The two had hillocks piled up and spring water from the “Second Best Spring Under Heaven” Led into the garden---all performed by top –notch artisans of the time. Numerous verses &rhymes couples & inscriptions on the garden by the two best-known Qing dynasty emperors Kang Xi & Qian Long are just a proof of their visitations of the place. Outstanding in anold-world and secretive charm, the garden owes it success to the unrivaled location and setting, proper layout, and most remarkably, the various ingeniously applied gardening conceptions and stunts.The Second Best Spring Under HeavenIt is believed that the spring was first discovered during the period of Da Li (766-799) of Emperor Dai Zong the Tangdynasty by a Wuxi County magistrate named Jing Cheng.

The five Chinese characters standing for the name seen on the stone inlaid in the wall of a pavilion at the site were Zhao Mengfu’s handwriting. Zhao was a noted artist and calligrapher of the Yuan Dynasty (1206-1368).The Spring presents itself in the form of 3 ponds: the “upper”, the “mid ” & the “lower”, with the water coming from the upper pond tasting the best, being so crystallinely Clear. Eulogized incessantly ever since its emergence by men of letters and ether socialcelebrities------such as Su Dongpo, a literary giant of the Northern Song dynasty, who wrote in his poem:Alone, I have come with the “Little Round Moon” from heaven To savor the “Second Best Spring” water on earth------the spring has had its fame spread overseas through a Erhu solo entitled “The Moon Reflected in the Second Best Spring” by a blind folk musician from Wuxi Named Hua Yanjun, alias “Blind Ah Bin”.蠡湖之光The Brilliance of Lake LihuThe New City of Lake Lihu is a new tourist attraction Wuxi has brought forth, which comprises a free, open lakeside park, residential areas and various public utility and tourist facilities.

The said garden began with the planting of some 1,000 Mey trees, and it was made to expand eastward with 3,000 more Mey trees added.

Then in 1930 anotherWuxi native Chen Meifang put up his garden just next to the Liyuan Garden. Chen called his garden YuZhuang or Fishing Hamlet. In 1952, a long corridor was built by the then Wuxi government linking up and merging the two gardens into one under the name of Liyuan Garden. In 1982, to the garden a new part was added, in which a three-story building called “Spring and Autumn Tower” Stands as the chief attraction.

Just as the literary giant Guo Moruo wrote in praise of the place:“It is rather round the ‘turtle head’ than any other quartersThat the atchless beauty of Lake Taihu centers”The park is now one of China’s chief scenic attractions. The park is unique in the way it has been developed: priority has been given to limelight its natural attributes which man-made sights are necessary only for inconspicuously boosting its natural beauty. Quite a desert place until in1918 a Wuxi Local named Yang Hanxi first began to develop it into a garden by raising some 10 ornamental buildings in there including Han Xu Pavilion, Eternal Spring Bridge and Song Fen Hall. Twenty years later, more buildings including The Taihu Villa, Tao Zhu Pavilion and the 72-hill House were put up there by two celebrities from the business circle Wang Xinru and his son Wang Kunlun, thus an architectural compiler for upgrading the lakescape being taking shape. After 1949, numerous new attractions were put up there one often another including “Lu Ding Hill Greeting The Sun”, “Hidden Charm of Chong Shan Hill”, “Jiangna n Orchid Garden and The “Fairyland on Lake Taihu”, which makes if possible for the park to become the grandest and multi-functional scenic resort in Jiangnan.The Fairyland on Lake TaihuComposed of 4 small islets and originally called“Three-hill Isle”,also dubbed “Tortoise Hill”, if acquired the present name only after the place was decorated with things featuring Chinese folkways and living religions, among them are The Palace of Heaven, The Bridge for Meeting the Immortals, the Celestial Mansion, the Celestial Street, the Bay of Thorough Dawning and the Golden Sand Beach.天心台The Terrace of Heaven’s Hearts烟雨梅村（念句力塔） The Mey Trees in Misty Rain (Nian Qu Pagoda——built to the memory of Mr. Rong’s mother)锡山晨曦 Dawn at Xishan Hill蠡湖之光 The Brilliance of Lake Lihu古越坊 The Ancient Yue Style Shops The Ancient Yue Fang Street中央公园 The Central City Park太湖夕照 Sunset /Afterglow over Lake Taihu。

Split into halves by Lake Taihu, Wuxi borders Changzhou to the west and Suzhou to the east. The northern half looks across to Taizhou to the north over the Yangtze River, while the southern half also borders the province of Zhejiang to the south. Wuxi earned its nickname “Pearl of Lake Tai” because it’s built on the shore of Lake Tai with beautiful sceneries. Wuxi was also dubbed "little Shanghai" because of its close proximity to the city and its fast urbanization and booming economy.? nameWuxi means "No tin", though scholars suggest the city name may come from "Wuxu" (吳墟), meaning ruins of Wu (state), or a Baiyue word which may mean "god bird".History? Zhou DynastyWuxi was founded 3,000 years ago by two fugitive princes, Taibo and Zhongyong, of Zhou from northern China, who intended to give their brother "Jili" (季歷) the throne. The two princes settled down in "meili" (梅里), which is believed to be today's Meicun of Wuxi (albeit some historic records lead to somewhere in today's Suzhou). They helped developing local agriculture and waterways and soon this area flourished. After the death of Taibo, because Taibo has no son, the emperor of Zhou named a descendant of his family king of kingdom "Wu". The king called his kingdom itself "Gowu". Taibo's shrine was set up in today's Meicun and the original wood structure was destroyed during the wars over the course of history. It has been renovated several times and today's architecture is mostly from Qing dynasty. A stone carved with Confucius' comment can still be seen in today's Taibo Shrine.? Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States PeriodWu became one of the strongest kingdoms during the spring and autumn period. Sunzi (Suntzu), who wrote the famous "the Art of War" came to Wu and helped the king in military affairs. Wu was consideredone of the seven strongest kingdoms during Spring and Autumn Period . Some of Sunzi's descendants are still living in Sunxiang in Wuxi nearthe Plum Garden. However, Wu was defeated by Yue (today's Zhejiang andFujian) later on, which was also defeated by Chu later and Wu became part of Chu during the Warring States Period.? Qin and Han DynastyThe culture and economy center of the "Wu" area shifted to Suzhou after Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of Qin Dynasty united China and Wuxi belonged to Suzhou back then. During the Han dynasty, Wuxi was set up as a county by the emperor Han Wudi. Historic records showed that tin was discovered during the early Han era, leading to conflicts in the area. Soon, however, the tin was depleted. This is generally believed to be the origin of the name Wuxi, meaning "no tin." Recent scholarship has brought this explanation into doubt, however. It is claimed that "Wu" is one of the auxiliary suffixes common in the local dialect. This is similar to referring to Suzhou as "Gusu" and Wu as "Gowu". The name was changed to Youxi (有錫), meaning "having tin", during the Wang Mang conflicts period because Wang wanted to change the name.。
