Xijin Ferry is one of the most historically significant waterfront districts in China, with a recorded history of over 1,300 years. Official cultural heritage descriptions highlight its role as a key river transportation hub along the Yangtze River since ancient times. The area preserves dense clusters of Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, ancient stone-paved streets, temples, and traditional teahouses built along the hillside. Today, it serves as a living museum of Jiangnan river culture, where visitors can experience the blend of historical relics, local lifestyle, and waterfront scenery.
