Lisu Old Street is the only remaining ancient street in Suzhou, associated with Fan Li. According to the records in the ‘Gazetteer of Suzhou Prefecture’, Fan Li once built a villa here. The street has preserved many traditional features and is located near the Shi Hu Scenic Area, making it a relatively close ancient town to the urban area of Suzhou, yet it is obscured amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.
Lisu Old Street belongs to the typical Suzhou architectural style of houses with rivers, divided into Shang Tang Street and Xia Tang Street by a small river. Both sides of the river are lined with old brick and tile houses facing the water, and it has not yet undergone renovation, resembling an aged person in the twilight of their years.
The Lisu Ancient Bridge Group is distributed on both sides of Lisu Port in the ancient town of Lisu, including Lisu Bridge, Xu Mao Bridge, Yongxing Bridge, Taiping Bridge, and Wulong Bridge. This area was once famous for its embroidery, eyeglasses, and shipbuilding industries, and it is rich in cultural resources. The opening hours are subject to the actual operating status on the day.
