Travel Xitang with local experts
Xitang, in Jiashan near Jiaxing, is threaded with canals and long covered walkways, so you can walk the whole town along the water even in the rain.
Many local families still live here, giving it more everyday life than most water towns. It is often paired with Wuzhen on the same route.
