Nestled in the Jiangnan region of China, the ancient town of Xitang is a picturesque destination where waterways and stone bridges create a nostalgic landscape that has captivated travelers for centuries. I spent a leisurely three-day weekend exploring this charming town.
The night scenery is particularly famous, with the lanterns swaying gently in the darkness, creating a magical and dreamlike atmosphere that is truly worth experiencing. 😌
