About:Xitang Water Town

Is it impossible to stay with a family for a evening? Even if I am a Westerner? I am coming to do a pictorial. I'd love to be able to live with a local family for the night.
Thanks!

Hello, John. I have been there early this year. If you mean stay at the residences along the river but not hotels, I would say Yes, you can. In fact, many of houses along the river are inns for visitors to stay. You can get in the old town and look around, to choose one you like and just arrange an night stay. I spent 120RMB for one night. If you have more questions, I can help. :-)

Here is my suggestion, Mr kay:
You can take bullet train or buses from Shanghai to Hangzhou, which are easilt to find. You may get to Shanghai South Railway Station or Shanghai South BUs Station. They are close to each other and easy to choose either of them. You will get to Hangzhou 1.5-2 hours. Hangzhou East Bus Station has buses to Xitang, or you can get to Jiashan and then shift to Xitang which is 20-30 minutes from Jiashan downtown. Xitang Bus Station has buses back to Shanghai South Railway Station at 6:30,11:20, 13:35, 16:30, where you can take airport bus line to Pudong. You can also take direct bus to Xitang from Shanghai and then back to Hangzhou then Shanghai to Pudong. Hope it is helpful.
