The Liyuan Garden is one of the most famous scenic spots here. There is a long embankment with willows, a long corridor beside the water, delicate and small bridges and gorgeous pavilions. Wherever you stand, you will see a beautiful picture.

The park was built in 1927 and was named after Fan Li, a famous politician, strategist and economist in Chinese history. The love between Fan Li and Xishi (one of the famous Four Beauties of Ancient China) is a theme of the park.
