Xitang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xitang (Chinese: 西塘; pinyin: Xītáng) is an ancient scenic town in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, China.
It is level, densely distributed with rivers, and has a very quiet natural environment. With nine rivers converging at this town, dividing it into eight sections, there are many bridges linking it together.
Xitang is the subject of a common verse:
上有天堂，下有西塘；不去一趟，实在冤枉。
"Above there is paradise, below there is Xitang; To not go one time, would be very wrong."
[edit] Trivia
- Certain scenes from Mission: Impossible III, supposedly depicting Shanghai, were filmed in Xitang.
