Introduction to attractions

_Zhigu Town is located at 25 km southeast of Suzhou City kilometers. Not as many tourists as other popular water towns. It is suitable for walking around on weekends, crossing several three-step and two-step bridges in the "Bridge Capital", looking at the white-walled and black-tiled buildings by the river, and looking for the place where the story "Three or Five Dou Overcharged" in the middle school Chinese textbook happened.

_Zhigu Town is named Fuli because there is a "Fuli Hall" in the west of the town. Later, because there was a direct port in the east of the town, it led to six places. The shape of the water flow resembled the character "Lu", so it was renamed "". It is the same age as the ancient towns in Suzhou, with a history of more than 2,500 years, and is much older than Zhouzhuang and Tongli, which both belong to Suzhou.

The ancient bridges of different shapes and the well-proportioned old houses contrast with the clear river water of Zhizhi Ancient Town. You can go to Baosheng Temple to look for the "half soup" Arhat, learn about celebrities' stories at Ye Shengtao Memorial Hall, Wang Tao Memorial Hall, and Lu Zhi Hall of Fame, reminisce about the years in Shenzhai and Xiaozhai, and learn about Soviet-style classical architecture.

Ticket price: Free in the ancient town, but some attractions are charged.
