About Xitang
Xitang is located in Jiaxing,Zhejiang Province, between Shanghai and Hangzhou. Though small in size, this ancient town boasts a long history. Xitang became a trade center in Ming and Qing Dynasties for farm products, silk and etc. The residences in Xitang are built alongside the water. Because trading on waterways in ancient times was fairly convenient and developed, roofed corridors were erected along the rivers by the families, providing a shelter from sun and rain for merchants. This has become one of the major landscapes of Xitang - the long canopy corridor.
