Shipi Lane, one of the most famous lanes in the town of Xitang, is 68m long and 1m wide. The lane is made of 216 pieces of stones, which are as thin as skin. Thus local residents named it as Shipi (the skin of the stone). The lane is also described as "One thread of Sky" in Xitang as people can only see a thread of the sky in the lane.
