Welcome to Xitang

is level,densely distributed with rivers and has a very quiet natural environment.9 rivers
converge in this town,dividing it into 8 sections,but many bridges link this water town
together(anciently called as “nine dragon old pearl”and“wind from 8 sides”).Inside the town,there
are many well-preserved architectural groups constructed during the Ming and Qing dynasties,which boast
a higher artistry and study value,thus being highlighted by the experts at home and abroad
studying antique buildings.Through a bird's-eye view of the whole town,green waves ripple everywhere and every family resides near
water. In the morning,water flows beneath bridges,thin mist is like silk,pinkish walls on both
banks stand tall and erect and tiled houses are reflected inversely in the water.In the evening,
the setting sun shines slantwise,songs come from fishing boats,lamps flicker and the
fragrance of wine drifts.The whole old town is like a poem and a picture.In this town,people
will feel that they are seemingly in an earthly paradise.It is hard to know that people exist in
the picture or picture exists in the heart of people.
