I was actually going to post this video of Xitang(西塘), and I did not find any thread of this particular town, or the city Jiashan. It is not worthwhile to open a separate thread for it only, so I am posting it in a thread which I just started for the topic, lol

one of the best personal water town videos I've seen:
1080p
pGt8hXGumGQ

The video is certainly better than the Xitang scenes in the crappy movie <mission impossible 3>.

This town is also commercially developed (maybe over-developed like all famous water towns), but it is good to see the old architectures are preserved.

Wauw...all the towns looks so stunning. If I have the chance someday to visit China, my #1 choice will be to visit the traditional water towns. These towns don't look like an american og european town, they just look chinese and that is a VERY GOOD THING :)

Happy new year to you too.

Most of the water towns have hundreds of years of history, and many traditional architectures are now commercially preserved.

If you want to visit these towns one day, it's going to be very easy since most of them are very close to Shanghai (one to a few hours of driving), and some are even located in Shanghai.
