摘要

LILI Town is a charming river town in Suzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province. Before the Tang Dynasty(618-907), it was known as Lihua Village, which means a village of pear blossoms. According to folklore, the place got its name because it was surrounded by pear blossoms every spring. However, after the Tang Dynasty, local residents fell victim to frequent floods.
