Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, if you can still hear the sound of thin silk and bamboo in the picturesque artistic conception of ink and wash, and dance in the mottled and prosperous time, then this place is Xitang. Xitang, called Xutang and Xietang in ancient times, is also called Pingchuan. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was once the border between wuyue and China, so it was also called the corner of Wugen. There are more than 1000 families, so it is called "Millennium Ancient Town".

Clever accommodation choice

Early in the morning and one night is the best time to experience the ancient town, so it is best to stay in Xitang for one night. The accommodation in Xitang is better. Most of the scenic spots are private hotels with water and water.

Accommodation is divided into three categories, which can be chosen according to your own conditions and preferences.

Ancient dwellings: the best embodiment of ancient rhyme characteristics. Most of the Ming and Qing ancient houses in the scenic area are located in the inner courtyard of a deep lane with a deep courtyard. All the furniture is antique. Although it is not close to the water, the house is spacious and can deeply understand the ancient rhyme life of the aristocratic family in the ancient town. It's quiet and the cheapest. Sleeping in the carved bed for a hundred years, smelling the smell of water town in the air, gradually sleeping, intoxicating. To put it bluntly, the transformation is to take out the whole room, and then match it with some old-fashioned furniture and carved big beds. Very emotional, the price will be around 200, and the holiday will double.

Waterfront: Living by water, with the characteristics of Jiangnan water town. The characteristics of this kind of guests: generally converted from residential buildings, the house is low and the room space is not large. The Linjiang house from Yongning Bridge to Huanxiu Bridge is very ornamental, especially the Linjiang house in West Street is really close to the water tower, but the house price is quite high and it is not affordable. Most waterfront inns are located by the river, but they are not really waterfront. The price is moderate.

Hotel category: full of modern features. The characteristics of this kind of inn: some of them are built outside the scenic spot, and the scale is generally relatively large. It is mainly a double standard room, which can accommodate dozens of teams at the same time. For example, Xitang Hotel and Laifeng Inn. The price of these rooms is usually around 100 yuan ~200 yuan, which is increased on weekends and holidays. Usually the housing is not tight, so you don't need to book in advance. You can go there again. It will be a little hot on weekends and holidays, so it's best to book in advance. For me, a photographer, photography is the most important thing, and the main time is to take beautiful scenery. Due to the limited time to stay in hotels and inns, there is no requirement to be near the water, so I found a best-selling and cheapest hotel on the Internet, Xitang Yao Jia Siheyuan Fair Price Inn, 138 yuan, which is responsible for picking up and taking it to the scenic spot for free.
