Zili Village was established in the 17th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1837). It is composed of three natural villages with the surname of Anheli, He'anli, and Yonganli. In the early days of the founding of New China, the three villages were collectively called Zili Village, which means "self-reliance". The traditional houses and towers in the village are harmoniously distributed, scattered in a neat pattern, dotted with lotus ponds, and the unique rural charm is particularly attractive.

Li Yuan is a garden villa built in the 20th century by Mr. Xie Weili, an overseas Chinese living in the United States. It subtly integrates the charm of classical gardens with the architectural features of villas popular in Europe and the United States at that time, presenting a unique architectural beauty. Its artistic conception is "small bridge, flowing water, people". The layout of the garden is divided into three areas: large garden, small garden and villa area, which are self-contained, separated by artificial rivers or walls, and connected by bridge pavilions or corridors. It can be said that there is a garden in the garden, and there is a scene in the scenery, which is intriguing.
