About
Lishui is a mountain city in Zhejiang Province, in eastern China. Its name is also written 丽水. The city is set among hills and waterways, and its surroundings are its main draw for most visitors.
The natural scenery is the heart of a visit. Lishui is known for its green landscapes and for an ecological approach to tourism, where time outdoors and the local environment are central to the experience. The city is also associated with a clean environment and with a style of development that puts green values first, which gives many visitors a relaxed impression of the place.
Traditional culture is another part of the city's character. Visitors interested in local customs and older ways of life will find that the setting and the culture fit together well, making Lishui a destination for slower travel rather than a fast-paced city break.
