Later generations called the East Lake Leihu because Wang Xie was named leichen.

The 3000 square meter Zhengde square, built in October 1998, is the north gate of Chu Xiu garden. The three big characters "Chu Xiu garden" on the gate tower are written by the famous calligrapher Qi Qinglong. When you enter the north gate, you will see the yuwangtai to be built. Turning right for tens of meters, you will see the "yuelongchi". In the pond, a dragon carved in stone is lifelike. It seems that it wants to jump out of the water and fly to the sky. The stone tablet beside the pond is engraved with "yuelongchi" in official script. There is also an interesting legend about its origin: during the Zhengde reign of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhengde of emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty "cruised" to qingjiangpu to catch fish in Yaxing. He rowed a boat to the shuishuichi (now the northwest corner of Leihu Lake), capsized and drowned, so that he was frightened. After returning to Beijing, he fell ill and died. So later generations named the place where he fell into the water "yuelongchi". Around the Yuelong pool, there is a pavilion not far away, looming among the green pines and cypresses, with green roofs, purple columns and glazed cornices. There is a stone tablet in the middle of the pavilion, where the imperial temple Pavilion is located. The inscription on the stele is "rebuilding the poetry Pavilion of Kangxi". When Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty visited the river affairs for the first time, he praised the river governor for his contribution to water control and built the river embankment.

Chu Xiuyuan takes full advantage of the flat terrain and the crisscross rivers, and takes the layout of water as the main part. It has a Leihu Lake in the north, a Nanhu Lake in the south, a West Lake in the west, and a Lihu Lake in the middle. It also has a beautiful pattern of islands in the lake, lakes in the island, and islands connected with each other. It also uses plants to make scenery and decorate pavilions. It is a miniature of green water Huai'an and a good place for people to visit and rest.

After the transformation, the environment of Chu Xiu garden is more beautiful, the scenic spots are more attractive, the features are more distinctive, and the facilities are more complete. It not only creates a new landscape platform, but also shows rich cultural heritage. The west entrance square forms a distinctive central axis with the theme landscape of Yuelong bridge, Yaoshun heaven and earth, green bamboo carving waterfall, earth Carving Dragon, scenic waterfall and floating silk.

In the middle of the bridge, there is a special pedestrian lane with wooden floor, and on both sides are carriageways, which ensures the safety and comfort of people's activities in the square. Through the Yuelong bridge, the large sculpture Yao Shun heaven and earth standing in the middle of the square catches people's eyes with its tall and straight shape. The two red pillars represent the joint efforts of Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun to create the world. The water curtain in the middle embodies Dayu's spirit of water control, and the glass cone in the lower part symbolizes the achievements of their cause. The whole sculpture contains the deep foundation of Chu culture, which means the profound influence of Chu culture on the land of China. If you open your eyes, you can see the bamboo carving waterfall in the distance, which is combined with the west gate of Chu Xiuyuan, cleverly carrying out the transition inside and outside the garden. The 32 meter waterfall wall is evolved from the texture of chime bells, an ancient musical instrument. The rhythm of "carving" water shows the style of Chu culture. Further to the East is the green ecological square. The axis of the square is connected with the largest cruise terminal in the park. In the east of the square, facing the lake, the grassland is surrounded by hills, forming an elegant regional landscape. Around the water surface of Lihu lake, the scenic spots such as fir forest on the water, lakeside corridor, water stage and spring Pavilion all show their colors, which fully reflects the green water landscape characteristics of Chuxiu garden.

Around the lake, you can see the beautiful scenery of the north entrance from the faint lotus fragrance. The north entrance square opens the viewing axis with Chu Yuntai, and the eight scenes of Chu show are carved along the axis to lead people into the garden. Based on the legend of "eight sceneries of Leihu", the park has created new eight sceneries of Chu show: Primula with thousand sails, Ruoxu with bamboo shadow, sunset of Leihu, broken Pu with fishing song, spring with peach and plum, Hanchuan with moon, piccolo setting sun and snow with pine catalpa. Eight sceneries are distributed along the main road in the park, dotted with the lake landscape in the park, making the landscape characteristics of the whole park more distinctive. Corresponding to the eight sceneries are: Yingfan Bay, Ruoxu Pavilion, sunset Gallery, Yupu terrace, Huanchun Pavilion, moon shadow wall, pastoral garden and Songliao house, which provide visitors with a place to rest and also show the cultural heritage of Chu Xiu garden.
