Built in 503 BC, Luzhi's natural beauty is extraordinary. Old stone bridges, limpid water, venerable maidenhair trees and old-style dwellings, as well as the women in traditional costumes, create a picture of a civilized, rich, pastoral and harmonious environment.
There were 71 bridges in different styles built in the Song Dynasty and 41 of them remain, enough to give the place the title of "City of Bridges." There are more bridges there than in Venice. Luzhi has been called "the first watertown in China."
Luzhi Town is also noted for historical and cultural relics, such as Baosheng Temple, the Wansheng Rice Company and the White Lotus Flower Temple.
