How to have fun in Xitang?

The bluestone road in memory, the misty rain in memory, the morning after the rain in memory and the pure land in memory all make me have too much yearning, too much preference and too much persistence for the ancient town.

Wuzhen, Xitang, Nanxun, Zhouzhuang, Tongli and _ are connected in series with the feelings of the ancient water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The white walls are like misty rain, and the ancient stone bridge is half curved. I prefer the quiet of the town in the morning. To be precise, I love the morning in every ancient town.

The sun is just right, the temperature is just right, and the mood is just right, so let's go to Xitang for a leisure weekend. You say go, then let's hit the road.

Travel articles: high comfort when transferring from bullet train to minibus.

Hangzhou east railway station-Jiashan South takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the train time.

High-speed rail/bullet train are all good choices, which are more comfortable than cars. Of course, choosing a car saves the middle transfer and goes straight to Xitang. Arrive at Jiashan South Station around 2: 30 pm. The station is very small. Go downstairs to the exit. There are minibuses and buses going to Xitang. There is a bus transfer station on the right hand side of the exit.

High-speed railway station, the nearest to Xitang.

Bus 2 yuan, green minibus 8 yuan. As far as the comfort of the journey is concerned, it is strongly recommended to take a green minibus. The journey is about 20 kilometers, about 35 minutes, with passengers 1 person and seats 1 person. The departure interval is fast, so you don't have to wait too long. Anyway, I'll leave as soon as I get on the bus. Equipped with cash, no credit card, no Alipay.

⊙ _ ⊙ Bus queues take about 1 hour or more.

Arrive at the scenic parking lot, exactly the first parking lot. The high-speed trains all go out by car from this parking lot, so be sure to remember when you come back. Because there is a third parking lot, even if you go wrong, it's okay. There is a free shuttle bus in the third parking lot. Those who have already sold tickets can swipe their ID cards to get them. The driver drives a convertible multi-person electric car, blowing a breeze all the way, pretending to take a ride at the seaside ~

Accommodation: There are too many homestays, so you can stay in whichever one you like.

This trip, all for leaving, comes from my boredom. I visited the donkey mother during my lunch break and placed an order. I live in Xitang C Tribe Theme Inn, which is close to the third parking lot. The innkeeper drove a very coquettish red BMW to pick it up in the first parking lot. Because it was a reservation package, the boss changed our electronic tickets (later, all the places where we checked in used ID cards) and happily entered the ancient town.

Say two nagging words:

1. Some people say that there is no need to waste the ticket money, and the ticket will not be checked until 8 o'clock the next day after dusk in Xitang. The reason why I choose to buy a ticket is nothing more than this. I feel that the price is right, and I don't have to worry about the attractions I am interested in. Tickets are bought together with the accommodation, so they are tickets for 55 yuan, which is relatively cost-effective. Of course, out of my love for museums, I have to buy tickets to feel the local characteristics and history. In the afternoon, you can enter the scenic spot for two days and enter and leave three times.

I like the small courtyard and mini bridge in the house very much. I feel unsatisfied after walking on it several times. This bridge is just like the one in Lilliput. I stood on the steps and felt like a giant expanding, haha.

2. From the psychological level, many people will comfort themselves that this scene is not good-looking, and this scene is similar, and it doesn't cost money. I don't deny that I used to have this mentality, thinking that walking on the stone road is just a stroll. But if you really want to integrate into the local area, these scenic spots, museums and exhibition halls are the most intuitive displays.

Seriously, talk about homestay.

Compared with the unified standard of Wuzhen, the homestays in Li Xitang are chaotic, and there are various inns hidden in various alleys. Each family has its own characteristics, living by pillow water and having a small courtyard.

The theme room in the package was not very satisfactory, so I added 100 and changed to a room I liked at first sight.

Tickets and accommodation are 345 yuan.

Make tea and chat comfortably.

Shower room with big nozzle, cool ~

Never changed my love for French windows.

Xitang at 4 pm is actually eating.

At 4 o'clock, the sun is not so clear, ready to go out and feel the smell of the ancient town, hello. Before I came, I swept some food strategies and got a general idea of what Xitang eats.

Xitang Lushixiao wonton

There are many Lushi wonton in Xitang. I don't know which one is the real thing. I found a restaurant and ordered a bowl of 10 yuan. It is said that the price has gone up. Small wonton is transparent, so many people call it transparent wonton. Its taste is very similar to the wonton in Shaxian snack (authentic Shaxian local), and it is also crystal clear, with minced meat and Q bombs. The store also sells Nanxiang steamed buns and soup packets.

Small wonton

Although the old lady's stinky tofu is everywhere. I bought a shop near Yanyulou Road and chatted with the old woman who fried stinky tofu for a while. She told me in Putonghua with Xitang dialect that she has been selling stinky tofu since she was in her fifties, and now she is 75 ~

Gave me two pieces enthusiastically. A 8 yuan or 10 yuan, I forgot. The price of scenic spots is nothing more than 5 yuan 8 yuan 10 yuan. It doesn't smell bad, but it smells good and tastes bad, haha.

Stinky tofu

Tofu pudding is also everywhere. Not far away, I saw the legendary Guan Laotai stinky tofu head office. I went in and ate a bowl of bean curd with rave reviews and a bowl of 5 yuan. Tofu pudding tastes really delicious and tender, but it's really as salty as mentioned in the raiders. It's probably salty with shrimp and mustard tuber.

Xian tofu pudding

Xitang medicated diet crisp, snacks can't stop at all, 20 yuan a box, also made by an old man, supports one.

Grandma's chicken feet, worried about not finding them at first, turned a corner (probably next to a bar called Our Story) and smelled a pot-stewed smell ~

1four chicken feet in 0 yuan,1two duck gizzards in 0 yuan, and duck necks. I ate chicken feet on the corner in Suzhou and couldn't extricate myself. I have to relieve my hunger when I come to Xitang. I really have two brushes. They are delicious and taste very waxy. The next day I went to lick a bag. I just can't help eating delicious chicken feet. Listening to the boss said that it could be delivered by express, many people asked her to order food on WeChat.

Push the chicken feet first

Steamed pork with old horse powder, 8 yuan each, is really a lot of powder, not much meat, wrapped in lotus leaves, and the taste is not much different. There is really too much powder! I still love Jiaxing meat dumplings more!

There are many stalls selling steamed meat. Is this more famous?

Steamed meat

Ribs, barbecue, French fries and a shepherd's purse are absolutely standard for dinner. Come to me if you are not fat, haha! There are many snack bars, and basically there are many vendors after dinner. Some recommended restaurants

Zharou

Tie the meat and open it. One is about 15, which is a little different. I love meat, bear with it!

Dish screw

Sauce screws are all over the street. Special price of some rice 1 yuan. The basic price is in 5 yuan, and of course there are some in 3 yuan.

1 yuan, just order two regular dishes and enjoy. The taste is not very special, but it goes with wine. People who don't usually eat big screws just go to Xitang to see the scenery.

Yi Chan Baoyuan

There are many famous restaurants and tourists in Xitang, such as Songzi Yuelou and Yulouchun. Anyway, there are many people and prices are normal. You can try it if you are interested. I went straight to a roadside shop.

I haven't tasted malt cakes, but I've seen a few that don't sell well, gnashing my teeth with concern. Simply put, malt cake is a special seasonal snack in Xitang. Is prepare from glutinous rice flour, black sesame, red beans, walnut kernel, white sugar, Chinese herbal medicine fennel and malt.

Malt cake collapse

Xitang has many characteristics. I brought home a can of hand-chopped peppers. 15. I especially like this handmade one, although it is more expensive than that in the supermarket. Gordon Euryale seed cake, I happened to buy a 5 yuan after walking outside the scenic spot in the morning. The basic price in the scenic spot is 8 yuan, 10 yuan.

Chopped pepper

In this way, I wandered in the alleys of Qingshiban and Xitang.

Xitang has 1 1 scenic spots. Tell me some interesting places.

Shipinong is an alley formed between the Wangs and their families, and the ground is paved with 2 16 stone slabs. The total length is 68 meters, and the narrowest part is only 0.8 meters. This long stone alley is the longest alley in Xitang.

Shipinong

The river was named after the one that burned Hong Kong. The river from Lujiaqiao to Five Blessingg Bridge is called Burning Hong Kong, and the streets on both sides of Hong Kong are also called Burning Hong Kong South Street, collectively known as Burning Hong Kong Street. Huoshaogang is the earliest prosperous center of Tang Xi ancient town. The word "Hong Kong" has two meanings: one is the street, and the other is the river port. A long time ago, this was where the rich lived.

It is said that the architecture in Hong Kong has a remarkable feature: the threshold here is particularly high, more than one foot, all made of stone. I didn't even notice this, what a pity ~

Wolong Bridge is a famous stone bridge in Xitang. It turned out to be a wooden bridge, which was in disrepair. One day, a bamboo craftsman named Zhu lived by the bridge and saw a pregnant woman fall into the water and die. She wants to rebuild it, but she has no money. He cut his hair and became a famous monk. He ran for ten years, saved 3.2 thousand pieces of silver and started construction. When the silver was used up and the stone was still missing, the monk suffered a bitter illness at the age of ten. Due to the lack of bridge deck, the project will stop. At this time, two immortals came to Xitang, and heard that Xitang dried bean curd was very famous, which was greatly appreciated. While intoxicated, a piece of dried tofu fell off and landed on the unfinished Wolong Bridge, forming a bridge deck.

Wolong bridge

There are more than twenty bridges in Xitang, large and small, which run through the banks of the river.

Songzi Laifeng Bridge, built in 1637 (the tenth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty), is a three-hole stone slab bridge. Legend has it that a bird flew in when it was built, and the bridge builder thought it was auspicious, so it was named "Songzi Laifeng Bridge", which was rebuilt in the forty-eighth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty and the fifteenth year of Daoguang.

Songzi laifeng bridge

How to get to the bridge is still a little particular The ancients paid attention to the study of yin and yang. In ancient times, men were yang and women were yin. On the south side of the bridge are stairs and on the north side are slopes.

The misty rain corridor, the so-called rain corridor, is actually a street with a roof. It is a unique building of Jiangnan water town and a unique landscape of the ancient town.

The Button Museum is my favorite, with all kinds of buttons. God, I still like ancient buttons.

Of course, Xitang also has a series of scenic spots such as Xiyuan and Zuiyuan. Stay for one night, and it's also good to go shopping in the evening and morning when there are not many tourists. The scenic spots open at about 8: 30.

There are three libraries open until evening, so you can ask at any ticket gate.

Night in Xitang

Xitang became restless after dark. This is much more lively than Wuzhen. Xitang night is a paradise for bars. But as far as the characteristics of the bar are concerned, it is chaos! It's much more comfortable to have a quiet bar next to the inn ~

In Xitang, it's like coming to Chengdu. All the bars are singing Chengdu! Makes me want to take a walk on the streets of Chengdu ~
