Recently I want to go to Xitang, Zhejiang with my friends. Please give me some detailed travel guide. I am from Yichang, Hubei, and I just have 6 or 7 days off.

I am from Pinghu, Jiaxing. Xitang is in Jiashan, very close to my home. I've been there twice and I think it's a nice place. It has the feel of our Jiaxing Jiangnan water town. If it rains a little when you go, it will be more artistic (it rained twice when I went there~~O(∩_∩)O~). You can find a small restaurant with beautiful lights and lean against the window. Sit on the second floor, eat some Jiangnan side dishes, sip some wine, and watch the drizzle outside.

As for taking a bus, you can take a train directly or take a bus. There are direct routes. You can check the fare by yourself. When you arrive in Jiashan, whether it is Jiashan South Railway Station or Jiashan Bus Station, first check if there are any buses to Jiashan (I saw the specific bus number on Baidu Encyclopedia, you can check it yourself, I will go there myself It's been too long, I can't be sure which bus it is, sorry~~), if you don't take a taxi again. Don’t trust the taxi drivers or taxi drivers soliciting customers. They will usually tell you that they can take you into Xitang for only a few dozen yuan per person without buying a ticket (tickets to Xitang are now MS100 per person. They always have a way To make you believe that you are taking advantage), in fact, there are several entrances and exits in Xitang that can be entered for free, but outsiders don’t know, they use this specifically to defraud money (note, there is no so-called holiday fee, those few No one blocks the intersection, there are never tolls, and there are still people living in Xitang). If you take a bus and arrive at Xitang Station, get off the bus and walk straight. After passing a street, you will see a free entrance (remember to keep walking straight~~). If you take a taxi or a small taxi, the fare must be less than 30 yuan, because both Jiashan Bus Station and Jiashan South Station are very close to Xitang. And you have to insist on taking the bus to Xitang Bus Station and don't want them to take it in. When you arrive at Jiashan Bus Station, enter as described above. If you can't find it, just ask passers-by. Don't go to the main entrance, because not only will you waste your money, but people will die if you walk to the bustling area of ??Xitang (I was tricked the first time I went there~~o(>_<) o ~~), and the door I introduced is the bustling area as soon as you enter.

The snacks in Xitang are good, but a bit expensive. There are many shops, but you need to visit a few. I forgot the name of one shop, but it sells duck gizzard skewers, custard buns, rice dumplings, steamed pork with rice flour, and a kind of white meatballs wrapped in a trace of white. , tastes like fish balls, this one is the best (and this store is a snack bar that you can go in and sit in, the others are either for eating or selling on the roadside with a window), there are also other restaurants nearby There is a very interesting handmade jewelry store. The owner is very humorous and is a native of Xitang. His DIY jewelry is very non-mainstream, but it is very beautiful, very ethnic style, and has many auspicious meanings. There is also a silk embroidery shop near this shop. The workmanship is good, the presentation is great, and the price is moderate. There is a window selling snacks on the other side of the river, including screw skewers, which is also good. If you want to eat, I suggest you search on Baidu for the words "Chef Star Gaozhao Xitang", which is a food introduction column in Zhejiang. It can be regarded as a correct introduction. I particularly recommend a dish in the show, oil stew. I grew up eating it and I like it. It has the flavor of my hometown. As souvenirs to take home, you can choose the braised edamame and Gorgon cake (osmanthus flavor is recommended). The edamame should be dried bamboo shoots, and the Gorgon cake should be freshly made. Anyway, go to more restaurants. The dragon beard cake is the most deceptive, and don’t buy the round pancake either. Here are a few more snacks: maltose, mung bean soup, tofu pudding, large and small wontons, stinky tofu, and fresh meat siomai. Highlights: small wontons (the most delicious of the three delicacies), stinky tofu (the most delicious one sold by an old lady on the roadside), fresh meat shaomai (a Jiaxing specialty). Dishes also include: roasted pork with mustard greens, salt and pepper pumpkin, old duck pot with wontons, wild flowers with minced meat, white chopped chicken, Malantou, white water fish, cicada wrapped in balls, Xitang's best noodles in the world. I like to eat roasted pork with mustard greens, stewed duck with wontons, white chopped chicken, and Malantou.

Just buy the handicrafts you like. Anyway, make more counter-offers. The main idea is to go to more stores.

As for the attractions inside, you can check it out on Baidu Encyclopedia. It is written in great detail. Some of them require payment. I am not sure which ones you want to go to. Just make your own choice.

If you want to stay, you can book in advance online. I have checked the carved beds, broadband, and prices before. There are many online. One or two hundred nights is enough. (Another advantage of online booking is that if you can’t find the entrance, you can call the owner of the B&B you booked to pick you up~~)

If you still have time, you can take a awning boat , visit the bars in the ancient town, but these cost a lot~~!

If you don’t stay overnight, don’t take a boat, don’t go to a bar, don’t go to attractions, and don’t buy random things, three hundred for one day is enough. If you play everything in two or three days, two thousand is probably about the same. Bar.

There is nothing interesting near Jiashan, or it is Wuzhen, but it is similar to Xitang, and Wuzhen is more expensive than Xitang, there is no free entrance, and the ticket is now said to be 150. Jiaxing has many ancient towns, There is nothing else, just a small bridge and flowing water. You can also go to Nanhu in downtown Jiaxing to see the Red Boat and pay homage to the legacy of the revolutionary ancestors.

Go to Yanyulou and eat Nanhu Lingshenma~~ Since you are in Jiaxing, you can also go to Shanghai and Hangzhou. It is not far by car and there are too many interesting places to list them all.

I hope my answer will be helpful to you. Welcome to Jiaxing, our land of outstanding people, and wish you a happy journey! O(∩_∩)O~
