The name "Lanli" comes from a legend - according to legend, during the Warring States Period, the famous thinker Xunzi gave lectures in Liangzhu and once led his disciples to plant orchids on the Sandun River. For a time, Sandun was full of orchids, and since then, such a unique and elegant name has been found here.

The colorful rice fields, four-season flower fields, , dragon boat pier and other landscapes make tourists feel like they are in the pastoral scenery like a paradise; Taiwan's specialty food streets, RV camping areas, flower markets and other tour projects have made many tourists enjoy it.
The entire scenic spot is relatively open, with no tickets. Various attractions and experience projects are scattered in the 4.5 square kilometers of scenic spots. It is enough to spend a whole day.
The most impressive place in this scenic area and the biggest feature of the scenic area is that it is "there are villages in the scenery" - the scenic area has two villages, Raocheng Village and Hualian Village, and more than 5,000 acres of farmland. The beautiful village after comprehensive transformation has also become part of the scenic area.

How did the once "dirty, messy and poor" village become a "green, beautiful and clean" scenic spot?

On the morning of October 1, 26-year-old Chen Xiaojing began her first day of work on the tour guide: introducing the attractions in the scenic spots to tourists who come to Sandun Lanli Scenic Area. She is a villager in Hualian Village where the Lanli Scenic Area is located.
"In the past, our village and the Raocheng Village were dirty and messy, and there were many small workshops." She recalled that later the land was transferred and renovated here, and the entire village and surrounding land became such a beautiful scenic spot now, and the facades of the houses in the village were all renovated. The original fields, greenhouses, and lakes in front of the door have all become attractions. Many people in the village also rented out the houses and made them into B&B and and farmhouses.
"I'm very proud to see the village change so much. Many tourists told us that I envy you so much that I can live in such a beautiful place!" Chen Xiaojing said with a smile.

The gorgeous transformation of the rural attractions is due to the comprehensive transformation of the Ringcheng, Hualian villages and more than 5,000 acres of land in Xihu District. "In the past, there was a washing factory in front of the house and a printing and dyeing workshop behind the house. The house was blocked by colored steel tiles. The sun was not visible on the first floor for a year, and the nearby rivers were black and smelly." Zhang Fengkun, a villager in Raocheng Village, recalled.
Later, Xihu District implemented a comprehensive rectification of Raocheng Village and Hualian Village in Sandun Town. Within 35 days, more than 400,000 square meters of illegal buildings were demolished and small workshops were removed. At the same time, it was proposed to build this place into a "urban pastoral complex" that is livable and tourist-friendly, concentrate on revitalizing land, continuously improving quality farmland, and unified governance and restoring the rural living environment, turning the "dirty, messy and poor" in the past into "green, beautiful and clean".
Starting from July this year, the scenic area construction has been carried out here, a series of tourism supporting projects have been completed, and a series of special tourism routes have been planned, and all renovation projects are benchmarked against 4A-level scenic spots.
