## About Xixi National Wetland Park

At Xixi, you can glide through the reeds on a sculling boat or stroll along the riverside boardwalks on foot. What's special is that Xixi has preserved its village houses, so even if you're far removed from the ancient way of life, you can still photograph its most original rural dwellings. As the sculling boat drifts lazily along, if you get a sense of having been here before, that's the best part. Picture Ge You in the film *If You Are the One*, sipping Longjing tea on a boat just like yours and savouring the story behind "Xixi, Stay a While."
