1. Attractions Introduction
Luzhi Town, originally named Puli, belongs to Wuzhong District, Suzhou City. It was once praised by Fei Xiaotong as “the first town in the water town of Shenzhou” and is famous for its abundance of water, bridges, alleys, and celebrities. It is also known for its plastic wall Arhats and water town women’s clothing. It has a 2,500-year history of civilization. Luzhi Town is a land of abundant water. In the north, there is Yangcheng Lake; in the south, there are Dianshan Lake and Chenghu Lake; in the west, there are Jinji Lake and Dushu Lake. Therefore, it is also known as the “Five Lakes’ Terrace.”
The scenic spot includes attractions such as the Ye Shengtao Memorial Hall, the Wansheng Rice Merchant, the Wu Dong Water Town Women’s Clothing Museum, the Wang Tao Memorial Hall, and the Xiao Fangfang Film and Television Art Museum. Each one is unique. “Many water lanes and small bridges, houses all pillow the river” is a true depiction of the strong water town atmosphere of Luzhi. In the original ancient town area of one square kilometer, there were “seventy-two and a half” stone bridges of various types from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Forty-one of them still exist today, making it known as the “China Ancient Bridge Museum.”
