Xitang Water Village

This is the place I visited many times when there is holidays.
It is a small village, about 1 hour drive from Shanghai.
The hotels are cheap and the whole area is not so commercialized.

I was there just last friday .... took quite a few pictures myself. A place that can take you back to the past and reflect on it. Need to be careful of imitation products but nevertheless a beautiful village

Hi all you Xitang visitos. I was there for my birthday. Great pictures, great food, calming effect away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Hi Anne, Thanks for visiting my gallery. You can get english speaking tour guide from the hotel in Shanghai. Most of the well-known hotel in Shanghai do provide this kind of service. Please be reminded that October 1st is the golden week holiday, not sure whether the Chinese government cancel the holiday this year. Normally the place is too crowded when there is public or national holiday. Usually what i do is hire a taxi to drop me there, then the taxi pick me again the next day ( i like to overnight there ). I stay at the local guest house inside for about RMB 130 - RMB 150 (without breakfast, with air-con, attached bathroom & hot water). Here is the link with further info of Xitang. http://www.shanghaihighlights.com/neighbours/xitang.html Hope these info help. Rgds, Alex Lim

Beautiful photos. Am visiting Shanghai in October. What is the easiest way to do a day trip when you cannot speak Chinese?

I found I like all the photos here, great shots! I've been to Xi Tang myself but came back with awefully poor photos. Surprised they're shot with a D70~

Sure can bring you there and most important thing is to overnight. People there are quite friendly, i mean easy to take people's shot.
