Luzhi

Luzhi Town (Chinese: 甪直镇) is a famous historic old town located in the Wuzhong District, 18 km east of Suzhou, Jiangsu province, China.

Liuzhi meant that there were six straight rivers in the town.

At the end of the Qing dynasty, Puli was changed to Luzhi township of Yuanhe County.

The Ming dynasty poet Gao Qi poem : "Scene of Puli" is still an accurate description of the scenery in the ancient town Luzhi today: Luzhi is one of the best preserved old towns in China, along with its old canals and streets.

In 2003, the Chinese government published a list of "Ten Famous Chinese Historical Townships", with Luzhi featured on this list.
