There are 9 rivers converging in the town, and 24 stone Bridges connect the five areas of the ancient town into one piece. More than 2,000 meters of smoke and rain corridor is the most unique symbol of Xitang.

Xitang is a living ancient town with a history of more than 1,000 years. It is also where the scene of Tom Cruise leaping on the corridors in the Mission Impossible III was filmed. What attracts you most should be the easygoing lifestyle that local residents have been keeping for thousands of years. This water villages has nine rivers, divided into eight sections linked by 104 old-fashioned bridges, 122 old lanes, many covered corridors, Ming and Qing Dynasties black-tiled houses, etc.

Xitang Ancient town is one of the origins of ancient Wuyue culture, one of the six ancient towns in Jiangnan, for the Wu local culture of the millennium water town, in the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period of Wu and Yue between the border, so known as “Wugen more Angle” and “more Angle people” said. The biggest difference between Xitang and other ancient water towns is that the streets near the river in the ancient town have corridors and booths, with a total length of nearly kilometers, just like the corridors of the Summer Palace. Traveling in Xitang, rainy days do not rain, sunny days do not sun. The long corridor, ancient lane, stone bridge and ancient house of Xitang are quite worthy of taste.
