On the day of the event, senior media people from major cities across the country walked into the Zhou Garden with the theme of Buddhist culture and Anhui architecture to appreciate the style of ancient buildings, stone carvings, wood carvings, jade carvings, ancient beds, classical furniture and other beautiful ancient cultural works of art. "Strengthening the protection and utilization of cultural works of art will inject continuous vitality and vigor into the cultural inheritance and development."

In addition to Zhouyuan, Lishui also has many good mountains and waters, among which Wuxiang Mountain and Shijiu Lake are the most beautiful ecological business cards of Lishui. Standing by the Shijiu Lake, you can overlook the vast expanse of blue water, clear and open. The lake is like a "mirror of the sky". Every autumn and winter, swans, geese and other migratory birds are attracted to spend the winter, turning into a beautiful "Swan Lake". It is an online red card punching point for Nanjing and its surrounding ecotourism. Wuxiang Mountain National Forest Park, not far from Shijiu Lake, has a forest coverage rate of more than 95% and is the largest, most complete and most continuous ecosystem in southern Nanjing.

"Good ecology" and "high appearance" cannot be separated from local fine management and protection. In order to continue to protect the ecological environment of Shijiu Lake, Lishui integrated the management organization, gave full play to the advantages of the three-level lake leader system, implemented the mechanism of regular meetings and chambers of commerce, and solved problems face to face in coordination; At the same time, grid management should be carried out, with equal emphasis on both shore and water, inward protection and outward use. Based on pollution prevention, environmental improvement and ecological restoration, the functions of Shijiu Lake in flood control, water supply and ecology should be improved. In addition, Lishui District has helped promote the ecological protection, ecological construction and ecological development of the whole district by establishing and improving the ecological compensation system. Since 2015, it has invested about 300 million yuan to comprehensively clean up and rectify the environmental problems within the ecological red line area, and the work of "ecological beauty of Lishui" has achieved remarkable results.

The forest coverage rate of the whole area reaches 36.1%, and the natural wetland protection rate reaches 90%. It enjoys the reputation of "natural oxygen bar" and "urban green lung". It has become a national demonstration area for ecological civilization construction. Its green development level ranks 18th among the top 100 districts in China, and it has become one of the most livable areas in the Yangtze River Delta.

Among them, the artist health care yard built with an investment of 110 million yuan has been put into operation with four theme homestays, namely, dessert, coffee, intangible cultural heritage and photography, and 12 artists have settled in. According to the person in charge of B&B, as soon as it goes online, it has attracted much attention. During the summer vacation, B&B rooms are hard to find. Recently, Zhujia Village has also been awarded the first "calligraphy popularization and promotion base" by Jiangsu Calligraphy Institute, which has become a new practice of culture promoting rural revitalization.
