Xitang Water Town Tour from Shanghai

This morning, our guide will pick up guests from hotel on time of departure, and then transfer to Xitang Water Town. First visit Yanyu Corridor and Yongning Bridge. Yanyu Corridor has a total length of nearly a kilometer and is mostly built near the river. Here you can find various shops along the street. Sometimes swaying boats carry tourists passing. Yongning Bridge is the best viewing point in Xitang Town. It is the best place for photography enthusiasts and painters to create. Then move on to the Wood Carving Museum, which is an art museum with a private collection. The museum has collected more than a hundred root carvings of Zhang Zheng (a famous root carving artist). After lunch, visit Ni House, Shipi Lane and Tile Museum. Ni House is the ancestral home of the former deputy mayor of Shanghai, Ni Tianzeng. It is located in the south of Hong Kong and was built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. The overall building is simple and implicit. It is a typical representative of Confucianism. Shipi Lane, built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, is the narrowest lane in Xitang. The narrowest point is only 0.8 meters and the total length is 68 meters. The ground is paved with 168 slate. Tiles are a simple building decoration accessory. Because it is not easy to preserve, it has a long history and has certain historical value. Tiles Exhibition Hall has more than 300 varieties of six categories: lace, dripping chopsticks, step chickens, brick carvings, ancient bricks, and pottery figurines. Next stop is Button Museum, which has the title of "Home of Buttons". There is a detailed introduction to the origin and development of buttons. It shows the evolution of buttons from ancient times to the present, from simple to complex, and from rough to fine. Here are the biggest buttons in the Guinness Book of Records. After one day tour, transfer you back to your hotel in Shanghai. Button Museum02
