Dub-Xitang Water Town

This is my first time to dub for a narrator in video of Xitang tour, where is located nearby Suzhou, southeast part of China.

1.5 hour drive from Shanghai, you will reach Xitang Town, it is very unique among the old towns of the same rank nationwide-world-famous for a great number of bridges, lanes and covered corridors.




The covered corridors are the most special scene in xitang construction. Because of the rainy climate, local residents have invented their own style of ceilinged corridor. Each family puts a ceiling over the stone-plank road in front of its own house, and the ceilings connect with one another to form corridors, the longest being 1,300 meters. Nowadays the ceilinged corridors are the main places for outdoor activities and attract countless tourists.
