If you don't want to go to work, come to Xitang and just idle away your time!

Xitang ancient town is so beautiful. This is my second visit to Xitang, and I still find it as charming as it was ten years ago. As I step onto the historic stone-paved roads, I close my eyes, listen to the sound of oars slicing through the lake water, feel the breeze on my face, and suddenly feel so relieved. If you don't want to work, just come to Xitang and idle away! I've put together a two-day, one-night guide for you to copy directly – About the itinerary: Day1: Hangzhou - Jiaxing South - Xitang Scenic Area - Huguo Sui Liang Wang Temple - Zuiyuan - Wang's Residence - Xiyuan - Button Museum - Zhang Zhenggen Sculpture Art Museum - Dinner - Night boat tour Day2: Wang Chengxing breakfast - Hanfu experience - Xiyuan Touhu - Liuyunji Gaiwan Tea - Bar Street - Return trip Ticket price: 95 RMB per person Recommended must-visit spots: Misty Rain Corridor The rain corridors in Xitang are mostly concentrated in Beizha Street, Nanzha Street, and Chaonandai commercial areas. Some have long benches with backs along the river, providing shade and shelter from the rain. Scenes from 'Mission: Impossible' were also filmed here! Shipi Alley Shipi Alley is at the end of Xitang's West Street, 68 meters long, paved with 216 stone slabs that are only three centimeters thick. Xiyuan Xiyuan is the largest private garden in Xitang ancient town, a typical Jiangnan garden style, with beautifully carved beams and painted rafters, and pavilions and towers in an orderly fashion. China Button Museum The Button Museum is located on West Street, with six exhibition halls: Ancient Button Display Area, Modern Button Display Area, Contemporary Button Display Area, Shell Button Production Process Display Area, Button Application Area, and Chinese Knot Display Area. The museum features live demonstrations of shell button production processes. Songzi Laifeng Bridge Wupeng Boat How can you not experience a Wupeng boat in the ancient town? At dusk, take a boat with friends to see Xitang from another perspective, a different kind of beauty. Liuyunji Gaiwan Tea The ancient town is best enjoyed by walking slowly and browsing slowly. Drinking tea here is also a way to travel at a slow pace. Food recommendations: Guan Lao Tai Stinky Tofu, a local specialty, with crispy tofu and tender inside drenched in sauce, is so delicious. Wang Chengxing, even for someone like me who doesn't like noodles, I find the shaomai and eel noodles delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. You must try it. Accommodation: Xitang Muyue Hotel No. 368, Nanyuan Road, Xitang Town The hotel is near the Wugu Niang Theme Park, which is very convenient for entering and exiting the scenic area. The overall style is new Chinese, and most importantly, it's very quiet! The Xitang scenic area is not large, and if you're in a hurry, you can finish touring it in one day. However, I recommend spending two days to get a deeper understanding of its beauty – Other tips: Regular ticket sales time for the scenic area: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (except for holidays and major events); During statutory major holidays (New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day) including the day before the holiday but excluding the last day of the holiday, the ticket sales time for the scenic area is 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM;
