Subjects : Xitang is a "water town", that is, a small city crossed by numerous canals; The old town still retains the traditional architecture and offers beautiful photo opportunities. Once a year it also hosts the Hanfu Culture Festival, an event similar in some ways to our Carnival of Venice, where people wear ancient clothes of the Hanfu tradition (sometimes mixing them with modern or fantasy touches).

Recommended equipment : Standard zoom and tripod for city views, portrait lens for reportage.

Best months : All year round; I recommend the visit during the days of the Hanfu festival.

How to get there : Xitang is about 60 kilometers from Shanghai; in theory there should be buses that take you from Shanghai to Xitang, but if you don't speak Chinese it is almost impossible to find them (the information on the web is incomplete and often inaccurate, as well as timetables and stops). The best solution is to take a taxi with Didi (the Chinese equivalent of Huber); The cost is about 30 euros, very reasonable especially if you share it with two or three travel companions.

Visits : The historic part of the city can be visited for a fee from 9 am until late in the evening, while if you enter before 9 am admission is free, at least at the moment. The cost of the ticket is about 8-10 euros.
