While West Lake is manicured, Xixi offers a wilder, untamed Jiangnan. Xixi’s three causeways – Fu, Lu, Shou – symbolise fortune, prosperity and longevity.
Explore its Ten Sights: boat‑only Qiuxue Hut, Lotus Flower Eco-Reserve Area, Plum Villa and persimmon orchards. Wander ancient bridges, pick persimmons during Huoshi Festival (September–October) and spot wading birds. Escape the crowds by gliding on a bamboo raft or rowboat through the quiet wetlands.
