A auspicious beast that safeguards the peace of a region.
 
  The Lüduan is the emblem of Luzhi. As you enter the ancient town of Luzhi, the imposing Lüduan statue stands guard at the entrance; under the divine protection of this mythical beast, Luzhi boasts a long history, picturesque scenery, a rich cultural heritage, and a life that is both prosperous and serene.
The Lüduan is a auspicious mythical beast in Chinese legend, said to travel eighteen thousand li in a single day, master the languages of the four cardinal directions, and be privy to events far beyond. Resembling the xuan‑ni, it is said to dwell exclusively in sites blessed with supreme feng shui.
  Legend has it that the Lüduan is a rare and wondrous beast bred by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Upon beholding the vast, shimmering waters and the aura of spiritual energy that enshrouds the area around Cheng Lake on the outskirts of Luzhi Town, it descended to this place, safeguarding a region renowned for its prosperity, peace, and favorable weather.
The endearing spokesperson of Luzhi
 
  The Lüduan silently guards Luzhi, a thousand-year-old ancient town, carrying the cherished aspirations of its people. Taking the Lüduan as its inspiration, Luzhi has created a cute, lively cartoon character—Duanduan.

The golden rhinoceros horn, like the gilded, millennia-old ginkgo trees of autumn and winter, embodies an inexhaustible vitality.

Its emerald-green body harmonizes beautifully with the verdant, ever-flowing waters and the year-round greenery of the Jiangnan water towns, symbolizing the delicate, graceful splendor of nature.

The fiery red eyebrows symbolize the warm, down-to-earth charm that touches the hearts of ordinary people on the old street.

The beaming, joyful expressions reflect a heartfelt love for the slow-paced life of the water towns, and they also serve as a true testament to the warm hospitality of the people of Luzhi.

The image ambassador for Luzhi’s cultural and creative products has been born—Duan Duan You Li, brimming with the auspicious blessings of the mythical creature Lüduan and imbued with the heartfelt wishes of this water‑town.
