The area has a flat terrain, and the nine rivers that run through the town divide it into eight parts. Xitang is known for its bridges, lanes, and ceilinged corridors. There are 104 bridges of varied structure, all from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some looking like rainbows over the river, and others like long flutes. Standing on one of these bridges and watching the boats through a round opening, one feels drawn into deep meditation on the past.
In addition, other interesting sights in the museum are the artisans and tradesmen demonstrating thier craft. You will be intriqued by the elderly women demonstrating how a traditional Chinese cloth button is tied -- the kind of buttons found on qipaos and other traditional clothing. There is also a group of elderly men demonstratig old button-making machinery. The old button makers, each of whom have had more than 50 years of experience working in the button industry used a series of old foot- powered machines in the past. Today, the button industry uses electric- powered, computerized machines that consume raw materials on one end and churn out buttons on the other.
