What type of attraction is Lidi?

Lidi is a famous scenic spot in Wuxi’s cultural landscape.

"Li Di" was originally built to create farmland around Xili Lake, and was preserved when fishing was withdrawn and returned to the lake. Fully explore the rich historical and cultural heritage of the Lihu area and carefully build a landscape embankment that integrates man-made accumulation and natural scenery.

Li Causeway connects Yufu Island to the east and Bogong Island to the west, with a total length of 1.2 kilometers. It is shaped like a crescent moon, light and elegant, and is named in commemoration of Fan Li who wrote "The Book of Fish Farming" in Li Lake. name. There are pavilions and pavilions on the embankment, leaning against the water, pavilions hidden among flowers, winding paths leading to secluded areas, stone bridges lying on the waves, and the scenery changing as you step. People walking on it can either look at the mountains and rivers and enjoy the natural beauty, which is pleasing to the eye; or they can taste the humanities and history and feel the long and rich culture of Lihu Lake.

The thousand-meter "Li Dike" landscape not only echoes the "Xidi" that connects Yufu Island and the light of Li Lake, allowing the love story of Fan Li and Xi Shi to be passed down for thousands of years; it also connects the Bogong Island Dike with the fisherman's island. Chichijima is connected into one, close to the time and space distance between the two. "Li Causeway" also includes the "Ten Borders of Li Lake", Baojie Shuanghong Bridge, Liyuan Park, Lihu Park, Lihu Central Park, Lihu Bridge, Jinshi Road lakeside landscape, Changguang River Bridge, Changguang River The entire scenic area along Lihu Lake, including the Wetland Park and Yuantouzhu Scenic Area, forms a scenic tourism "corridor" with an open "five-link" structure.

The "Lidi Stele" has been set up at both the east and west ends of Lidi. Entering the park from the east end of the Long Causeway, the first thing that greets visitors is the five-hole "Zhuoren Bridge". Fan Li, courtesy name Shao Bo, was a native of the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period. He served as a senior official in the Yue State. He assisted the monarch in the Yue State to conquer the world and rule the world. He had outstanding political achievements and outstanding achievements. Especially in the "Battle of Fujiao", Wu defeated Yue and he stayed with Wu as a hostage for two years. After returning to Vietnam, he plotted revenge for Gou Jian and worked together for twenty years to finally destroy Wu. There is a huge Chinese character "Li" in the center of the bridge. Surrounded by bats in the inner circle and Ruyi jade patterns in the outer circle, it is particularly eye-catching. You can appreciate the profound cultural connotation behind the word "Li". Fan Li assisted the King of Yue, destroyed Wu and established his hegemony, then resigned and retired. Later, when Li Yue came to Qi, he was appointed as the prime minister of Qi. The king of Qi asked Fan Li for advice on how to get rich, and Fan Li praised fish farming as the first way to manage his life. A simple and elegant "health management pavilion" pays attention to this historical story that has been passed down for thousands of years. In the small square paved with white pebbles in front of the pavilion, several water lines are drawn out with black pebble ditches, which symbolizes the water of Lihu Lake that has been flowing for thousands of years. Several small fish are dotted between the water lines, competing for fun. On both sides of the stone tablet in the pavilion are engraved in official script and seal script the full text of "Fish Farming Sutra" written by Fan Li when he lived in seclusion in Li Lake. Following the winding stone path leading to the secluded area, we came to the "Guizhou Pavilion". Gou Jian was a suspicious man, and he could share hardships with him, but it was difficult to live in peace with him. After Yue conquered Wu, Fan Li could not stay for a long time because of his great reputation, so Fan Li and Xi Shi floated in the rivers and lakes. They returned to Wuli Lake all day long and roamed around the seventy-two peaks of Taihu Lake. They could not bear to leave for a long time. "Guizhou Pavilion" records Fan Li and Xi Shi this anecdote. A crescent-shaped stone trail leads visitors to "Lizhixuan" from the flowers and trees. Hu Yinglin of the Ming Dynasty recorded in "Notes of Shaoshi Shanfang": "After Li destroyed Wu, he became famous and feared disaster, and Zai Lizhi (called Xishi at that time) was suitable for other countries."

Fan Li and Xishi Coming to the beautiful Wuli River, after boating and singing late at night, I focused on fish farming, love for fish, and fish farming. I studied the methods of fish farming with great concentration. I summarized and wrote the first book on fish farming in China and even the world by the bank of Li Lake. The scientific and technological monograph on fish knowledge - "Fish Farming Classic", is known as the "Father of Fishermen" among the people. Now, "Fish Farming Classic" has been translated into Japanese, English, Russian, French, Spanish and other languages, and is famous at home and abroad. .

Visitors walking through the eight-hole "Lianyu Bridge" in the shape of a ribbon can relive the history of Fan Li's compilation of "The Book of Fish Breeding". After Fan Li helped Yue to destroy Wu, he made an indispensable contribution and was promoted to general by the king of Yue. Under the eight-column wooden covered bridge - "Jiangjun Bridge", a clear river stretches and stretches, with sparkling waves, connecting the inner and outer Lihu water systems. The shoreline of the artificial peninsula is winding, with weeping willows hanging on the shore. The tall and tall trees on the peninsula leave beautiful reflections in the water. The peninsula is a good place for fishing, summer vacation, and leisure.

"On the first day of the year, the tall trees floated, the clear gulls scattered on the shallow sand, the sails were hung on the lake, and the wild fish came home after hearing the flute." Fan Li was a low-ranking official, planting, raising fish, and doing business by the Wuli Lake, and he and Xi Shi Live a peaceful and leisurely life. Across the Jiangjun Bridge, according to the living conditions of Fan Li and Xi Shi, "Youju" and "Yesu Xuan" were built near the water. There are flower-windowed corridors in the Youju building, and several wooden trestles made of logs in front of the house, which communicate and circulate around the house. The small river channel provides a fresh and quiet pastoral scenery and a wild and interesting life style far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It truly reproduces the life scene of Fan Li living in seclusion by Shili Lake in Xishili three thousand years ago.

The seven-hole round arch "Shanjia Bridge". "On both sides of the bridge deck ramp and gentle stone steps paved with Jinshan stone, the bridge railings and ground pavement are carved with different shapes, beautiful gold-plated fish-shaped patterns, the Chinese characters "Li" and "鱼" in seal script , highlighting the deep historical and cultural origins of Fan Li, who is revered as the "Fisherman", "Tao Zhugong" and "The Originator of the Business Circle" by the people, and Wuxi, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as Wuxi, the "Pearl of Taihu", a lakeside city with mountains and rivers The distinctive local characteristics.

Climb the "Shanjia Bridge" and look north across the lake to the Bogong Island Water Conservancy and Environmental Protection Ecological Theme Park, the largest ecological park in Wuxi. In the center of the water "bearing terrace" composed of a platform and a small circular marble square, a large stone sculpture of "Zhang Bo controls the water" is newly built, allowing visitors to remember Zhang Bo, a mythical and legendary figure, and reflecting that generations of Taihu people will never forget Zhang Bo, a courtier of the Han Dynasty. A deep feeling of charity to cure the Wujin Lake flood problem.

After swimming the thousand-meter long embankment from east to west, we stopped at the end of "Shanjia Bridge" and looked eastward. We saw wide trails, secluded trees, curved embankments, undulating stone bridges, and the landscape of Li Embankment. It allows tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lihu Lake and deeply appreciate the waterscape of Lihu Lake that gave birth to the splendid Wuyue culture, adding a sense of visual space, a sense of layering of scenery and a sense of mystery in the landscape.
