🏛️ Attraction Overview
Xixi Wetland is China’s first national wetland park. The most iconic experience is gliding through the reed-lined waterways on a rowboat, accompanied by the boatman’s humming of traditional Jiangnan folk tunes. Half-price admission on Wednesdays: 40 yuan.
✨ Why It’s Worth a Visit
A completely different experience from West Lake—one is refined and cultured, the other wild and natural. The rowboats are the soul of Xixi.
Practical Tips
A rowboat ride is a must
100–150 yuan per hour; each boat seats 2–4 people. This is the quintessential Xixi experience.
