Xitang

All you want to know about Xitang

Xitang (Chinese: 西塘; pinyin: Xītáng) is an ancient scenic town in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, China.

It is level, densely distributed with rivers, and has a very quiet natural environment. With nine rivers converging at this town, dividing it into eight sections, there are many bridges linking it together.

The modern city is like any other, however, in the older section of town, all the buildings face onto the canals, the true transportation system of the area.

Boat tours are available for tourists.

Trivia

  • Certain scenes from Mission: Impossible III, supposedly depicting Shanghai, were filmed in Xitang.
  • IMDB.com also lists Zhouzhuang (near to Shanghai) as a filming location.

Rated PG-13 (american)
