Village upon water - Xi Tang




Xi Tang is one of the most celebrated ancient town in the region. It is divided with interconnected canals and wooden houses line along the banks. Despite booming tourism, people still go on with their daily routines like usual. It is how people interact within the water villages that makes it so interestingly unique.

And I find Xi Tang especially fascinating at night. Old couples sit by the houses in the night. Cats and dogs lay idly everywhere. Houses with red lanterns reflect in the water. Alleys are lit by dim lights. The night is silent and still. It is simply poetic.
