Great for photos, when not jostling with crowd, shops are touristy otherwise. Take the canal ride for some nice views, and do a cosplay experience for photo shots.

Xitang, 🇨🇳 China Welcome to enter with me in Xitang, a charming water town crisscrossed by nine rivers near Shanghai! This city has more than 2000 years history. Its typical architecture with little lanes and canals will charm you. The city hasn't been developed so much in modern time and kept its ancestral loveliness.

A lovely but overly sanitised place. Far out from city and it is not easy to get to. You are better off going to Zhujiajiao.
