Xitang Water Town is a mix of canals, bridges, ancient buildings, and narrow lanes. It is less famous and less commercial than the other water towns near Shanghai. Nanxun is the most original and picturesque water town, filled with tranquil ambiance. the place is so calm and it's like in the movie. #urbanexplorer #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

It has some unique features that will blow your mind. I think I was in the trance as long as I was there😱. See it at night, I bet you will have the same experience 🤗 #ancient town #water town #zhejiang #yuan dynasty wonder #mayday trip

In the fireworks-laden March, of course, one should head to Jiangnan, where the sunshine is bright, and the air is filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers. As the weather warms up, the scenery begins to add hues and gradually raises its natural saturation, competing in splendor. Plants lift a layer of veil, revealing another color. The cherry blossoms in Xitang are not numerous. They bloom along the riverbanks, on the black tiles and green bricks, in the wind and rain corridors, and within the rhythm of stories. Xitang Ancient Town Nemophila Shanghai has many flower seas, and I really like the blue Nemophila. The unique blue flowers cover the small hillsides, and if you are in Shanghai, it is well worth a visit. Shanghai Binjiang Forest Park Crabapple 'Fearing that the flowers will fall asleep in the deep night, I burn tall candles to illuminate their red makeup.' The spring is in full swing by the Mochou Lake, with crabapple blossoms blooming, and the poetic and picturesque scenery intoxicates people. Nanjing Mochou Lake Park Monet's Garden Like Monet's divine brush, the Gongqing Forest Park in April is like a fairy tale world, with babbling brooks, shimmering reflections, and a distant train as if coming out of a painting. Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park Cherry Blossoms As one of the world's top three cherry blossom viewing spots, in the middle and late March, the Yoshino cherry trees bloom all over the hills by the Tai Lake, with petals scattered everywhere, covering the lake surface near the Changchun Bridge. A cherry blossom feast is right here. Yuntai Pavilion The February orchid in Hangzhou has 'two West Lakes,' and this is one of them, without the noise of tourists, only a few close friends walking slowly in the rain, Hangzhou's true West Lake scenery is fully revealed. Hangzhou Maojiabu Tulips Come to Hangzhou in March, and go to this place. Tulips, streams, cherry blossoms, and mountain views complement each other. If you encounter a rain at Taiziwan, casually watch the mist rise from the water surface, and the scenery on the opposite side begins to unfold like an oil painting. Hangzhou Taiziwan Park Magnolia To view magnolias in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, of course, you go to the gardens. 'The magnolia stands tall on the branches, as white as jade and like a fairy.' Carved like thousands of pieces of jade, they are dazzling and emit a light elegant fragrance. Suzhou Master of the Nets Garden Cherry Blossoms From Jiming Temple to Xuanwu Lake, Nanjing's full-blown spring. Cherry blossoms and ancient temples. When the spring breeze blows, the delicate petals fall with the wind, like pink snowflakes, soft and romantic. Nanjing Jiming Temple

Wuguniang Park is located at the western entrance of the ancient town Xitang, covering an area of 3,000 square meters, which includes the Wuguniang statue, Duwating Pavilion, and a water stage, among other features. A true love story is circulated in Xitang. In the late Qing Dynasty, Miss Wuguniang, the daughter of the Yang family landlord from Tangdong village, fell in love with the long-term worker Xu Atian. They faced opposition from her half-brother and she was persecuted to death. Later, her love story was turned into a Tian Ge (field song) and has been sung here for over a hundred years. The musical 'Wuguniang' adapted from the Jiashan Tian Ge won the Wenhua Award at the 7th China Arts Festival. Duwating Pavilion is a special tile Xu Atian made as a kiln worker to express his love for Wuguniang, which he used to cover a pavilion. Inside the pavilion hangs a bell, engraved with the scene of their rendezvous here and the words 'love at first sight'. About 'Tian Ge' Tian Ge is a rural folk song passed down among the people of Xitang, still sung in the neighboring areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai to this day, and is a precious local musical cultural heritage of China. It is particularly noteworthy that the musical 'Wuguniang' adapted from the Xitang Tian Ge won the Wenhua Award at the 7th China International Arts Festival. Moreover, in 1954, the late Yue opera writer Gu Xidong adapted it into the Yue opera 'Wuguniang', performed by the Zhejiang Yue Opera Troupe. After watching the play, Xia Yan (a famous playwright) highly appreciated it and wrote an article in 'People's Daily', giving it a high evaluation.

White walls and black tiles, misty corridors, it's truly an ancient town that sleeps by the river!
