Xitang Ancient Town |
Xitang Ancient Town, located in the north of Zhejiang Province, is known as one of the top six ancient towns in southern China. It has a gentle climate, babbling rills, ancient bridges and a slow-paced lifestyle. The town is full of well-preserved buildings, all flaunting a highly artistic architectural style, which were constructed during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). The town is best enjoyed by strolling along the quiet ancient streets or rowing a boat down the waterway with your lover as night falls or morning dawns.
