Why go
During the war against Japan, academic institutions moved inland, and Lizhuang became one of their temporary homes. That history can be read through the former university spaces and interpretive exhibits rather than through a generic old-town stroll. The riverfront adds the geographic setting that made this small Sichuan town part of a larger national movement.
What to look for
- Find former academic sites associated with Tongji University.
- Use the Zhang family ancestral hall exhibits to follow the wartime story.
- Walk the Yangtze riverfront to understand the town’s setting.
Useful to know
- Begin with the wartime-history sites, then continue to the riverfront.
- Check access to the ancestral hall and any former academic building before the visit.
