Xixing Ancient Town

I didn't expect this ancient town to be better preserved. It is really rare to walk into the ancient rivers and small streets, see the relics left behind, see the simple and quiet life now, and feel that it is better to retain this area in the bustling city. There is also Xixing Art Museum and showroom. It is worth visiting in detail from the ancient times and the present. The showroom is closed at 4:30 and the art museum is closed at 5:00, so it is recommended to visit these two museums first, and then visit the ancient town and relics and ruins. The art gallery is a photography and video exhibition after the simple restoration of the ancient house, showing the life experience of Xixing people from different angles, expressing people's memories and love of Xixing.

In a way, Xixing Ancient Town is really the lowest-key ancient town in Hangzhou. Xixing Ancient Town, hidden on the south bank of Qiantang River, has historically been the gateway of two Zhejiangs. Due to its developed traffic and dangerous terrain, it has been the "first place in eastern Zhejiang, Ning, Shao, Tai's throat" since ancient times. The history of Xixing can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period.

The old street is located on the south bank of the Qiantang River, the first of the Eastern Zhejiang Grand Canal. There are eight key cultural relics protection units in the country. They are all characteristic wooden structures in Jiangnan Water Town. The pattern of the existing second street and one river in Xixing Ancient Town is still maintained in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
