It is an ancient town with an ancient flavor.

Visitors who want to go just need to take the fast and convenient subway 1 line and take you directly to Xixing Station, and they can see Xixing Ancient Town far away. Although there are towering buildings and luxuriously decorated shopping centers in Binjiang District, these are the characteristics of a modern city. Unexpectedly, in this relatively prosperous place, there is an ancient town with a history of about a thousand years, which is really surprising.

At present, there is only one old street left in Xixing Ancient Town, but it still exudes full ancient charm, and there is no trace of development or transformation. This ancient town is relatively primitive, and it is for these reasons that most tourists like it very much. This old street from Tieling Guandong to Zifuqiao, with a total length of about 960 meters, is the most complete old street in Hangzhou so far. Walking leisurely in the old street will make you feel the prosperity and excitement of this ancient town.

The business atmosphere of this ancient town, where most indigenous people live. There are residential buildings on both sides of the old street, and there are no shops at all. Here, visitors can feel the thick smell of fireworks. Whether people wash clothes by the river or play mahjong leisurely, there are old people standing at the door or talking and laughing with their neighbors. Some people will go fishing by the river, and everyone is very happy.

Located on the south bank of Qiantang River, the ancient town was the starting point of the ancient canal in eastern Zhejiang in ancient times. With its geographical location and convenient waterway transportation, Xixing City has even become the most lively and important transportation hub in the north and south. In ancient times, Xixing ancient town was not only industrially developed, but also commercially prosperous. In the most prosperous period, as many as 72 and a half ponds had to pass through here. Later, with the development of land transportation, water transportation faded out of people's sight. Until now, Xixing Ancient Town has become one of the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Occasionally, I will see some potholes in the path paved with bluestone. The houses built with white walls and gray tiles on both sides of the street still remain intact, and the moss growing in the corner can also feel its sense of the times. Look at the driveway on the side, there is water after the rain. These are the real States of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
