#2024Travel Review #Xitang, a famous ancient water town in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has a long history of thousands of years. It is also the "Red Dust Inn" in the movie "Mission Impossible" by Tom Cruise and the "Red Dust Inn" in Jay Chou's song. It is also an AAAA-level tourist attraction. Walking through the water town Zeguo, the stone arch bridges and old houses and alleys, it feels like you have returned to ancient times. It is really antique and has another kind of humanistic style that you cannot feel in big cities.

Xitang is also known for its numerous old bridges, offering picturesque views of the scenic river.
