Shanghai-Xitang 2-day 1-night travel guide|Spend where you should, save where you can
As a working person, tired of the hustle and bustle of Shanghai, not wanting to travel too far, rush too much, or be too full of pace, then come to Xitang Ancient Town and stay quietly for 2 days!
⭐️Itinerary
Train: Shanghai South Station-Zhejiang Jiashan (single ticket: 💰12.5/person, time: 52 minutes)
Bus: Jiashan Train Station-Xitang (ticket: 2/person, time: about half an hour, ⚠️Shanghai bus card can be swiped in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, Xitang is no exception)
Stay: 💰248/night
Usually work is already very tiring, when going out to play, I want to stay in a comfortable and safe place, finally chose a new Chinese-style hotel-Chengshang Shijia, another reason is that they support payment at the store, if something happens temporarily, cancellation is very convenient. When booking, the front desk lady was very honest, specifically suggested us to enter the scenic area after 5 pm without buying tickets, it's cost-effective, and also introduced us to where in Xitang is worth playing, good!
Eat: Total 💰100/person
On the first night I arrived, I ate Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, the tea tree mushroom stewed dragon bone soup in it made me, an Anhui person, fall in love with Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine at once, light but delicious, but the portion is a bit small, only one pot. When leaving the next day, I wanted to eat something spicy, so I ordered a Sichuan cuisine set meal for two, I have to say, the blood here is really amazing, there are quite a lot of tripe in it, my husband and I are the kind of people who love vegetables and spicy food, ordered a little spicy, just right with rice, after eating, have a bowl of rice wine dumplings is very comfortable, I drank 4 small bowls by myself. The restaurants here are basically farmhouse dishes, you can really taste very healthy, although it is a scenic area, but the price is very affordable, even cheaper than the magic city, this point is very good! And some restaurants will give a portion of fried snails, although the portion is not much, but the taste is quite good!
Play: Normal ticket 💰95/person, but you can enter for free before 8 am/after 5:00 pm (not sure if there are changes on holidays, you can contact the scenic area by phone before traveling)
The main attraction of Xitang is the bar street. At night, you can order a drink and listen to the singer's residency all night, feel the slow pace of life, very comfortable, some only need 💰30/person. If you get up early in the morning, take a walk on the street, there are not many people at this time, you can truly feel the ancient architecture and scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, it's great for taking pictures! By the way, there are a lot of Hanfu shops here, there is one every 50 meters, usually 💰99/set + makeup + shooting, cost-effective! I have been to Wuzhen before, personally feel that Xitang's commercialization and history are relatively well integrated, overall, it's worth a visit!
When the weather is cold, there are no people, very quiet, although it has the unique business atmosphere and model of the ancient town in the country, but it is also good to use the weekend of business trips, especially if I like quiet, I can enjoy the cleanliness is very good.
The first in-depth tour of the ancient town, I chose Xitang Ancient Town to feel the style of the century-old ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River. The tickets for Xitang Ancient Town actually include tickets for 12 small attractions. The small attractions are mainly to experience the gardens, history, wood carvings, wine, customs and celebrity exhibitions of Xitang Ancient Town.
Relatives at home came to accompany them to go shopping. It was very cold and it didn’t rain. I took a photo of the baby in the scenic spot. I chose the kind of clothes to take as a souvenir. Because it was not easy to meet once, then when I took a photo of the baby with my mobile phone, the mobile phone accidentally fell to the bridge in Xitang. I thought I shouldn’t be able to catch it. When I went to find something to catch the mobile phone, my baby went to the restaurant next to it for help. The staff of the restaurant went to the public toilet next to the duty person and contacted the security guard of the scenic spot. Later, I found the river cleaning staff and finally helped me catch the mobile phone. I am really happy to come. Thank you to everyone. Later, I repaired the mobile phone in the scenic spot. Now I can use it. Wow haha. I will lose it and get it back. Next time, be careful. It is recommended that friends who go to play bring a mobile phone rope to prevent falling.
There are not many people entering from the small door, of course, because it is already the fifth day of the year. It's still fun if you haven't been there. The food I eat feels like it is generally the same, even if I find a store with a good evaluation by Dianping. It's just a scenic spot, just eat enough.
I can't remember how many times I have been to Xitang Ancient Town. Every time I come to Xitang Ancient Town, I can always give people a sense of surprise, especially Xitang under the night. Xitang Ancient Town is the most charming and historical place among many ancient towns in Jiangnan Water Town. Xitang Ancient Town is located in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, with a history of nearly a thousand years, known as "Dream Water Township, Painting Home".
It is still a blue brick white wall and black tile, still a small bridge and flowing water family, very similar to Wuzhen but different, very suitable for family parent-child travel. It has improved a lot compared to 15 years ago, the management is more and more standardized, and the scenic spot is getting cleaner and cleaner.
