A beautiful and touching Millennium legend has added another name to Wuli Lake, the inner lake of Taihu Lake. Wuli Lake is located in the southwest of Wuxi City, only 6.5 kilometers away from the urban area.

The name of Lihu Lake comes from the legend of Heshi: It is said that wuyue was defeated and captured in the Battle of Fujiao in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,400 years ago. Fan Li, a doctor of the state of Yue, gave advice and made a decision to "serve the country hard". He found a stunning beauty stone in Ruoyuexi, Zhuluo Mountain, Zhuji, and gave him the mission of serving the country with humiliation, which made Fu Cha, the king of Wu, indulge in debauchery, lost his guard against Yue and killed Wu Zixu, a loyal minister.

Throughout the ages, the beauty of Lihu Lake has been praised by people of insight. Shu Hua, a native of Wuxi in the Ming Dynasty, compared Lihu Lake with the West Lake, saying that "the victory of the West Lake lies in its splendor, beauty and gentleness. Gardens, dikes, bridges, pavilions, ancestral tombs, pheasants, peaches and willows, singing and dancing are just like beauty; Lihu's victory: be broad, be old, escape, be wild, be desolate and be chivalrous? Fairy? In the snow, in the middle of the month, in the misty rain, in the long wind and light haze "is more pleasing to the eye and refreshing." "In the late Ming Dynasty, it was put forward in" A Brief View of Xishan Mountain "that what Lihu lacked was rouge, which made the stone's face colorless. If towers, ancestral temples, dikes and flowers are built, the scenery of Lihu Lake will never be worse than that of West Lake.

Lihu Lake has a wonderful combination of mountains and rivers. There is a mountain outside the mountain and a lake in the lake. Beautiful scenery and unique mountains and rivers.
