Introduction to Anli: Limutai, formerly known as Limutai, is located in a deep mountain canyon. It is the only platform in the valley, with many sour pear trees growing around it. According to the Records of Jizhou during the Kangxi period: "In the eighteenth year of Kangxi, a major earthquake occurred. In the spring of the following year, plague prevailed, killing countless humans and animals... However, none of the people who had lived around Limu Antai for a long time were infected with the disease." This strange incident was reported to the court by local officials, so Kangxi ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. It was found that the residents living near Limu Antai escaped this disaster by eating sour pears all year round (sour pears have anti-infection, anti-virus, and anti-cold effects). Emperor Kangxi was so happy that he gave the sour pears here "Anli", which means peace and health. Since Emperor Kangxi gave the word "An" to the sour pear, "Limu Antai" was renamed "Limutai", which is still in use today.
