阅读理解Have you ever been to Xitang Water Town?
Xitang Water Town is a small ancient town on water. It is in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, China. Xitang is famous for its bridges. alleys(小巷) and sheltered corridors(廊).
Nine rivers run through Xitang, dividing it into eight parts, with stone bridges, quiet streets, and corridors. The bridges of Xitang date back to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Through a bird's-eye view of the whole town, green waves are everywhere and every family lives near water. In the morning, water
runs under bridges; thin mist(薄雾) is like silk: pink walls on both banks stand tall and houses are reflected(反射) in the water. In the evening, the setting sun shines softly and songs come from fishing boats. The whole old town is like a poem and a picture. It is hard to know that it's people in the picture or the picture in the heart of people.
