Xitang Ancient Town (西塘古鎮(zhèn))

Xitang Ancient Town

Xitang Ancient Town, located in the north of Zhejiang Province, is known as one of the top six ancient towns in southern China. It has a gentle climate, babbling rills, ancient bridges and a slow-paced lifestyle. The town is full of well-preserved buildings, all flaunting a highly artistic architectural style, which were constructed during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). The town is best enjoyed by strolling along the quiet ancient streets or rowing a boat down the waterway with your lover as night falls or morning dawns.
