Hezhu Street

Melodies of Hezhu in the Ten Scenic Spots of Xixi 河渚街

Hezhu Street was originally a marketplace where villagers engaged in trade and exchanges. It is now located within the public open area of the wetland and has become a distinctive folk-style street. Along Hezhu Street, there are cultural display points such as Hezhu Pagoda, Jiang Family Ancestral Hall, Sanshen People Assembly Hall, Dragon Boat Exhibition Hall, and Little Flower Basket. These points showcase various aspects of the local culture.

Xixi, also known as Hezhu in ancient times, is characterized by winding waters, surrounded by mountains, famous gardens and ancient temples, with numerous reeds and sandy Xu trees. Historically, Xixi covers an area of about 60 square kilometers, and the total area of Xixi National Wetland Park under protection is about 11.5 square kilometers, which is divided into the eastern wetland ecological protection and cultivation area, the central wetland ecological tourism and leisure area, and the western wetland ecological landscape enclosure area. The importance of Xixi lies in its ecology.
