Guangxi’s “Little Sugar Tangerines”

A video of a daring study-abroad trip to Harbin has gone viral.

Every little move of the “orange” tugs at the hearts of many viewers.

What if the “Little Sugar Tangerine” came to Luzhi?

Let’s come together to explore the unique charm of Jiangnan’s cultural heritage.

Experience the tranquil, leisurely life of Jiangnan’s water towns~

Ink-drawing in the Jiangnan region, savoring the refined elegance of humanistic culture.

　　The ancient town of Luzhi is the same age as Suzhou’s old city, boasting a history of more than 2,500 years. Over the centuries, its residents have clustered along the riverbanks, unfolding a picturesque scene of dark-tiled roofs and white-walled houses; renowned scholars and virtuous figures have flocked here, leaving behind a cherished tradition of valuing culture and education. Visitors—those “little sugar tangerines”—can lose themselves in Luzhi, wandering through its time‑worn streets lined with quaint bridges and flowing streams, and meandering through its winding alleyways, where they’ll discover the timeless beauty and the refined cultural spirit of Jiangnan.

Following the two educational tour routes, “Exploring Luzhi’s Cultural Heritage” and “Carrying Forward the Virtues of Luzhi’s Esteemed Forebears,” you’ll visit Baosheng Temple, admire its lifelike sculpted arhat murals, and experience the exquisite artistry of Yang Huizhi, known as the “Sculpture Sage.”

Stepping into the Ye Shengtao Memorial Hall, visitors can explore the exhibition hall and learn about Mr. Ye Shengtao’s life. He advanced the educational philosophy that “teaching is aimed at making teaching unnecessary,” a principle that continues to shine brightly in classroom instruction today.

The Luxi Celebrity Hall, the Wang Tao Memorial Hall, the Wansheng Rice Trading House, the Water Town Agricultural Tools Museum, and many other exhibition venues await your exploration.

Paddle a boat and savor a serene, idyllic life.

　　The ancient town of Luzhi has long been celebrated as the “Tide of the Five Lakes” and the “Crossroads of Six Marshes.” Along its grid of three horizontal and three vertical waterways, 41 historic stone bridges gracefully span the streams, painting a quintessential waterside scene of quaint bridges, flowing water, and traditional homes. Within this tranquil setting, a leisurely, poetic way of life slowly unfolds. Visitors drawn by the “little sugar tangerines” can explore this boundless “Museum of Ancient Chinese Bridges,” marveling at the elegant arches of vaulted bridges, the sleek lines of beam bridges, and the distinctive charm of five key‑shaped bridges.

　　You can either step onto the ancient stone bridges yourself, feeling the marks etched by time, or hop aboard a traditional oar‑powered boat and savor the scenery in a different way—where water and bridges embrace, and bridge after bridge seems to link together. Seated on the boat, the wooden‑beam‑and‑dark‑tiled covered walkways of the old streets along the banks and the waterside homes drift past with the flow, while the gentle murmur of the water creates an utterly soothing atmosphere.

The weathered stone mooring posts along the riverbank are a distinctive feature of the Jiangnan water towns. These exquisitely shaped and finely carved stones bear motifs such as bats, brush holders, ruyi scepters, and three‑pronged spears—each imbued with auspicious meanings. Take your time to admire them and savor the subtle beauty of this watery landscape.

Fireworks Old Street: Savor the Flavors of the Water Towns

　　A touch of hometown flavor, mingled with a deep sense of nostalgia. The essence of Luzhi lies in the bounties of its rivers and lakes, refined by time’s gentle hand—where the natural savor of fresh ingredients, the mellow richness of fermented sauces, and the sweet elegance of Suzhou cuisine converge to create a truly distinctive culinary experience.

Stroll through the old street and savor authentic Luzhi delicacies—such as haitang cakes, pumpkin cakes, Luzhi radishes, Aozao noodles, and bubble wontons. With their soft, glutinous textures, fresh, fragrant noodles, and Luzhi radishes that balance salty with a subtle sweetness, these treats offer a delightful array of textures and flavors that leave you longing for more.

In the depths of winter, the eight aquatic treasures—water chestnuts, water celery, arrowhead, and more—thrive, lending the season a delicate, refreshing sweetness. Savor these distinctive aquatic delicacies and savor the unique flavors of Jiangnan’s watery landscapes.

When savoring Suzhou cuisine, you must not miss Fuli Duck and Fuli Duck Soup—both time-honored dishes that have been passed down as intangible cultural heritage. Behind them lie the legendary tales of Lu Guimeng, a distinguished scholar of the Tang Dynasty. Their distinctive flavors and rich cultural underpinnings imbue these dishes with an even deeper sense of meaning.

Winter vacation is just around the corner—let’s meet in Luzhi!
