Wujiang district of Suzhou city, east China's Jiangsu Province, has intensified efforts to combine agriculture, culture and tourism, since its Lili township was included in a pilot area of the demonstration zones for integrated, eco-friendly development of the Yangtze River Delta at the end of 2019.

It has built many beautiful homestay hotels and restaurants with local features near Yuandang Lake, which showcases a sound ecological environment, including reed swamps and metasequoia. The architecture, together with nearby rural houses, constitutes a tranquil view, attracting many visitors.
