A must-visit ancient town around Shanghai, only an hour's drive from Shanghai

Xitang Ancient Town, longed for a long time, at the beginning of the New Year, taking the opportunity of the trip to Shanghai, turned a trip to the southwest, drove more than an hour to Xitang; the cold winter is not the peak tourist season, not many tourists, but it can slow down my pace of sightseeing. A small boat, wandering in the Jiangnan that has been dreamed of thousands of times, looking far away is the endless waterway, close look is the quiet river and leisurely boats, so warm, so intimate. Xitang, located at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, with convenient transportation, 90 kilometers away from Shanghai, is one of the first batch of historical and cultural towns in China, a national 5A tourist attraction, and has won the World Heritage Protection Outstanding Achievement Award. A place with a long history and antique; the long rainy corridor, extending along the river bank, connecting the ancient town together, walking under the corridor, as if through time and space, in a trance, as if the past self is coming towards me. Walking in the alleys of Xitang Ancient Town, it feels more like reading poetry than traveling. The names of all kinds of shops in the alleys are very poetic, such as 'Phoenix Tree Flowering', 'Three Lives Have Faith', 'Rain Alley Rest', 'Lotus Lotus', 'Other Shore Sunshine', 'Old Place', 'Old Time', 'Meet Love'...... Tired, rest, fancy the 'Qiantang People' on the bridge next to the rainy corridor, a pot of yellow wine, with steamed meat, fried shrimp, fried small fish, braised pork with preserved vegetables, bamboo shoots with pickled vegetables, delicious, leisurely......
