. However, when you went there before, the innkeeper told us that we could navigate the Xiding Highway and walk to the alley north of Xitang. The car stopped at the side of the road and walked into the scenic spot. You can enter from the entrance of Wolong Bridge, which is the center of the scenic spot and more convenient than other entrances.
Brief introduction of Xitang scenic spot
The stone skin is 68 meters long and is paved with 2 16 stone slabs with a thickness of only 3 cm. It's the corridor between Wang Jiazunwen Hall and Zhongfutang Hall. According to research, there is a sewer under the stone road in the lane, and there is no water in rainy days. Slates as thin as skin are the skin of sewers, so they are called skindragons. Its widest point is 1. 1 m, and its narrowest point is only 0.8m.. If two fat people meet in an alley, even if it is a narrow sky, it may not be easy to cross, so Shipi Lane has the saying that Xitang is "endless".
Longest Lane: Sixian Ancestral Hall Lane in Beizha Street, with a total length of 236 meters. The narrowest alley: Wildcat Long, which is located on the edge of Huanxiu Bridge, with a maximum length of 30 cm, is the gap between two houses. Widest driveway: Located in the north of Shao Xiang Port, along Lizhai Avenue, it can accommodate 5.5 people walking side by side. The shortest alley: the house alley in Yuqingtang, where the Ming and Qing Woodcarving Museum is located, is only 3 meters long.
The misty rain corridor is located in the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, and scattered corridor streets with several households in one can be seen everywhere. But Langjie 1, more than 300 meters long, only Xitang. The corridor street in Xitang has shops or houses on one side and rivers on the other. There is a small river near the corridor street, which twists and turns and is very emotional. Stepping into the corridor street, you are greeted by government boats on both sides of the strait and river ports crowding round. If it rains, the rain drops on the eaves to form a long rain curtain, and even people who can't write poetry will suddenly be full of poetry. There is no official record about the origin of the corridor street, only two versions of "built for lang" and "built for charity" circulated by the people.
Some of the verandahs are by the river, some are in the middle, some have long orange backs along the river for people to rest, and some have crossed the street to form the roof of the verandah. It can be said that it is a unique scenery in the ancient town.
The former site of Xiyuan Xitang Xiyuan is located in Jijia Lane, West Street. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu's family operated it alone and then sold it. There are trees, flowers, rockeries, pavilions and ponds in the park with beautiful scenery. There is a "Tingtaoxuan" teahouse on the rockery on the east side, so it is named because there is 1 Pinus bungeana on the rockery, which is several feet high and the wind comes and the millet falls. 1in March, 990, in memory of Liu Yazi's visit to Xiyuan, a park with a total area of 16.6 mu was built in the west hill of the town, named Xiyuan. There is a small bridge and a lion hall at the entrance to the park, and there is a brick veranda around the park.
Waterfront, curved bridge, rockery, pavilion, artificial waterfall. Several inns built next to this scenic spot are also named after it, such as Xiyuan Yaju, Xiyuan Inn, Xiyuan Post Office and so on.
There is a true love story in Xitang Wuguniang Theme Park. At the end of Qing Dynasty, Miss Yangjiadi of Dong Tang Village fell in love with Xu Atian, a long-term worker, who was opposed by her half-brother and persecuted to death. Later, her love story was compiled into Tian Ge, which has been sung here for more than one hundred years. Dewar Pavilion is a tile pavilion specially baked by Xu Atian when he was working as a kiln to express his unique love for five girls. There is a bell hanging in the pavilion, engraved with the scene where the two of them met here and the words of love at first sight.
Protecting the country with Liangwang Temple is called "Seven Grandpa Temple", and the third day of the fourth lunar month is the birthday of Seven Grandpa every year. There will be a temple fair in Xitang. They carried the two palaces of seven lords and seven mothers out of the temple gate. From eleven o'clock in the evening, they each cruised according to the predetermined route. Flags are flying all the way, gongs and drums are loud, and firecrackers are ringing. Tents were set up in many places where the Seventh Master and the Seventh Lady passed by, so that they could take a break in their tents and get confessions. It was not until the next afternoon that they returned to the temple. And began to perform a three-day drama in the temple. There are many leaf-shaped sachets hanging in seven old Temple, which are called autumn leaves, because autumn symbolizes a bumper harvest. This is also the best time to experience Xitang life.
Nizhai is located in the south of Xiangxiang Port, and Nijia is a scholarly family in the town. Ni Zhai enters five places in front and back, with a veranda in front and a garden in the back. The main hall is called "Chengqing Hall". Xitang town has a profound cultural background and rich cultural resources of clean government. On this basis, make full use of these resources, combine the promotion of excellent clean government culture with the promotion of the party's fine clean government tradition, and build a clean government culture education base. At present, newly renovated "Ni Tianzeng ancestral home" and Yuqian Hangzhou ancestral temple, Ningbo Qingfeng Garden, Jiaxing Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Hall and other units 10 have been named as the first batch of "Zhejiang Clean Government Culture and Education Bases".
Songzi Laifeng Bridge and Wolong Bridge
Wolong Bridge: This bridge is a single-hole stepped stone bridge with a total length of 31.46m, a width of 5m and a height of 5m. This is the most famous bridge in town.
Songzi Laifeng Bridge: This bridge is a covered bridge, which was built in the tenth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1637), rebuilt in the forty-eighth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (17 10) and rebuilt in the fifteenth year of Daoguang (1836). It is said that when the bridge was about to be built, a very beautiful big bird flew and stopped at the top of the bridge. As soon as the bridge was built, a family living by the bridge gave birth to a son, thinking it was good luck brought by the new bridge. The locals also called this bridge Songzi Bridge. First come to Phoenix, then send the children. Because of the preference for boys, I asked to send my son to Phoenix Bridge.
Ceramic tile is a kind of building decoration fittings with simple materials. It is difficult to preserve and has a long history. There are more than 300 varieties in the museum, such as lace dripping water, chopsticks cages, walking chickens, brick carvings, ancient bricks and pottery figurines, among which there are traditional tiles with good wishes; There are religious temples and political patterns that indicate a certain historical period.
Xitang Zhangzhenggen Sculpture Museum is a treasure trove of geomantic omen, which is suitable for recuperation and can inspire artists.

Master Zhang Zheng's works are seven points natural and three points human, and more than 500 large-scale works are listed as "the best in Guinness". Master Zhang Zheng has entered the World Who's Who with his exquisite skills and fearless spirit, and is known as the "son of the East".
Wine Culture Museum, Xitang and Guzhen are a wine town in history. "Drinking good wine and reciting good poems" has always been the two major pursuits of many ancient literati. In the early Ming Dynasty, Gao Qi, a great poet, crossed Xitang by boat and stopped to ask about the restaurant. In the Qing Dynasty, the town's famous wine "Plum Blossom and Three Whites" was well known. In the early years of the Republic of China, Liu Yazi drank the wine culture of the small town and Xitang many times, which can be said to be in sync with the ancient town.
Button Museum, Xitang is the hometown of buttons in China, with nearly 500 button manufacturers, accounting for 40% of the national production and trading volume. Button Pavilion is located in West Street, with six exhibition halls: ancient buttons, modern buttons, modern buttons, shell buttons making technology, buttons application and Chinese knots. The opening of the Button Museum has turned a brand-new page in the history of buttons in China, and added a new landscape to Xitang, the hometown of buttons.
The hot spots in the ancient town of Tang Xi show that the hot spots in the scenic spots wander to the depths of every alley in Xitang. When traveling in Xitang, it is best to meet the rain in Mao Mao. In the drizzle, the Millennium ancient town exudes the flavor of the south of the Yangtze River, strolling in several narrow alleys, holding an oilcloth umbrella and wandering alone in this long rainy lane. The bluestone slabs under your feet were polished by rain, and the white walls and tiles, carved windows and cornices, black columns and brown doors, and wooden houses all restored the original appearance of Xitang, making you inadvertently.
The elegant feeling of being integrated into the common life in Jiangnan makes people feel lazy unconsciously, and they have to stay at Yishui for one night.
Let's talk about the food in Xitang.
1. Qian's tofu flower, which was searched online before, was found in Xitang snack street, but was not found when I went looking for it with my friends. Finally, I asked the local aunt to know that it was in the northernmost part of the bar street. It tasted ordinary, but it didn't feel particularly amazing. What is said online is too delicious and expectations are too high. But you can try the characteristics of Xitang. 5 yuan yiwan
2. Lushi wonton is still in the snack street, but there is no such open-air booth. Maybe stalls are not allowed in Xitang. The boss has many commemorative photos, all of which are in harmony with tourists. The earliest stall in Xitang is at the end of the east side of West Street in the scenic spot. The taste is ok. 5 yuan yiwan
I like the sweet cake in Xitang. I bought some cakes at the entrance of Yu Yan Corridor, such as forest cake and Zhu Yi gorgon cake. I feel that the first two are more famous, and they are more expensive to sell. 10 yuan is a box, and the last one is a box in 8 yuan, with similar quality, but Zhu Yi is very popular.
4. Turn off the old lady's stinky tofu. I looked at the stall selling stinky tofu in Xitang, which was very embarrassing. I asked the innkeeper and learned that the authentic old lady Guan tofu is at the entrance of Pingqiao Scenic Area and the east exit of West Street. I ate it several times and compared it. The authenticity of the feeling is mainly reflected in the hot sauce. The price is about eight in 5 yuan.
5. Xitang mallet crisp, bought by the way when buying Euryale ferox cake. Zhu Yi's clothes are freshly made, which is more delicious. He has a mallet made of crisp mallets at home, and he looks very tired. But it is delicious.
6. Spicy chicken, a special dish, is only available locally in Xitang. And only in Xitang, a dreamy water town, it is said to be an ancestral secret recipe. Everyone in the shop said it was over 30 years old and delicious. You can try.
7. White water fish is a famous local seafood in Jiaxing. The local name is white silk fish. Personally, I think it is a homonym of the local dialect. I suggest you try.
8. The oily crab in June is delicious and locally called June Red. There was a lot of crab roe that month, and the general price was about one piece in 25 yuan, or about three taels. I think the local crab rice wine is the best.
9. Salt and pepper pumpkins are generally around 15 yuan, which is relatively cheap. I like this dish very much. After eating three places, I felt that the dream water town and the old product store were better.
10. Send the dragon's hoof, hence the name Sisi Lee. It is said that eating this dish will have more children and live longer. The hooves are big and not very oily, but it's better not to order this dish or pack it home. Otherwise, you can't finish it.
1 1. Dried plum biscuits, in the biscuit shop under Laifeng Bridge in Songzi, feel delicious, 3 yuan each. I still want to eat now.
I stayed in Xitang for three days, especially in the inn in the scenic spot. The room is quite good, so I won't nominate any one. Old Pinfang, Qiantang Family, Li Meng Water Town and xiang tang introduced online. I tried everything.
Qiantang people have the best environment, and there are many seats near the river, which are on Beizha Street and under Yongning Bridge, but the price is a bit expensive and the taste is generally not as amazing as the legend.
Dream water town, next to Qiantang family is dream water town. The storefront is not big, but it is as popular as Qiantang's family, and there are fewer seats. If you want to rely on the river, you should catch up early. The food tastes good, and the spicy chicken is fresh in people's memory. It seems that the delicious food is not available anywhere else in Xitang. I think you must try this dish when you come to Xitang, and the price is not expensive. More recommended.
Xiang tang is located near Huanxiu Bridge, which is easy to find, but the price is not cheap. The weight is really in line with the scenic hotel, and the characteristics of this hotel can be summarized in a few words.
Laopinfang is in the back section of Beizha Street. The environment is average, the dishes are ready, but the price of vegetables is cheap, and of course the weight is not much. I feel that the sanitary conditions are poor and cheaper.
