The Old Post Office is one of the most popular places in the area. Many people send postcards.

In the end area of ??the pedestrian street, you can find all kinds of delicacies, including local snacks and restaurants of different grades. The picture shows the stewed green onion buns.

The water at the end is where the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows. The tall tower in Bailian Temple is quite eye-catching.

There are many small stone bridges on the north and south sides of the Xizha Scenic Area. If you just go up and take a walk, you will see beautiful scenery.
