Xitang South Alley

Stroll through Xitang South Lane and step into a 1,000-year-old Jiangnan water town! Cobblestone pathways wind between well-preserved Ming-Qing era houses, where the air carries the aroma of tea and sweet rice balls. Listen for the melodic pingtan (Suzhou ballad) performances drifting from alleyways. At dusk, lantern lights shimmer on the canals – don't forget your camera to capture the magic of this 'living ancient town'!
