You will be picked up at your hotel at 8:00 AM and taken to the west entrance of Xitang. This two-hour transfer not only gets you to your destination but also allows you to gradually shift your mindset from city life to the enchanting allure of Xitang, setting the stage for an exciting exploration of this famous water town.

Admiring the water town view from a river will allow you to build your first impressions of Xitang quickly and easily.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the boat ride as the boatmen navigate the waterways of Xitang. Take in the beautiful scenery, capture photos, and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere.

Return to the Starting Point: At the end of the boat ride, the boatmen will bring you back to the starting point or a designated docking area.

The 1,000-meter-long Yanyu Corridor is located near a river. There are over a hundred small shops in the roofed corridor, selling snacks and handicrafts, popular with tourists and local people alike.

The Yongning Bridge, stretching across the Xutang River, gives visitors the best vantage point for photos in Xitang. Hundreds of ancient houses are located on the south bank of the river. You can photograph all of them from Yongning Bridge.

The Xitang Wood Carving Museum is not only a place to display wood carving art, but also an important window to show the historical and cultural connotation of Xitang and the Jiangnan region.

It allows visitors to appreciate the outstanding wood carving skills of the ancients and understand the lifestyle, aesthetic concepts, and cultural traditions of the people in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Chinese food always excites. The river food and local desserts in Xitang will quickly refresh you. Feel free to tell your guide what you would like to eat, as you may notice something that looks delicious during your sightseeing.

Unlike other ancient houses in Xitang, Ni House was the residence of ordinary people, not owned by rich merchants. The exquisite furniture in the house, however, tells you that even the common people in Xitang cared very much about the quality of life.

The 68-meter-long Shipi Lane consists of 168 flagstones. More than 100 red lanterns hang on the walls of the narrow lane. That’s the most distinctive feature of a water town.

After the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Shanghai.
