Impressions Day Trip to XiTang (7. Sept 2013)
Last Saturday we went to XiTang, the amazing and well-known Water town near Shanghai. We frist had a 1.5 hours ride directly to Xitang. Arrived in town, we discovered the old city with its wonderful bridges and covered corridors. Around 6pm we went to one of local restaurant and ate delicious local dishes. Afterwards by night we strolled along the rivers to see how beautiful the city lights reflect in the canals. At around 8pm we went back to Shanghai and had a drink in a nice bar here at People Square.
