Xitang, the warm and tender water town in memory

🍉Everyone says Jiangnan is beautiful, the scenery is familiar to me.
In the season of flying flowers in May, let’s follow the example of the ancients and go to the south of the Yangtze River to see that other world.
Starting from Wuhan Hankou, the sleeper bus saved time and we arrived at Jiaxing Yanyu Tower early the next morning.
Stroll around Jiaxing during the day and arrive at Xitang, a living thousand-year-old ancient town, in the afternoon.

Jiangnan has beautiful scenery.
Life needs love.
The ancient town has clear water.
One person for one heart.
It is said that if you like someone, you should take her to an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, because there is flowing wind, floating clouds, lingering lovesickness like red beans, and the tender warmth of the rippling blue waves of the ancient town.

🍉Xitang Ancient Town, with crisscrossing waterways, is full of scenery and tenderness.
Choosing a suitable place to rest can always make you feel more energetic the next day.
Xitang, Chengshang Shijia Hotel is waiting for you quietly in a corner of Xitang. Different from the hustle and bustle of the city and the bright lights and nightlife of the city, it is waiting for your arrival in a quiet alley.

🍉The hotel seems to be a different world. Although it is located in an alley like the rainy alleys in the south of the Yangtze River, the interior is very designed, and the rooms are large and comfortable to stay in, with its own charm.
Walking on the bluestone slabs of the ancient town, the traces of time flow away on the soles of your feet.

🍉There are many kinds of food in the ancient town, and the Jiangnan flavors are mostly sweet. The boss here will also ask if you like spicy food and make delicious meals according to your preferences.
At noon, go to Yulouchun Antaiqiao store for a Jiangnan feast.
The delicious fish meat, gathered into the shape of longing, makes it hard to get tired of it.
The fish from Jiangnan have few bones and delicious meat, which is very enjoyable to eat.
Have another bowl of braised pork, stir it into the rice, and take a bite. It’s so delicious!

🍉The night in Xitang Ancient Town is like a veiled Jiangnan woman, holding an oil-paper umbrella, wandering in the hazy rain alley.
At night, the ancient town is a sea of neon lights. You can light a lamp, light the candle in your heart, and go for a night tour.

🍉There are many tourist ferries beside the Wolong Bridge. It is very suitable to take a ferry and have fun among the vast blue waves.
The mountains are not mountains, the water is not water, the warmth and tenderness of the ancient town is ultimately a side of longing.

🍉Yulouchun next to Wolong Bridge is already full of guests at this moment. The elegant seats on the third floor are just right for overlooking the scenery under the bridge, as well as the tourists who are reluctant to say goodbye and the various customs of Xitang.

🍉The more mountains and rivers there are from my hometown to the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, the more I miss it.
Although I have to leave eventually, and although I can only exist in the beauty of dreams in the future, the mountains and rivers are so beautiful, and even if I can only see Xitang for a few days, it is enough.

🍉I was fortunate enough to have been to Nanxun. Nanxun was like a half-dressed girl, with her eyebrows showing, half of her arms as beautiful as jade lotus roots, walking slowly towards me.
Wuzhen is like Miss Luodai in the crowd, driving a black-sailed boat, wearing pigtails, and looking at you with a sweet smile.
Tongli is like the girl from Yanziwu after the thick fog has cleared, with a faint smile in the wind and rain.
And Xitang, like a girl in colorful clothes without makeup, holding an oil-paper umbrella, passing by the Wolong Bridge. The stars move between her eyebrows, and suddenly, the clouds clear and the rain stops. This is the feeling of being moved.
