1. Xitang Scenic Area Xitang is located in the north of Jiashan County, at the intersection of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. This is a famous thousand-year-old town. In Xitang, you can savor the slow life here, you can drink tea and listen to songs in the teahouse, you can also take a paddle boat to see various reflections in the water after putting on a stunning coat in Xitang at night, or you can sit down in a bar and find a little quaint modernity. Even the wooden boat standing on the bridge overlooking the stream, overlooking the whole roof, or wandering aimlessly under the veranda, is a kind of enjoyment. There are many local residents living in this ancient town. You will often see grandma washing clothes by the river and grandpa playing chess under the veranda. Life is quite rich. Numerous ancient bridges, Gu Xiang, are the characteristics of Xitang, and there are cloisters everywhere (roofed streets, also called "rain corridors"). On one side of many corridors are shops and houses selling specialties, ornaments and snacks, and on the other side are rivers. Some corridors have benches on one side, so you can sit down and rest when you are tired. The corridor from Songzi Laifeng Bridge to Beizha Street is the most classic. The veranda in Xitang has the reputation of "misty and rainy corridor". If it is rainy season, you can sit under the veranda, enjoy Xitang in the misty rain and feel the tenderness of Jiangnan water town. There are more than 100 old alleys with different lengths in Xitang. Most of them are paved with slate. Some of them have towering walls on both sides, some are wide and some are narrow. Among them, Shipi Lane with a width of only 1 m is the most famous. You can go in and experience the crowded feeling of tourists passing by, and you can also feel the quietness of the alley. There are nearly 100 Zhong Shiqiao lying across the rivers in Xitang, and Yongning Bridge is the best in Xitang.

2, misty rain corridor

Corridor is also called rain corridor, which is found in many ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The appearance seems to be a street with a wooden column and a tile roof. The veranda in Xitang is the most distinctive, because as long as you walk along the river in the ancient town, there will always be a veranda overhead to shelter you from the wind and rain. Especially on rainy days, walking under the veranda listening to the sound of rain and enjoying the misty scenery outside the veranda is full of artistic conception, so the veranda in Xitang has the reputation of "misty and rainy corridor". Most of the pavilions in Xitang are built by the river. Walking in the corridor, you can visit various shops along the street, and there is a river on the other side. Sometimes there are paddle boats carrying tourists slowly. Some verandahs also have benches with backs for people to rest, and there are several stone bridges between the verandahs on both sides of the river. Walking under the veranda, or looking for a teahouse by the river to set up two chairs and sit by the river, enjoying the river wind and chatting with tea, is definitely a fairy-like leisure. The total length of the verandah in Xitang is nearly 1000 meters, and some verandahs are in the middle between buildings, with shops and houses next to each other on both sides. But the most beautiful landscape is the veranda along the river. Among them, the verandah in Dai Nan starts from Beilan in the east and reaches Laifeng Bridge in Songzi in the west, which has a history of hundreds of years and is the most classic. In the movie "Mission Impossible 3", the scene of Tom Cruise sending his son all the way to the Phoenix Bridge was taken in this corridor.

3. Send your son to Phoenix Bridge

Songzi Laifeng Bridge is located on the east side of Xiaotong Street in Xitang Scenic Area, and the locals also call it "Qingyu Bridge". First, it connects the misty and rainy corridor, which is at the core of the ancient town tour; Second, because of its unique shape, it has the meaning of "sending a phoenix" and is a must-see place among many ancient bridges in Xitang. This is a three-hole stone slab bridge with a width of about 10 meter. There is a shelter at the top of the bridge, with guardrails and long stone benches on both sides. You can have a rest here when you are tired, and it is also very good to take pictures of the scenery. It is particularly worth mentioning that the flower wall in the middle of the bridge divides the whole bridge into north and south sides. On the south is a ladder, which means that men are promoted step by step; The north side is a slope, which is suitable for ancient women to walk in small steps with three inches of golden lotus, meaning steady housekeeping. Therefore, there is still a saying that "whenever newlyweds cross this bridge, they will send their children to the south and come to the phoenix in the north". Couples who want to have children might as well take a walk and ask for a good sign. In addition, Songzi Laifeng Bridge is also one of the two cruise terminals in Guzhen. Whether it is a day trip or a night trip to the ancient town, it is a good experience to take the Wu Peng boat.

4. Burning Hong Kong

Huoshaogang is the earliest prosperous center of Tang Xi ancient town. The river was named after the one that burned Hong Kong. The river from Lujiaqiao to Five Blessingg Bridge is called burning Hong Kong, and the streets on the north and south sides of Hong Kong are called burning Hong Kong North Street and South Street, which are collectively called burning Hong Kong. There are temples in North Street, and there are Fuyuan Palace and Dongyue Temple on Five Blessingg Bridge, where incense is flourishing. Houses in Hong Kong are basically preserved in Ming and Qing Dynasties, with long rivers and stone ports embedded in stone revetments. In the continuous houses, a Gu Xiang leads to the river before reaching the field, with a winding path in the middle. In the north of Hong Kong, there are commercial streets along Li's big alley, small alley and hutong. There are Fenbang Alleys in the south of Hong Kong. The word "Hong Kong" that burned Hong Kong has two meanings: one is street, and the other is river port. In the early days, it was a place where rich people lived, so the architecture in Hong Kong has a remarkable feature: the threshold is particularly high, more than a foot, and it is made of all stone. Walking on the street by the water, you can see the ancient buildings, as if you have returned to that era.

5. Xiyuan

Xiyuan is the largest private garden in the ancient town. Its former site is located in Jijianlong, West Street. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu once operated it alone and then sold it. 1920, because the poet Mr. Liu Yazi and a group of literary friends in Xitang took a photo of Yaji, which was called "the second picture of Xiyuan Yaji", Xiyuan became famous. Now the West Garden is a newly-built park in 1993, and it is no longer a place for Nanshe to recite poems. In memory of Liu Yazi, it was named "West Park". There are flowing bridges and Shishi Pavilion in Xinxiyuan, surrounded by brick corridors, waterside pavilions, curved bridges, rockeries, pavilions and artificial waterfalls. There are Zhu Nianci Fan Calligraphy Art Museum, Silver Museum, Nanshe Exhibition Room and other exhibition halls in the park. There are trees, flowers, rockery pavilions and pools in the garden. There is a hexagonal pavilion on the rockery called "Drunken Snow Pavilion", and "Drunken Snow on the Mountain", one of the eight scenic spots in Xitang, is here. There is a "Tingtaoxuan" teahouse on the rockery on the east side of the park. Because there is a white pine tree tens of feet high on the rockery, the wind blows millet, so it is named "Tingtaoxuan". At this point, you can sit for a while, have tea and enjoy yourself.
