Named after the legend that Fan Li and Xi Shi boated on Wuli Lake in the Spring and Autumn period, the garden was built in the Republican era; the Thousand-Step Long Corridor is built right along the water, the Four Seasons Pavilions and Chunqiu Pavilion frame views of Lake Tai, and the Peach-Willow Embankment is at its best in spring — a compact Jiangnan waterscape garden.
