ℹ️ About

Xitang is an ancient water town in Jiaxing's Jiashan County with a history spanning over 2,500 years. It is famous for its 1-kilometer-long covered riverside corridors (lang), which protect pedestrians from rain—a unique feature among Chinese water towns. Xitang's well-preserved Ming-Qing architecture and atmospheric lantern-lit evenings have made it a favorite filming location, including Mission: Impossible III (2006).
