Tourist Area: Xitang Old Water Town near Shanghai

These pictures were taken June 23rd 2012 while I was in Xitang in Zhejiang Province not far from Shanghai. I was travelling with a friend prior to returning to Australia and as I have been busy I haven't had time to find 'not my own' photographs for the 'Photograph of the Week' Section. I hope in time to write about my trip because it did involve a few hilarious incidents. If you want to learn more about this 'very expensive' tourist trap, you can check out one or more of the following:

I met friends in Shanghai prior to coming to this little town, and then we travelled to Hangzhou. I spent 2 days back in Suzhou before returning to Shanghai for a 2 day holiday. I posted some of those photos in last week's 'Photo of the Week' (See Shanghai link above.)
