Xitang Travel and Transportation Guide Accommodation Guide

When I was a child, I heard the place name Xitang in a novel, and I liked it very much. I always feel that the south of the Yangtze River is foggy and rainy, with small bridges and flowing water. Xitang seems to exist like this. You can always see red lanterns hanging in front of every house in Xitang at night, which looks very festive. People who like boating can also enjoy the experience of boating among people on the waterfront.

Accommodation

Early morning and one night are the best times to experience the ancient town, so it is best to stay one night in Xitang. The accommodation conditions in Xitang are relatively good. Most of the scenic spots are private hotels with water and water.

Ancient houses: best reflect the characteristics of ancient charm. Most of the ancient Ming and Qing Dynasty houses in the scenic area are located in the inner courtyards of deep lanes. The courtyards are deep and deep, and all the furnishings are antiques. Although it is not close to the water, the houses are spacious and you can deeply experience the ancient life of the ancient town. Very quiet and the cheapest price. Sleeping on a century-old carved bed, smelling the watery scent in the air, you gradually fall into a deep sleep, which is intoxicating. To put it simply, the decoration is to decorate the entire room, and then make some old-fashioned furniture and a large carved bed. Quite sensible. The price is around 100, double on holidays.

Waterside: Living by the water, it is rich in the characteristics of Jiangnan water towns. Characteristics of this type of guests: They are usually converted from residential houses, the houses are low and the room space is not large. The riverside houses from Yongning Bridge to Huanxiu Bridge are more valuable for viewing, especially the riverside houses on West Street that truly live by the water. However, the house prices are quite high, and paying 300 yuan is not affordable. According to online reports, most waterfront inns are by the river, but they are not actually close to the water. The price is moderate.

Category: Hotel with modern features. Characteristics of this type of inn: some are built outside scenic spots, are generally larger in size, mainly have double rooms, and can accommodate dozens of people at the same time. Such as Xitang Hotel, Laifeng Inn, etc. Usually the price of these rooms is around 70 yuan to 100 yuan, but it increases on weekends and holidays. There is usually no shortage of houses, so there is no need to book in advance. You can find them there. It can get a little hot on weekends and holidays. Best to book in advance.

For me, a Jiangnan boy who has slept on a carved bed by the river since childhood, there is no requirement for a room to be close to the water, so I simply looked for the cheapest and highest-selling one on Taobao, Xitang Yanzi Fair Inn, 88 Yuan, the shuttle bus from the station is brought into the scenic spot for free. In fact, you don’t need to buy a ticket from Monday to Friday. If you don’t pay special attention to the 11 scenic spots in the scenic area, you don’t need to consider buying tickets at all. There are many alleys in Xitang to enter the scenic area, and you will find that you are already in the scenic area.

Xitang is a picturesque place. The houses here look very old, so it has a sense of history, as if you can see primitive life, and it feels particularly lively at night.
