The first time I went to Tiger Hill was eight years ago. Just like this time, it was in early autumn and I was alone.

Today, in addition to revisiting memories at Tiger Hill, I discovered more small beauties. This is why I love Suzhou. Where can I get tired of strolling? Spring has its own beauty, autumn has its own charm, rainy and snowy days have a unique flavor, and even every time I go, I have different moods and paces. Suzhou, oh Suzhou, I miss you

Tiger Hill Scenic Area ➡️ Xiyuan Temple ➡️ Lingering Garden ➡️ Shantang Street ✅ Tiger Hill is a bit far from the city center, but you can take a bus there, and it's really worth a visit! There's our own Leaning Tower of Pisa in the East ✅ After leaving Tiger Hill, take a bus to Xiyuan Temple. You need to pay five yuan for incense money to enter the temple. There are really a lot of cats in Xiyuan Temple But it's better not to touch them, as many tourists have been scratched You must try the plain noodles in Xiyuan Temple, they are surprisingly tastier than expected! ✅ Walk from Xiyuan Temple to Lingering Garden, one of the four famous gardens in China I went there in October, and many flowers had already withered, but this season should be just right ✅ It's almost evening, walk from Lingering Garden to Shantang Street to see the night view, which is enough (Shantang Street is much more crowded than when I came to Suzhou a few years ago, if the queue is too long I think it's not worth wasting time, too commercialized)

To appreciate autumn in Suzhou, I must go to Tiger Hill! It's truly stunning The aftertaste of visiting Tiger Hill is really strong When I was taking pictures at Tiger Hill, there were too many people I didn't realize the photos taken by the camera were so good until I was selecting photos when I got back! I really like every single photo Last weekend, I went to both Tiger Hill Scenic Area and Humble Administrator's Garden Comparatively, I prefer the autumn scenery at Tiger Hill At Tiger Hill, you can capture more colors of autumn The layers of colors are really beautiful under the sunlight Tiger Hill Scenic Area

No longer entangled with Hangzhou, the back hill of Tiger Hill is also a green wonderland and tea garden in Suzhou. Tiger Hill Scenic Spot - North Gate 70 Visiting time: Enter before 4:30 pm (ticket sales stop at 4:30 pm), you can really experience a private venue It's my first time coming in from the back hill to play. Tiger Hill has always been said, 'Not visiting Tiger Hill when in Suzhou is a regret,' so not exploring the back hill of Tiger Hill is also a particularly regrettable thing especially you must find a cloudy day in spring~ It will be particularly green, like Huo Jianqi's movies Hangzhou's West Lake mountains can't roll anymore, Tiger Hill is also very nice, and there are really few people. After entering from the North Gate, row a boat, visit Little Wudang, turn right to the tea mountain, bamboo forest, stream, and then a few steps up the hill. I went around to the front hill and glanced at the deserted Sword Pond and Thousand People Rock, it's really cool and refreshing when there's no one. Tiger Hill Scenic Spot

Su Dongpo once said: If you have been to Suzhou but haven't visited Tiger Hill, you have missed something. What is so charming about Tiger Hill? Beautiful scenery, rich historical heritage, If you come to Tiger Hill in autumn, I believe you will feel the same! ▶️Autumn colors: The base color is yellow, with orange, bright yellow, and dark yellow intertwined; The red is the finishing touch, with fiery red, bright red, and orange red, Plus green, colorful, Even the most brilliant painter would find it difficult to recreate the colors of Tiger Hill in autumn. ▶️Cultural attractions: ⭐Tiger Hill Pagoda The Tiger Hill Pagoda, also known as the 'Yunyan Temple Pagoda', stands on the top of Tiger Hill. It was built during the Five Dynasties and completed in the second year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than a thousand years. The most amazing thing about it is that it is 'leaning but not falling', and it has become famous for its 'leaning'. It is the most famous leaning tower in China and the second most leaning ancient tower in the world. Its history is even longer than that of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the world's most leaning tower. ⭐Duanliang Hall The Duanliang Hall, as its name suggests, does not have a straight main beam, but uses two pieces of wood to disperse the force of the main beam to the brackets using the principle of leverage. This makes the main beam much lighter. Although the Duanliang Hall looks simple from the outside, it has a special feature: the entire building was built without any metal parts for reinforcement, using the traditional craft of 'bamboo and wood tenon'. It was built during the Yuan Dynasty and is still intact, which is a miracle. It is praised as the 'Duanliang Hall that has not fallen for a thousand years'. ⭐Yongcui Villa As a city of gardens, Suzhou has hundreds of large and small classical gardens. It is normal for the Tiger Hill Scenic Area to have garden landscapes. However, Yongcui Villa is very different from traditional Jiangnan classical gardens. It is said that water is the soul of classical gardens, but Yongcui Villa was built according to the terrain of Tiger Hill, so it is the only garden in Suzhou without water. Its unique layout makes it stand out among many gardens. ⭐Shenggong Lecture Platform The Shenggong Lecture Platform is where famous monks in ancient times traveled around and came to Tiger Hill to preach scriptures to believers. It is said that a stone understood and jumped up to nod to the monk, as if to say, 'I understand'. ⭐Sword Pool It is said that after King Helu of Wu was injured and died in the battle of Wu and Yue, he was buried in Tiger Hill, and the Sword Pool buried the treasure swords he collected in his lifetime, said to be more than 3,000, each of which is a unique treasure sword. It is said that both Emperor Qin Shihuang and Sun Quan led troops to dig here, but in the end, the entire mountain was almost dug up, but nothing was found. ⭐Tiger Hill has a history of more than 2,500 years and has experienced the development of all dynasties. There are endless historical stories to tell. For example: Hanhan Spring, Thousand People Stone......

Traveling from Wuxi to Suzhou, this time I chose to stay in the old city area, which is closer to various attractions, making dining, lodging, and transportation very convenient. The small city and small scenes are full of life! The old city area of Suzhou has largely maintained its original appearance, with no high-rise buildings, white walls and black tiles, small bridges over flowing water, and an antique charm! A day in Gusu, in the morning, visit the Lion Grove Garden, Humble Administrator's Garden, and Suzhou Museum together, and in the afternoon, go to Tiger Hill, Maple Bridge/Cold Mountain Temple, and Lingering Garden for a tour. The Lion Grove Garden is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou, and the most famous feature is the lake rockery, where the rocks resemble lions, forming a 'forest of lions'! The Humble Administrator's Garden is ranked first among the four famous gardens in China and is a model of classical gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It is famous for its long history, natural style, and elegant scenery. The Suzhou Museum was originally established in 1960 at the site of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Loyalty King's Mansion. In 2006, the Suzhou Museum designed by I.M. Pei was completed. The new museum combines traditional Suzhou architectural style with modern minimalist architectural features, looking both classical and elegant as well as fresh and beautiful! 'The foremost scenic spot in the land south of the Yangtze River,' they say, is Tiger Hill. The most famous attractions of Tiger Hill are the Tiger Hill Pagoda and the Sword Pool. The Tiger Hill Pagoda is the world's second most leaning tower and has a history of over a thousand years. This seven-story, eight-sided tower is 47.7 meters tall and leans towards the northeast. The top of the tower is 2.34 meters off-center, with a maximum inclination of 3 degrees and 59 minutes, and the Tiger Hill Pagoda is also known as 'China's Leaning Tower of Pisa.' From above, the Sword Pool resembles a flat-lying sword and is the most mysterious place in Tiger Hill, with many legends surrounding it. 'Moon sets, crows cry, frost fills the sky; Maple trees and fishermen's lights face my sleepless sorrow. Outside Gusu city, Cold Mountain Temple, midnight bell reaches the passenger boat.' This timeless quatrain has made the famous Cold Mountain Temple in Gusu. Once one of China's ten famous temples, the temple has many ancient relics, including the stone inscription of Zhang Ji's poem 'Mooring by Maple Bridge at Night,' stone carvings of Hanshan and Shide, fragments of inscriptions written by Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin, and outside the temple, the ancient Maple Bridge. The Lingering Garden is one of the four famous gardens in China, a large classical private garden representing the Qing Dynasty style. The garden is known for its architectural art, with spacious and magnificent halls, courtyards full of changes, and an irregular layout that integrates garden buildings with mountains, water, and rocks to create a natural charm, truly unique!

The mountain is clear and the water is clean, frost comes at night, Several trees are deep red and light yellow. · A piece of fallen leaves has rendered the autumn color, A season of fallen flowers has experienced the vicissitudes of life. Autumn is the most colorful season, with heavy colors, Poetic and picturesque. · The walkway in front of the Cold Fragrance Pavilion on Tiger Hill, Can satisfy all your "fantasies" about late autumn, Exclaim that Tiger Hill can be so beautiful! · Let me introduce the Cold Fragrance Pavilion here. The Cold Fragrance Pavilion is located to the north of the Yoncui Villa on Tiger Hill. Because there are hundreds of plum trees of various colors in front of the pavilion, it is famous for its red buds and green calyxes, sparse shadows and dark fragrance every early spring. In the seventh year of the Republic of China (1918), on the Lantern Festival, Jin Songcen, a master of the generation, brought two sons, rode a donkey and stepped on the snow, and went out of Changmen to Tiger Hill for sightseeing. He chose a vacant high ground to the north of Yoncui Villa on Tiger Hill and to the south of the Third Spring, intending to plant plums and build a pavilion here to enhance the landscape of Tiger Hill and facilitate the citizens of Suzhou to enjoy the plums nearby, so as to avoid the labor of "exploring plums must be in Dengwei, and staying back must be a three-day journey". · 🏠Address: No. 8, Inner Gate, Tiger Hill, Gusu District, Suzhou City ⭐Ticket: 60. 🚗Transportation: It is recommended to drive to the scenic spot parking lot ⏰Time: 7:30 — 17:30 ·

👉The origin of the name Tiger Hill It is said that during the Spring and Autumn period, King Fuchai of Wu buried his father Helü here. Three days after the burial, a white tiger crouched on it, hence the name 'Tiger Hill'. 👉Tiger Hill is known for its 'three excellences', 'nine appropriatenesses', and 'eighteen scenes'.

The 'nine appropriatenesses' refer to: appropriate for moon, snow, rain, smoke, spring dawn, summer coolness, autumn freshness, wood, and sunset. The 'eighteen scenes' refer to: Yunyan Temple Pagoda (Tiger Hill Pagoda), Sword Pool, Thousand People Stone, Lu Yu Well, Wan Jing Mountain Villa, Broken Beam Hall, Han Han Spring, Sword Testing Stone, Yong Cui Mountain Villa, Pillow Stone, True Mother's Tomb, Sun Wu's Military Training Field (Sun Wu Pavilion), Wang Su Platform, Hai Yong Bridge, Sheng Gong Lecture Platform (Nodding Stone), Two Immortals Pavilion, Unique Cave Heaven, Zhi Shuang Pavilion. Although it's been quite a while into winter❄️, the beauty of Suzhou's autumn is still imprinted in my mind, making me reminisce endlessly🧡 I want to say that Tiger Hill in autumn is too beautiful and photogenic! Although most of the ginkgo leaves at the entrance have fallen, which is a bit regrettable, after entering, I found that the beauty of the red maple is also absolute! After entering, follow the footpath on the left all the way down, there are many popular photo check-in points, very photogenic, and there are many beautiful ancient style girls taking travel photos🥰
