Hangzhou Xitang Travel Guide:

1. It's best to encounter Mao Mao rain when traveling in Xitang. The ancient town with a thousand years' history has a special flavor of Jiangnan in the drizzle, strolling in several wide alleys, holding tarpaulin umbrellas and wandering alone in this long rain lane. The bluestone slab at the foot was polished by the rain, with white walls and tiles, carved windows and cornices, brown doors and black columns.

The wooden house has completely restored the original appearance of Xitang, the elegant feeling that makes you inadvertently integrate into the life in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes people unconsciously lazy and wants to stay in Yishui for one night.

2. Feel the darkest night in Xitang.

In Xitang, you must enjoy the night in Xitang. If you just want to visit the ancient town in a hurry at some time during the day, then I suggest you stay overnight. In the evening, there is a lively scene of life here: the aborigines in Xitang set up small tables and chairs by the osmanthus trees by the river, and the old duck soup, fried green beans and yellow rice wine in Xitang were served. The distant stage is full of the singing of Yue Opera. ...

3. Count the narrow and wide stone skins.

Many stone hutongs in Xitang are famous, which is a major feature of Xitang. Deep in the house, the winding path leads to a secluded place. I wonder how deep it is. At the end, it suddenly opened and opened a new world. There are three kinds of stone lanes in Xitang: street lane, companion lane and water lane. What connects two parallel streets is called a street lane, which leads to a new street in front and then to an old town. Passing through it is like passing through a historical tunnel, and the streets and lanes maintain two different eras;

Qianjie and Houhe are called Shuinong, which are connected with the river port, and are often the passages for people who are not close to the water to go down the river; In a mansion, one side of the hall is called a companion. Accompanying students are completely indoors, separated from neighbors by walls, and there is no lighting system, so many accompanying students have dug lamp holes on the walls and used oil lamps to illuminate them.

4, in a daze in the misty rain building road

The veranda is a roofed street, which is common in water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Walking in Xitang, the veranda has become a must-see place. Along the veranda, the picture of Xitang slowly unfolded in front of me. Tired, I sat down at random in front of the bamboo chair in front of the veranda, ignoring the shade around the corner, the river flowing in front of me, and the tourists passing by, leaving my mind blank, even if it was only for a few minutes, which was a super enjoyment!

5, taste yellow wine, listen to the ancient town drama

There is a water stage at the barge dock on the other side of Songzi Laifeng Bridge in Xitang. At night, sitting under the opposite veranda, or floating on the river in a rocking boat, Wu Nong's soft-spoken Cantonese opera singing echoes in his ears, and he can feel a little taste of social drama written by Lu Xun in a trance. In Xitang, you can't taste yellow wine.

Just turn into any restaurant or restaurant, order half a plate of green beans, a few dumplings and two pieces of Bazhen cake, and then let the store iron a pot of yellow wine, and the fairy-like life will be so carefree.

Precautions:

1, don't bother to remember the route. Xitang is really small. The main attractions are on both sides of the river. You can naturally turn around when you walk along the river.

2. Xitang Qiantang Restaurant is located near Laifeng Bridge and built by the river, where you can taste delicious food, listen to the sound of water outside the building and warm a pot of hot yellow wine, which is elegant and leisurely.

It is best to stay in Xitang for one night. The biggest feature of the ancient town is in the early morning, dusk and night. It is better to go to the covered bridge at night. The faint river water and the red lanterns hanging high will definitely give you an unforgettable feeling.

4. If you want to go to Xitang by boat, you can go to Songzi Laifeng Bridge. There is a boat for rent, which can take 4 or 5 people, per hour 15 yuan. If you hire a boatman to draw 80 yuan.

You can also hire a rickshaw as a tour guide in the ancient town of Tang Xi. Cyclists are both drivers and tour guides, and they also know many private scenic spots, which may bring you unexpected gains. A rickshaw is about 15 yuan.
