The sixth day in Shanghai

We had a plan to go to Xi-tang as one day tour, which is around a hour and an half by car away from Shanghai.  Before departure, we decided to have a big meal at Din-tai-fung because we were concerned that we might not able to find a reasonable restaurant for lunch in Xi-tang. 

How popular Din-tai-fung is... even morning time on weekdays.

These are what we normally order.

Fried pork with fried rice

Signature dish vegi delight

Pork dumpling xiao long bao

Vegi dumpling

Water spinach with garlic

Cucumber

A imposing skyscraper 

 on the way back to hotel from Din-tai-fung

Woopah!!

In about an hour after departure from Shanghai, we could see the sign 'XI TANG'.

The entrance of the town

Let's check the map first.  

Umm,, where do we start to walk...

People seem love drying off their personal wash outside.  This is actually pedestrian street lots of people pass through all the time.  Funny thing is that you could easily see even their undies hanging on the clothesline. 

OMG o_o'' 

Is this one of my favorite Korean dishes, Dduk-bok-gi??  

.....

No way..

  

Bed & Beer  ;-)

The baby zucchinis are firmly dangling from the branch.  

You guys are so cute!!

The narrow alley of the town

You can pass through this little backstreet only one by one.  

Another lovely alley

It was worth taking time to explore the lovely town.

I like this picture for some reason.

 

Xi-tang is also well known for the movie location of Mission Impossible III.

Simply marvelous!

 

This ancient water town isn't just simply tourists spot.  Someone is still born and live here.   
This might well be their hometown, whoa!!



I took a short video with iPhone.  
It was quite fun.
