Fascinating cultural and tourism activities,
A dazzling array of cultural performances,
A leisurely and pleasant life in the water towns,
This May Day holiday was spent in Luzhi,
Let’s “read” and discover the charm of Jiangnan together!
Cultural and tourism activities, full of fun and charm.
In front of Baosheng Temple, crowds thronged as visitors eagerly joined the poetry‑recitation event that offered free admission. On the temple’s lawn, a parent–child picture‑book reading session was in full swing; when timeless tales met young bookworms, imaginations soared and the atmosphere brimmed with delight. At the camping‑themed book‑fair, the vibe was electric, with children eagerly collecting seed‑shaped bookmarks. Meanwhile, at the Ye Shengtao Memorial Hall’s beautifully curated photo‑spot, tourists paused to snap picturesque shots and share them on social media.
At the Wang Tao Memorial Hall, children are experiencing traditional woodblock printing firsthand. Inside the Wansheng Rice Shop, visitors have crafted creative poetic lines through collage, revealing their individuality and literary flair. Meanwhile, in the bookmark‑making workshop at the Shen Residence, participants diligently craft exquisite bookmarks with remarkable skill. A stamp‑collecting and check‑in activity has drawn numerous visitors, who have taken home books about Ye Shengtao and Luzhi’s cultural heritage, spreading his educational and cultural ideals, fostering a rich literary atmosphere, and supporting the nationwide promotion of reading.
Mr. Zhang from Shanghai said, “I brought my child to Luzhi mainly to experience firsthand the rich cultural heritage of the Jiangnan region. My child loves this kind of travel and is already looking forward to our next trip to Luzhi.” Ms. Wang from Hangzhou commented, “The activities at the scenic area are all very engaging, and through games and interactive experiences, my child has come to appreciate the charm of Chinese language and literature.”
Cultural performances, a dazzling array of highlights.
With a history spanning more than 2,500 years, Luzhi has cultivated a profound cultural heritage. The reclusive Tang‑dynasty poet Lu Guimeng, Gao Qi—one of the “Four Masters of Wuzhong” in the Ming dynasty—Wang Tao, known as the “Father of Chinese Journalism,” and the renowned educator Ye Shengtao have all left behind cherished tales in this ancient town.
To revitalize Luzhi’s cultural heritage, the ancient town has launched the “Jin Ye: Qingdian Luzhi” nighttime show, creating a multi‑layered, three‑dimensional, and immersive cultural experience that honors tradition while fostering innovation. The show seamlessly blends dining with performance, featuring song and dance. Xu Gongzi’s captivating portrayal and the graceful, fluid movements of the Twelve Flower Goddesses deliver a dazzling visual feast for audiences.
Civilized tourism, fully guaranteed.
During the holiday period, order was well maintained both inside and outside the ancient town. Staff at all posts fulfilled their duties, remained on the front lines, and worked tirelessly to ensure high-quality services, orderly market conditions, and a clean environment, striving to create a safe, peaceful, and joyful holiday experience for visitors. The scenic area strictly enforced the requirements of “capacity limits, advance reservations, and staggered peak times”; security personnel stepped up safety measures and added mobile patrol stations to prevent stampede incidents; cleaning crews increased the frequency of mobile sweeping and waste removal, promptly maintaining the cleanliness of waterways. Meanwhile, volunteers strengthened efforts to promote civility and uphold on-site秩序.
On the ancient town’s streets, tourists come and go in an endless stream, savoring local snacks, admiring the scenic beauty, and snapping picturesque photos. Delicacies like the fragrantly toasted, tender‑and‑sticky Qiuxiang crabapple cake, the rich yet not greasy Fuli pig’s trotters, and the savory, deeply flavorful Aozao noodles leave a lasting impression on visitors. Strolling along the stone bridge, travelers pause to take photos, basking in the leisurely, carefree charm of their holiday.
