各位游客:我们现在将去游览的景点是蠡园。蠡园距无锡市区10公里,位于前湖北岸的青祁村,是一处以“堆造假山、巧借真水”而闻名的江南水乡园林。
【蠡园简史:得名由来—创建历史—景区分布】
蠡园因蠡湖而得名,蠡湖原名“五里湖”,是太湖东北岸的一个内湖,湖面9.5平方公里。相传20__多年前,越国大夫范合助越王灭亡吴国后,功成名就,携西施隐居于此。后人把范蠡、西施当年泛舟的五里湖叫做“蠡湖”,蠡园也因此而得名。
蠡园的建设,最早是在民国初年,当时的青祁村人虞循真在蠡湖岸边种植了柳树、菱藕,然后筑堤围坎,建造茅亭,形成了“梅埠香雪”、“南堤春晓”、“曲渊观鱼”等“青祁八景”,并设立“山明水秀之区”牌额以示游人,从而奠定了蠡园风景开发的基础。1927年,又一位青祁村人王禹卿,在上海经营面粉生意致富后,回到乡里,在“青祁八景”的基础上辟地30亩,凿池引水,叠石为峰,历时三年建成蠡园。1930年,台园的另一位建造者陈梅芳在蠡园旁建造了另一个园林,据范蠡在此与乡亲们一起养鱼的传闻,取名“渔庄”,并声称要胜过蠡园,因名“赛蠡园”。1936年,王禹卿的儿子王亢元,又分别营建了湖心亭、凝春塔等建筑。解放后,1952年无锡市政府经全面整修,在台园与渔庄之间,建筑了一条千步长廊,从而将两国连成一体,统称“蠡园”。1978年又在长廊之东拓建新园,形成了如今的规模。
台园现占地123亩,其中水面占40%以上,全园分为四个景区:东部有百花山房、月波平眺、南堤春晓和四季亭;西部有千步长廊、湖心亭、凝春塔;中部有假山群、莲防;新辟的有春秋阁等名胜景观。
【蠡园大门—百花山房】各位游客:我们现在来到了蠡园大门,这是由原渔庄大门改建而成的。进门是90平方米的敞厅,右侧墙上刻有蠡园风景图。向前过暗廊、月洞门,穿过假山屏障,只见右边堆砌着湖石、假山,这就是著名的百花山房。它建于1934年,外观为落地长窗,配以各种花纹雕刻。厅里陈设古式家具,房后种植芭蕉、棕榈。百花山房回廊中的墙上装饰着彩绘壁画,它以西施故事为线索,形象地展现了西施~生的主要经历。西施是我国古代四大美女之一,浙江诸暨人。在吴越争战中,越国谋臣范合帮助越王勾践设“美人计”,将西施献给吴王夫差,从而使夫差沉迷酒色,最终亡国。
由回廊向前,二层楼建筑是“濯锦楼”。
【假山群—莲舫—洗耳泉—桂林天香】
我来当导游,假山石阵是台园景区的主要特征。1930年陈梅芳建渔庄时,用太湖石堆砌假山群,由浙江东阳人蒋字元设计建造。来到假山群,只觉峰回路转,曲折盘旋,置身其中,如入迷宫。假山群的建造丰富了园林内容,增加了山林野趣,又分隔了景区空间。这些假山都以“云”字题名,有云窝、云脚、穿云、朵云、盘云、归云、留云等。假山最高处是“归云洞”,高12米。在此可以眺望全园景色。我们到此,是否有一种“身在此山中,不知云深处”的感觉呢!假山虽小,却风景独特。在假山群旁,还配置着小亭、池塘、小溪、曲桥、石笋,并且种植了各种名贵花木,大有会稽兰亭之风光。
各位游客:在华东线的旅游城市中,无锡是因濒临美丽的太湖而著名的。在这个“充满温情和水”的城市中,景色宜人,人文答本,吸引了南来北往的佳宾。今天就让我们一同前去欣赏这颗“太湖明珠”的迷人风采。
无锡地处江苏省南部、太湖之滨,北临长江,南接浙江、安徽两省,西邻常州市,东靠苏州市。西距南京183公里,东距上海128公里。著名的贯通中国南北的京杭大运河在此交汇。其地形为平原地带,土地肥沃,物产丰富,渠流纵横,河网密布,是我国著名的“鱼米之乡”。辖锡山、江阴和宜兴3个县级市。全市总面积4656平方公里,人口约426万。其中市区面积343平方公里,人口约二“万,是江苏地区仅次于南京的第二大城市。目前已发展成为具有轻工、纺织、电子、化工、机械等工业的中等城市。
无锡是我国江南的一座古城,距今已有3000多年的历史。据《史记》记载,商朝末年,周大王长子泰伯及其弟仲雍从陕西来到这里定居,筑城于梅里(今锡山市梅村一带),建“勾吴”国,这是无锡建城的开始。
无锡之名最早见于《汉书》,相传周平王东迁时(约在公元前770年),惠山东侧发现了锡矿。锡在当时是冶炼青铜器的原料,于是爆发了当地人和外来者长达几百年的。到了战国末期锡矿日渐减少。公元前224年,秦始皇大将王翦在锡山发现一块石碑,上面刻有:有锡兵,天下争;无锡宁,天下清。“无锡天下宁”表达了人民渴望安宁太平的生活,因此“无锡”的名字就这样流传了下来,成为城市的名称。
无锡的经济发展有着深厚的基础。早在明代时,织布、陶瓷、制砖等手工业非常发达。19世纪中期,无锡和九江、长沙、芜湖合称为“中国四大米市”。本世纪以来,无锡更是依靠自身优越的自然条件,成为中国民族工业的原料基地和工商业发达的城市,被誉为“小上海”。
无锡经济的发展与良好的气候条件有一定的关系。无锡属北亚热带季风气候区,气候温和、湿润,雨量充沛,四季分明,成为太湖流域的富庶之地。地理和气候也为养殖业提供了条件,太湖中出产的各种水产品种达数十种,尤其以银鱼、蟹最为著名。此外,无锡的土特产品:假(惠山泥人)、大(无锡酱排骨)、空(无锡油面筋)已成为馈赠亲友的佳品。
假山群中最大的建筑是“莲航”。它建于1930年,三面临池,一侧和驳岸相连,分成三个舱:前舱是落地长窗,中舱装饰着矮墙花窗,尾舱隔有粉墙栏杆。航是园林湖泊中建造的一种船形建筑,主要供人在游览时驻足停留,观赏水景。江南园林造园多以水为中心,蠡园又建在太湖边,因此陈梅芳在假山群中造了这座莲航,使游人不在水中划船,却如同置身舟中的感觉,充分体现了造园者的用意。
看完莲访,我们沿石路向南,前方有一口直径约一米的泉井,周围叠石形如耳廓,这就是著名的“洗耳泉”。泉旁这块大石,状如狮子,似在守护着清泉。再看泉畔石路两旁分布着这些湖石,倘若游客们仔细辨认,就能看出12生肖的动物形态。跨溪石桥上有“潜鱼”两字。此处景观以景状物,让我们不得不叹服造园者的别具匠心。
下面让我们绕过假山,来到一片豁然开朗的景区。这里平地上种植着数十株古老的桂树,郁郁苍苍,香溢满园,因而名叫“桂林天香”。倘若中秋时节来到这里,定能使您感受一番“天香云外飘,桂子月中落”的情趣。
【酒虚亭—四季亭—月波平跳—空界桥】
我来当导游,走出假山群,过月老亭石拱桥,前面看到的攒尖敞开的亭子,就是“涵虚亭”。此亭本来在蠡园东部,建渔庄时迁到这里。原先亭子分成八面,有矮墙,上装花格长窗,1958年整修时,拆除了花窗和矮墙,成为现在开敞的样子。1983年还塑有“西施浣纱”像。“涵虚亭”前是“四季亭”。四个亭子外形虽然一样,寓意却十分深刻,它们代表了一年中的春、夏、秋、冬四时。四季亭于1954年建造,造型别致,歇山式亭顶。亭内三面扶手称作“美人靠”,亭顶上装饰着水生植物——荷花、荷叶、莲蓬。我国古代把水生植物看作吉祥物,认为可以避免火灾。那么这四个亭如何加以区别呢?一是看亭边种的植物:春亭旁种梅花和迎春;夏亭畔种夹竹桃;秋亭边种桂花;冬亭侧种腊梅。二是看四亭所处的方位,无锡地处近海,纬度较低,属亚热带气候,春、夏、秋、冬四季风向分别以吹东、南、西、北风为主,所以“四季亭”以东、南、西、北方位确定。
四季亭还各有一个更好听的名字,这是在1980年《无锡日报》上公开征集评选的,它们分别是:春亭叫“溢红”,夏亭名“滴翠”,秋亭为“醉黄”,冬亭称“吟白”。
民国初年,在蠡湖畔建青祁八景,1927年-1936年在原有基础上建蠡园,后几经扩建。相传春秋时范蠡、西施退隐太湖,即在这里泛舟,园内的建筑多以范蠡、西施为主题,来这一看爱情,二看精致。
进蠡园大门往左是假山群,先不去假山那玩,一圈逛出来时再去。走百花山房方向,向南到四季亭。四季亭指的是一方水塘的四条边上各有一个亭子,春亭旁种梅花,夏亭旁种夹竹桃,秋亭旁栽桂花,冬亭旁种腊梅。四季亭北边有块大草坪,在草坪上坐坐,和三四好友聊天,或者来顿野餐,十分惬意。四季亭西边是舢板码头,可在湖上划船,脚踏船参考价25元/40分钟,手划船参考价20元/40分钟。
继续向南走,到蠡湖上的长堤“南堤春晓”。这里是春天赏花最好的地方,堤上一排垂柳,柳枝随风摇摆,柳树间夹种着很多桃树,桃花品种很多,一棵桃树上还会开出不同颜色的桃花。还有梨花、樱花,吹落的花瓣铺在湖面上,好似一副花团锦簇的锡绣。南堤春晓的西南角有望湖亭“月波平眺”,在那有游船码头,可坐游船去西施庄。
各位游客:我们现在将去游览的景点是蠡园。蠡园距无锡市区10公里,位于前湖北岸的青祁村,是一处以“堆造假山、巧借真水”而闻名的江南水乡园林。
蠡园因蠡湖而得名,蠡湖原名“五里湖”,是太湖东北岸的一个内湖,湖面9.5平方公里。相传20__多年前,越国大夫范合助越王灭亡吴国后,功成名就,携西施隐居于此。后人把范蠡、西施当年泛舟的五里湖叫做“蠡湖”,蠡园也因此而得名。

各位游客:我们现在来到了蠡园大门,这是由原渔庄大门改建而成的。进门是90平方米的敞厅,右侧墙上刻有蠡园风景图。向前过暗廊、月洞门,穿过假山屏障,只见右边堆砌着湖石、假山,这就是著名的百花山房。它建于1934年,外观为落地长窗,配以各种花纹雕刻。厅里陈设古式家具,房后种植芭蕉、棕榈。百花山房回廊中的墙上装饰着彩绘壁画,它以西施故事为线索,形象地展现了西施~生的主要经历。西施是我国古代四大美女之一,浙江诸暨人。在吴越争战中,越国谋臣范合帮助越王勾践设“美人计”,将西施献给吴王夫差,从而使夫差沉迷酒色,最终亡国。
我来当导游,在蠡园西南角,临湖建“六角亭”,这就是蠡园风景之最的“月波平眺”。它飞檐翘角,绿瓦红柱,因亭顶原立有一只仙鹤,故又叫“仙鹤亭”。1958年整修时拆除了,换成现在的葫芦攒尖顶。顶上有12根楞木,斗拱相连,雕刻着60只金凤凰,每五只凤凰由一条龙率领,中间绘有双龙戏珠,所以也叫“龙凤亭”。1981年,无锡书画家倪小近写的“月波平眺”匾悬挂在亭正中央。站在亭中可以眺望五里湖,领略湖光山色,所以也叫“望湖事”。
各位游客:如果我们在这里坐船游览蠡湖,便能眺望到远处的宝界桥,它是荣德生在1934年做60大寿时,出资建造的。桥的全长375米,宽5.6米,高7.7米,桥下架有60个桥孔,象征荣德生60大寿。因桥在宝界山下,故名“宝界桥”,又因为此桥是无锡最长的桥,所以人们也称它为“长桥”。
【南境春晓—千步长廊—暗红烟绿—凝春塔】
在“望湖亭”前沿湖边的是“南堤”。长二三百米,30年代初,虞循真在这里种植桃树和柳树,称“南堤春晓”,成为“青祁八景”之首。如今共有300多棵柳树,600多株桃树。每到春天,红碧桃、紫叶桃,以及从外引进的金散金碧桃、重瓣白碧桃等十多个品种的桃花竞相开放,争奇斗艳,将这里点缀得分外美丽。沿南堤向东,走过假山石洞,是一个小天井,左边是木香树,右边是一棵紫藤,再向前穿过月洞门,就是长廊。长廊全长289米,也称“千步长廊”,建成于1952年。它既连接了老蠡湖和渔庄,也构成了一道独特的景致。长廊一面临蠡湖,另一面是长墙,墙上开有80多个漏窗,并用青瓦砌成各式图案,大家仔细端详就会发现,每个图案各不相同,别具匠心。长廊东边,嵌有38块砖刻,刻的是苏东坡、米芾、王阳明等人的作品,这是在1928年建园时镶嵌上去的。整个长廊临水一边设置长椅,既装饰游廊,又能供游人休息,倚栏观景,人在其中,确能领略到“山光照槛水绕廊”的意境。于步长廊东边的尽头,用栈桥和长廊相连的是湖心亭。湖心亭采用平桥涵洞的建筑结构,伸向湖中约50米,它是1935年由王亢元出资建造的。整座亭呈长方形,飞檐翘角,四面通敞,上部金色琉璃瓦顶,底部用黄色架筑材料。一面墙上雕刻有《嘉湖佳话》壁画;另一面有“晴红烟绿”匾,表明五里湖景色四时多变,因此也叫“暗红烟绿”水谢。和湖心亭隔水相望的是“凝春塔”,高约数米,五层八角,红砖青瓦,小巧玲戏,中西结合,是蠡园中的著名一景。
【半亭—春秋阁】
我来当导游,现在我们从千步长廊返回,可看到长廊一端,有一段独特的建筑,它与长廊相连,一半是走廊,一半是亭子,因此名叫“半亭”。半亭是千步长廊的延伸,它连接着蠡园新区,起到了一个过渡作用。这里也是观赏春秋阁的最佳地方。
游客们:前方这座三层楼的高阁就是“春秋阁”,它建于1978年。让我们走近阁旁,各位请看:这幢单檐歇山顶的建筑矗立在整个园林的最高处,给台园建筑增添了层次错落的变化。檐下高挂一块“春秋阁”的横匾,是著名书画家刘海粟的手笔。阁名取自春秋时期范麦和西施的故事。游客们:阁内有回廊,可以登临远眺,阁的底层还有一幅大型壁画《范蠡西施泛舟图》可供欣赏。下面请大家跟我一起登上春秋阁,居高临下地领略一番蠡园的壮丽景观吧!
Wuxi Liyuan is located in Qingqi village on the West Bank of Lihu lake,2.5km southwest of Wuxi City. It is named after Lihu lake. It is said that morethan 20__ years ago in the spring and Autumn period, Fan Li, a senior officialof the state of Yue, helped the king of Yue destroy Wu, and then he took abeautiful woman Xi Shi to go boating here. Later generations named this lakeafter Fan Li in memory of him.
In 1927, Wang Yuqing of Wuxi built Liyuan on the basis of Qingqi Bajing.Liyuan covers an area of 5.2 hectares, including 2.2 hectares of water. Visitorscan visit Liyuan in three parts. That is: the rockery area in the middle, thelakeside levee and the four seasons Pavilion in the west, the promenade, thepavilion in the center of the lake and the layer wave overlapping shadow area inthe East. Sijiting district is the main scenic spot of Liyuan. This pavilion wasbuilt in 1954, which is derived from the meaning of spring, summer, autumn andwinter. It is respectively titled "Yihong", "DiCui", "zuihuang" and "Yinbai".Spring plum is planted in spring Pavilion, peach blossom bamboo is planted inSummer Pavilion, Osmanthus fragrans is planted in Autumn Pavilion, andwintersweet plum is planted in winter Pavilion. There are many flowers in thefour seasons, and the fragrance is far away.
Passing through the four seasons Pavilion, there is LiuDi on the west sideof the garden. On the southwest corner of the pavilion, there is a smallhexagonal pavilion built according to the lake, named Wanghu Pavilion. Visitorscan see Lihu lake and Shitang peaks. In the house of Wanghu Pavilion, there are12 pieces of wood, on which 60 colorful Phoenix are carved. Each Phoenix is ledby a dragon. The dragon and the Phoenix are auspicious and lifelike. In thenorth of Siji Pavilion is the famous "Qianbu corridor", which is about 300meters long. The leaky windows on the corridor wall are made of tiles. On the 89flower windows, the patterns are different, which is very negative to the charmof Jiangnan gardens. Su Shi, minanggong and Wang Yangming, writers of SongDynasty, and calligrapher of Ming Dynasty, all have stone inscriptions fortourists to enjoy.
Liyuan is the most scenic spot in Lihu Lake scenic area. When visitorsvisit the lake scenery, they all stop here to enjoy the scenery. The long willowdike, the long corridor near the water, the delicate bridge, the gorgeousPavilion, and what a picture of "overlapping waves, snow waves and smokegreen"!
Lihu lake, also known as Wulihu Lake, is the inner lake of Taihu Lakeextending into Wuxi. It is located in the southwest suburb of Wuxi, a famouscity in the south of the Yangtze River. It is about 10 kilometers away from thecity center and is shaped like a gourd.
The name of Lihu comes from the legend of Fan Li and Xi Shi: it is saidthat in the spring and Autumn period more than 2400 years ago, Wu Yue wasdefeated and captured in the battle of Fu Jiao, King Gou Jian of Yue. Fan Li, asenior official of the state of Yue, gave advice. Gou Jian endured humiliationand took the policy of "lying on the staff, tasting courage, and striving forgovernance". He found a gorgeous beauty, Xi Shi, in RUOYE stream of Zhuji Zhuluomountain. He was given the mission of humiliating himself and serving thecountry. He made Wu King Fu Chai indulge in wine and sex, lost his guard againstYue, and killed his loyal minister Wu Zixu. When the state of Wu was destroyed,Fan Li ranked first. Gou Jian is suspicious, so he can only share weal and woe,not happiness. Fan Li retired after success, and sailed in Taihu Lake and 72peaks with Xi Shi. After entering Wuli Lake, I missed the beautiful sceneryhere. I went boating on the lake all day and couldn't bear to leave for a longtime.
Lihu park also has good scenery. The lake is dotted with water chestnut,and the reed and calamus are elegant. There is also a man-made beach. Althoughit is not as small as a natural beach, it is also a good place to play in thewater. The cool water rippling on the feet is very pleasant.
The construction of Lihu Park adheres to people-oriented and water as thesoul. In the garden surrounded by clear water, small bridges and trestles withdifferent shapes make up all the scenic spots in the garden. The garden in thegarden -- Shiyuan, embracing with green shade. Built with four pavilions ofLiuyun, Tianyuan, Yuehong and Qinghui, and a 100 meter long corridor around thewater, the water mirror corridor will collect the ancient and modern poems,paintings and photographs of celebrities praising Taihu Lake, and show theprofound cultural heritage of Lihu lake. It can also serve as a platform for thepublic to participate in Lihu cultural activities and exchange exhibitions. Lihupark is the best place to watch Lihu bridge.
Lihu Park in Wuxi is a free park. Located in the North Bank of Lihu, BinhuDistrict, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, China, it was officially opened to theoutside world on October 1, 20__. Covering an area of 300 mu, the park isdesigned by American Pan Asia e-way company and Wuxi Landscape Design Institute.The garden is dominated by plant landscaping, with four seasons of flowers andtrees forest belts of "beauty of spring", "beauty of summer", "charm of autumn"and "condensation of winter". The water mirror Gallery, a circular 100 meterlong corridor built around the water, displays the ancient and modern poems,paintings and sculptures praising Taihu Lake.
我来当导游,假山石阵是台园景区的主要特征。1930年陈梅芳建渔庄时,用太湖石堆砌假山群,由浙江东阳人蒋字元设计建造。来到假山群,只觉峰回路转,曲折盘旋,置身其中,如入迷宫。假山群的建造丰富了园林内容,增加了山林野趣,又分隔了景区空间。这些假山都以“云”字题名,有云窝、云脚、穿云、朵云、盘云、归云、留云等。假山最高处是“归云洞”,高12米。在此可以眺望全园景色。我们到此,是否有一种“身在此山中,不知云深处”的感觉呢!假山虽小,却风景独特。在假山群旁,还配置着小亭、池塘、小溪、曲桥、石笋,并且种植了各种名贵花木,大有会稽兰亭之风光。
假山群中最大的建筑是“莲航”。它建于1930年,三面临池,一侧和驳岸相连,分成三个舱:前舱是落地长窗,中舱装饰着矮墙花窗,尾舱隔有粉墙栏杆。航是园林湖泊中建造的一种船形建筑,主要供人在游览时驻足停留,观赏水景。江南园林造园多以水为中心,蠡园又建在太湖边,因此陈梅芳在假山群中造了这座莲航,使游人不在水中划船,却如同置身舟中的感觉,充分体现了造园者的用意。
看完莲访,我们沿石路向南,前方有一口直径约一米的泉井,周围叠石形如耳廓,这就是著名的“洗耳泉”。泉旁这块大石,状如狮子,似在守护着清泉。再看泉畔石路两旁分布着这些湖石,倘若游客们仔细辨认,就能看出12生肖的动物形态。跨溪石桥上有“潜鱼”两字。此处景观以景状物,让我们不得不叹服造园者的别具匠心。
下面让我们绕过假山,来到一片豁然开朗的景区。这里平地上种植着数十株古老的桂树,郁郁苍苍,香溢满园,因而名叫“桂林天香”。倘若中秋时节来到这里,定能使您感受一番“天香云外飘,桂子月中落”的情趣。
我来当导游,走出假山群,过月老亭石拱桥,前面看到的攒尖敞开的亭子,就是“涵虚亭”。此亭本来在蠡园东部,建渔庄时迁到这里。原先亭子分成八面,有矮墙,上装花格长窗,1958年整修时,拆除了花窗和矮墙,成为现在开敞的样子。1983年还塑有“西施浣纱”像。“涵虚亭”前是“四季亭”。四个亭子外形虽然一样,寓意却十分深刻,它们代表了一年中的春、夏、秋、冬四时。四季亭于1954年建造,造型别致,歇山式亭顶。亭内三面扶手称作“美人靠”,亭顶上装饰着水生植物——荷花、荷叶、莲蓬。我国古代把水生植物看作吉祥物,认为可以避免火灾。那么这四个亭如何加以区别呢?一是看亭边种的植物:春亭旁种梅花和迎春;夏亭畔种夹竹桃;秋亭边种桂花;冬亭侧种腊梅。二是看四亭所处的方位,无锡地处近海,纬度较低,属亚热带气候,春、夏、秋、冬四季风向分别以吹东、南、西、北风为主,所以“四季亭”以东、南、西、北方位确定。
Lihu lake, formerly known as Wulihu Lake, is an inner lake in the northeastof Taihu Lake. Liyuan, which stretches into Lihu lake, is an old park in Wuxi.It has the style of Jiangnan garden. It is famous for its waterscape, withnarrow and long lifts, small bridges and long corridors on the water. Peachblossom is in full bloom in March and April, and lotus blossom in June andSeptember, just like a water garden.
In the early years of the Republic of China, the eight sceneries of Qingqiwere built on the Bank of Lihu lake. From 1927 to 1936, Liyuan was built on theoriginal basis, and then expanded several times. It is said that Fan Li and XiShi retired from Taihu Lake in the spring and Autumn period, that is to say,they went boating here. Most of the buildings in the park are based on the themeof Fan Li and Xi Shi. Come here to see the love and the delicacy.
To the left of the gate of Liyuan is a group of rockeries. Don't go to therockeries first, and then go out after a tour. Take the direction of BaihuaMountain House and go south to Siji Pavilion. Four seasons Pavilion refers to apond with four pavilions on each side. Plum blossom is planted beside springPavilion, Nerium indicum is planted beside Summer Pavilion, Osmanthus fragransis planted beside Autumn Pavilion, and wintersweet is planted beside winterPavilion. There is a big lawn in the north of the four seasons Pavilion. It'svery pleasant to sit on the lawn, chat with three or four friends, or have apicnic. To the west of Siji Pavilion is a sampan wharf. You can row on the lake.The reference price of pedal boat is 25 yuan / 40 minutes, and that of hand boatis 20 yuan / 40 minutes.
Continue to walk south to the long dike on Lihu lake, which is called"South dike spring dawn". This is the best place to enjoy the flowers in spring.There are a row of weeping willows on the bank. The willow branches swing withthe wind. There are many peach trees among the willows. There are many kinds ofpeach flowers. There are different colors of peach flowers on a peach tree.There are pear flowers, cherry blossoms, blowing petals spread on the lake, likea pair of colorful tin embroidery. In the southwest corner of Chunxiao, there isa lake watching Pavilion named "yuebo Pingtiao". There is a cruise ship wharfwhere you can take a cruise ship to xishizhuang.
Xishizhuang is an artificial island built in the south of Li. Along thestone road around the island, there are many scenic spots named after Fan Li andXishi. In the Taozhu residence, Fan Li helped Gou Jian, king of Yue, defeat thestate of Wu and go into business after retiring. There is a super big abacus inthe shangsheng hall, which is very interesting. It takes two hands to pull theabacus. Xishi garden is decorated with Xishi's embroidery workshop, boudoir,study, and exhibits of tin embroidery. There are also spring and autumn stageand other attractions on the island. The island is not big. A tour around theisland takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Take a boat back to Chunxiao of Nandi, and walk northeast to Qianbucorridor. This is the old building of Liyuan. It is on the Lihu lake. On oneside, there is a wall, and on the other side, there is water. There are 80hollowed out flower windows on the wall. The patterns are very beautiful. At theeast end of Qianbu corridor, there is the pavilion in the center of the lake,which is "clear, red, smoke and green". The red brick and green tile of Ningchuntower, which faces the pavilion across the water, is small and has strong colorcontrast. It is one of the landmark buildings of Liyuan. In the eastern part ofLiyuan, you can see the ferris wheel of Lihu Park in the East. With Liyuan asthe foreground and ferris wheel as the background, the photos are veryartistic.
Then go northwest to chunqiuge, which belongs to the eastern region. Thereare three floors in the pavilion, which is the high building of Liyuan. There isa teahouse on the upper floor. You can drink tea while overlooking the beautifulLihu lake. Finally, back to the rockery group, a large pile of Taihu Lake stonesformed a variety of strange peaks, all named after the word "cloud", such asyunwo, yunjiao, Chuanyun, etc. Guiyun peak is the highest, with a height of 12meters.

四季亭还各有一个更好听的名字,这是在1980年《无锡日报》上公开征集评选的,它们分别是:春亭叫“溢红”,夏亭名“滴翠”,秋亭为“醉黄”,冬亭称“吟白”。
我来当导游,在蠡园西南角,临湖建“六角亭”,这就是蠡园风景之最的“月波平眺”。它飞檐翘角,绿瓦红柱,因亭顶原立有一只仙鹤,故又叫“仙鹤亭”。1958年整修时拆除了,换成现在的葫芦攒尖顶。顶上有12根楞木,斗拱相连,雕刻着60只金凤凰,每五只凤凰由一条龙率领,中间绘有双龙戏珠,所以也叫“龙凤亭”。1981年,无锡书画家倪小近写的“月波平眺”匾悬挂在亭正中央。站在亭中可以眺望五里湖,领略湖光山色,所以也叫“望湖事”。
各位游客:如果我们在这里坐船游览蠡湖,便能眺望到远处的宝界桥,它是荣德生在1934年做60大寿时,出资建造的。桥的全长375米,宽5.6米,高7.7米,桥下架有60个桥孔,象征荣德生60大寿。因桥在宝界山下,故名“宝界桥”,又因为此桥是无锡最长的桥,所以人们也称它为“长桥”。
在“望湖亭”前沿湖边的是“南堤”。长二三百米,30年代初,虞循真在这里种植桃树和柳树,称“南堤春晓”,成为“青祁八景”之首。如今共有300多棵柳树,600多株桃树。每到春天,红碧桃、紫叶桃,以及从外引进的金散金碧桃、重瓣白碧桃等十多个品种的桃花竞相开放,争奇斗艳,将这里点缀得分外美丽。沿南堤向东,走过假山石洞,是一个小天井,左边是木香树,右边是一棵紫藤,再向前穿过月洞门,就是长廊。长廊全长289米,也称“千步长廊”,建成于1952年。它既连接了老蠡湖和渔庄,也构成了一道独特的景致。长廊一面临蠡湖,另一面是长墙,墙上开有80多个漏窗,并用青瓦砌成各式图案,大家仔细端详就会发现,每个图案各不相同,别具匠心。长廊东边,嵌有38块砖刻,刻的是苏东坡、米芾、王阳明等人的作品,这是在1928年建园时镶嵌上去的。整个长廊临水一边设置长椅,既装饰游廊,又能供游人休息,倚栏观景,人在其中,确能领略到“山光照槛水绕廊”的意境。于步长廊东边的尽头,用栈桥和长廊相连的是湖心亭。湖心亭采用平桥涵洞的建筑结构,伸向湖中约50米,它是1935年由王亢元出资建造的。整座亭呈长方形,飞檐翘角,四面通敞,上部金色琉璃瓦顶,底部用黄色架筑材料。一面墙上雕刻有《嘉湖佳话》壁画;另一面有“晴红烟绿”匾,表明五里湖景色四时多变,因此也叫“暗红烟绿”水谢。和湖心亭隔水相望的是“凝春塔”,高约数米,五层八角,红砖青瓦,小巧玲戏,中西结合,是蠡园中的著名一景。
