The biggest difference between Xitang and other ancient water towns is that there is a promenade in the street near the river in the ancient town, with a total length of nearly 1000 meters, just like the promenade in the Summer Palace.

Xitang has a flat terrain, dense rivers and a very quiet natural environment. There are nine rivers that meet in the town, dividing the town into eight plates, a map of Xitang.

Many bridges connect the water towns together. In ancient times, it was called "Dragon Embracing Beads" and "Four Winds".

Bird's eye view of the town, the mist is like gauze, the powder walls on both sides are towering, and the tile houses are reflected. In the evening, the setting sun shines obliquely, the fishing boat sings late, the lights are bright and the wine is overflowing. The whole ancient water town is picturesque, and people are in it.

The biggest difference between Xitang and other ancient water towns is that there is a promenade in the street near the river in the ancient town, with a total length of nearly 1000 meters, just like the promenade in the Summer Palace. Xitang, an ancient town, covers an area of 1 km2. Nine rivers crisscross the ancient town area, dividing the ancient town into eight blocks, among which 27 ancient bridges connect the towns. In the long years of spring, summer, autumn and winter, sunny, rainy and snowy, the ancient town has always presented a constantly changing painting of water town customs, in which "people are in the water, bridges are on the water, pedestrians are walking on the bridge, boats are walking under the bridge, shops are standing at the bridge head, and there are reflections in the water". Xitang is located in the water network. The residents here cherish the soil as much as gold. Whether it's a business company, a residential building or a building, they care about the area inch by inch, and the space between houses is minimized, thus forming more than 20 long narrow alleys with a length of more than 100 meters and a width of less than 1 meter, forming a number of "first days". At the same time, the names of streets and lanes vividly reflect the prosperity of commerce and the characteristics of ancient towns and lanes, such as Mixingdai, Dengzhu Street, Youche Lane, Chaitan Lane and Shipilong, which are directly related to the commerce and architecture of that year. In Xitang, the verandah built by the river is the most attractive. The streets here are built by the river, and the business of shops is also done by the river. In the past, farmers in water towns traveled by river instead of by boat, and many transactions could only be carried out on the shore of the boat. As a result, a special kind of building, the veranda shed, came into being. It connects rivers and shops, which can shelter from the wind and rain and be passed down from generation to generation. The utility corridor is a unique building in the water town. Xitang has reserved a veranda with a length of more than 1.300 meters, which has become a leisure feast for contemporary people to enjoy ancient exploration. Xitang is in Tang, Xitang is in.

Villages and towns were formed in the Song Dynasty. By the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Xitang had developed into a prosperous market town by virtue of the land of plenty, the economic foundation of the Silk Road and the convenience of waterways. Kiln industry, rice market, food industry and ceramics industry are booming. Many ancient houses existing in the ancient town are the crystallization of the ancestors of the ancient town who became rich at that time. At the beginning, the passage of Xitang was mainly by waterway, and there was little external interference, so Xitang can perfectly preserve the ancient town so far and let the inheritance of ancestors continue. Xitang is a civilian town, everything is so simple, without the prosperity of Zhouzhuang, the richness of the south and the strong commercial atmosphere! But the unique charm of Xitang intoxicated overnight travelers!

It is said that every newlywed couple who walks across the bridge, male left and female right, can be blessed. In addition, this bridge is harmoniously called "Drip Bridge" and "Lover Bridge". The former can remind people of rainy days, take a rest here and send the children to Phoenix Bridge.

Wouldn't a drink be better? Slope. Of course, men go up the stairs step by step, and women take one small step and three inches of golden lotus, which is secure. The old people said, "The newlyweds take a walk, the children are sent to the south, and the phoenix comes to the north." If you don't have children after marriage, you might as well take a walk. Meryl, the heroine of the international movie star The Bridges of Madison County, came to Xitang and took the covered bridge. Now every weekend or holiday, local opera fans will entertain themselves on the bridge, playing and singing, reflecting the leisure of Jiangnan water town to the fullest.
