西塘以桥多、弄多、廊棚多而著名。红灯笼高挂的廊棚，一路为游客遮阳蔽雨，长长的石皮弄、计家弄幽静深邃，道道石缝间嵌满了历史陈迹。古镇处处有明清建筑，尊闻堂、醉经堂书香犹存；西园的过街骑楼矗立空中。乘一叶小舟，在柳丝如烟、细雨如雾中，寻访烧香港的圣堂，领略石桥流水的江南风韵。傍晚，伫立永宁桥头，赏月、听桨、观灯，美丽安详的西塘之夜有如梦中仙境；清晨，袅袅炊烟与漫漫晨雾融合，笼罩着河道、石桥、老宅、古街，像一幅中国水墨画，却又散发出永恒的生活气息。

Visitors may find shetter from the sun and rain under the many extended corridors with hanging red tanterns,and discover a sense of history winding through the cracks along the quiet Lengths of Shipi Lane and Ji Famity Lane. The town has numerous Ming and Qing dynasty buildings.You can still sense a profound schotady air in Zunwen and Zuijing haLts, and observe in West Garden a few bridge galledes, appealing as if suspended in the sky.
