2025 Xitang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Xitang, located in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, is a historical water town renowned for its ancient architecture and rich cultural heritage. This scenic town spans 250,000 square meters and boasts a collection of well-preserved buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, which are reflected in landmarks like Shipi Lane, Wufu Bridge, and a remarkable 2,000-meter-long covered walkway. These iconic structures not only highlight the town's architectural prowess but also stand as testimonials to its vibrant past. Tourists visiting Xitang can immerse themselves in the town's genteel merchant culture, tasting local delicacies like steamed pork wrapped in Lotus leaves near the Song Zi Lai Feng Qiao, or exploring the Huizhou style architecture that lines the quaint alleys and blue-stone roads. Additionally, the corridor sheds extending nearly a kilometer, provide refuge and a peek into an era when merchants demonstrated their consideration for customers. A notable feature of Xitang's cultural tapestry is its craft of pankou (Chinese frog buttons) - intricate knot buttons that adorn traditional Chinese clothing, demonstrating the town's deep connection to its artisanal roots. Alongside this, cultural enthusiasts can appreciate the melody of Jiashan tiange, a heralded national-level intangible cultural heritage sung by local farmers.
