Free visit to Xitang

Friends who like ancient towns in the Jiangnan area, come and see the beauty of Xitang. There's a different charm in sunny, rainy, and foggy weather. You can enter Xitang for free before 8:00 AM. It's recommended to navigate to Sujia Alley, where there's a second parking lot, but parking spots are not guaranteed. When we arrived at 7:30 today, it was already full, so we drove south along Hongfu Road to the entrance of Yijiafu Supermarket, where there are usually parking spots available. Then enter through Sujia Alley, which leads to West Street. Since it's early, you can find a place to sit and have breakfast first. Shops usually start opening slowly after 9:00 AM. You can also take advantage of the few people around to find beautiful spots for photos and have a chat. After 9:00 AM, you can start to stroll around. There are many snacks, drinks, restaurants, and small commodities inside. If you're not in a hurry, you can also stay for a night. There are many guesthouses, and Xitang is beautiful at night, especially for those who want to visit bars, which only open in the evening. Of course, if you prefer a quieter experience, you can go to a teahouse in the afternoon. It's usually 20 yuan per person, where you can listen to music and rest. If you have time, you can also take a boat ride, which is charged. It's 50 yuan per person without a ticket and 30 yuan with a ticket. A private boat costs 200 yuan for 8 people. Wish everyone a happy time!
