Experience the Serenity and Heritage of Xitang Water Town

Tucked between Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, Xitang is a hidden gem among China’s ancient water towns. With its nine intertwining rivers, 27 stone bridges, and centuries-old covered walkways known as “langpeng,” Xitang offers a uniquely tranquil atmosphere that sets it apart from other towns in the Yangtze Delta. A Xitang tour is perfect for travelers who want to experience the slower rhythm of traditional Chinese life while still being within easy reach of the modern city.

On your Xitang water town tour, you can explore charming alleyways lined with local shops, enjoy a boat ride under arched bridges, and sip tea at a riverside pavilion just as locals have done for generations. Unlike the more commercialized towns, Xitang remains beautifully low-key, especially at dusk when red lanterns reflect on the water and the old town takes on a magical glow. Whether you're drawn by its romantic scenery (featured in the movie Mission: Impossible III) or its preserved Ming and Qing architecture, Xitang offers an authentic and peaceful escape into China’s cultural heartland.
