Shanghai-Xitang 2-day 1-night travel guide｜Spend where you should, save where you can

As a working person, tired of the hustle and bustle of Shanghai, not wanting to travel too far, rush too much, or be too full of pace, then come to Xitang Ancient Town and stay quietly for 2 days! ⭐️Itinerary Train: Shanghai South Station-Zhejiang Jiashan (single ticket: 💰12.5/person, time: 52 minutes) Bus: Jiashan Train Station-Xitang (ticket: 2/person, time: about half an hour, ⚠️Shanghai bus card can be swiped in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, Xitang is no exception) Stay: 💰248/night Usually work is already very tiring, when going out to play, I want to stay in a comfortable and safe place, finally chose a new Chinese-style hotel-Chengshang Shijia, another reason is that they support payment at the store, if something happens temporarily, cancellation is very convenient. When booking, the front desk lady was very honest, specifically suggested us to enter the scenic area after 5 pm without buying tickets, it's cost-effective, and also introduced us to where in Xitang is worth playing, good! Eat: Total 💰100/person On the first night I arrived, I ate Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, the tea tree mushroom stewed dragon bone soup in it made me, an Anhui person, fall in love with Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine at once, light but delicious, but the portion is a bit small, only one pot. When leaving the next day, I wanted to eat something spicy, so I ordered a Sichuan cuisine set meal for two, I have to say, the blood here is really amazing, there are quite a lot of tripe in it, my husband and I are the kind of people who love vegetables and spicy food, ordered a little spicy, just right with rice, after eating, have a bowl of rice wine dumplings is very comfortable, I drank 4 small bowls by myself. The restaurants here are basically farmhouse dishes, you can really taste very healthy, although it is a scenic area, but the price is very affordable, even cheaper than the magic city, this point is very good! And some restaurants will give a portion of fried snails, although the portion is not much, but the taste is quite good! Play: Normal ticket 💰95/person, but you can enter for free before 8 am/after 5:00 pm (not sure if there are changes on holidays, you can contact the scenic area by phone before traveling) The main attraction of Xitang is the bar street. At night, you can order a drink and listen to the singer's residency all night, feel the slow pace of life, very comfortable, some only need 💰30/person. If you get up early in the morning, take a walk on the street, there are not many people at this time, you can truly feel the ancient architecture and scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, it's great for taking pictures! By the way, there are a lot of Hanfu shops here, there is one every 50 meters, usually 💰99/set + makeup + shooting, cost-effective! I have been to Wuzhen before, personally feel that Xitang's commercialization and history are relatively well integrated, overall, it's worth a visit!
