Location of the Attraction

Xitang Town, Jiashan County, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province

Xitang Town: Xitang, anciently known as Xietang, became a market town during the Ming Dynasty, bordering Yong’an and Qianshan townships. Initially named Xietang, it was later called Xitang. Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn period, Wu Zixu stationed troops here and dug the Wuzitang Canal to improve water conservancy, channeling water from Xushan Mountain directly into the region—hence it is also called Xutang. Xitang Town is located in the northern part of Jiashan County, at the junction of Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces. Its prime geographical location has earned it the nickname “the corner of Wu and Yue.” It lies 90 kilometers east of Shanghai, 110 kilometers west of Hangzhou, 85 kilometers north of Suzhou, and 9 kilometers south of Jiashan County seat.
