Ligongdi, literarily meaning the causeway of Lord Li, is a dike built at the order of Li Chaoqiong, the magistrate of Yuanhe County during the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1875-1908) of the Qing Dynasty. A century later, it has been rejuvenated with new energy, seen in the white walls and black roof-tiles, the crimson peach blossoms and green willows, the crystal clear water and white splashes. The colorful neon lights illuminate the world-famous brands, men and women gather at bars and clubs chatting away the burdens of daily life, these are the typical scenes in a modern society. This is a place where you are willing to get lost and this is a place you can find the real self.

Steles in Memory of Li Chaoqiong

The three granite steles were set up a century after the death of Li Chaoqiong, the local magistrate of late Qing Dynasty and the initiator of Ligongdi, to remember his righteousness, integrity, honesty and clean administration, and his caring about ordinary people. There is a bust of Magistrate Li on top of the main stele and his poems are inscribed on four sides of the other two steles.
