Xijing Canal

As visitors pass through the ticket gates into Zhujiajiao`s historic center, they are greeted by Xijing Canal (Water Street)—like a scene from a living postcard, the town`s first canal-alley and gateway to its ancient charm. Unlike the wider Dianpu River or Central Canal, Xijing offers an authentic immersion into water town life: a narrow channel winding between Ming and Qing-era houses before merging with the grand Dianpu River.
