Staying in a B&B within the scenic area offers free entry and exit, saving 80 RMB per person. ❌ Don't take the boat at noon! The sun is scorching, the crowds are thick, and taking photos is all about heads and reflections. ❌ Don't buy the "handmade gorgon fruit cakes" at the entrance—they're inflated. Head deeper into the residential areas for the more authentic experience. ❌ Don't miss Xitang at 6:30 a.m.! That's a photographer's golden half hour. 📌 Summary: Xitang isn't big, but you can spend a day and a half there, making "small bridges, flowing water, and people's homes" a daily routine. It's affordable, but with a bowl of hot gorgon fruit cake, a river lantern, and the Wu dialect of a boatwoman, it transports you back to a Jiangnan region not yet consumed by the fast pace. 📌 Bonus copywriting inspiration (for sharing on WeChat Moments): "They say Jiangnan is dead, but in the early morning of Xitang, I saw a living ink painting." Stay overnight, and you'll understand what it means to "sleep by the water." #XitangTourism #JiangnanWaterVillage #BudgetTravelCanBeLuxury
