The gardens are much more enjoyable than the Pagoda and you should take the time to see the exquisite penzai, which are Chinese versions of bonsai and rock gardens combined. The Pagoda was rebuilt after being destroyed and none of the original detail remains.

One of the best place to visit if you are in Suzhou. I think morning hours are the best time to visit this place.

It was a great experience, it was so fun I really enjoyed it.

Old pagoda well maintanance with beautiful view

Comfortable place. Had the pleasure to listen an excellent English speaking Tour guide and visit a beautiful tea house.

To much of humidity, please carry your portable fan and umbrella 🌂

A full day worth of discovering the beautiful gardens of Tiger Hill. Food is available for purchase here.

It will be a shame if you visits Suzhou without coming here.

It’s a nice garden, you can tell they take care of it. The monument is much smaller than I expected but still worth to visit. I was there on November and the place was almost empty which made it easy to enjoy

If you have a free afternoon then it is a nice place to walk around, but I would not say it is the best that Suzhou has to offer.

Such a nice heritage site in Suzhou, plenty of historical monuments and buildings we can see in here. Highly recommend to visit.

Huqiu, or Tiger Hill （虎丘）, is one of the most famous tourist sites in Suzhou The hill's name is said to come from the fact it looks like a crouching tiger. Another legend states that a white tiger appeared on the hill to guard it following the burial of King Helü. The hill is also sometimes referred to in parallel with "Lion Mountain", another hill near Suzhou which resembles a sitting lion. According to the historical records, the King of Wu Helu (514 to 496 BC, the source of the idiom 卧薪尝胆, one of the most powerful and greatest kings during the Spring and Autumn Period) was buried on the hill, called then "the Hill Emerging from the Sea". The legend goes that three days after his burial a white tiger appeared squatting on the hill. Hence the name. It has an elevation of over 30m and covers about 20 hectare. Tiger Hill boasts impressive rocks, deep dales, three matchless scenes, nine suitable occasions for enjoyment, 18 scenic spots, and changing scenery at all times. No wonder it has been an awe-inspiring sight in the area south of the Lower Yangtze. The Yunyan Temple Pagoda and the Sword Pool are well-known features of the hill. With a history going back more than 1,000 years, the simple, archaic and imposing Yunyan Temple Pagoda, also known as the Second Leaning Tower on earth, stands aloft at the top of the hill, serving as a symbol of ancient Suzhou for years, The Tomb of the Wu King Helu under the Sword Pool has remained an unsolved mystery for millennium. The story goes that the great Jin master Wang Xizhi traded his calligraphy for lovable geese from the Taoist Abbot. The windy vale and cloudy spring are said to make the visitor too reluctant to leave. there are many Cherry blossoms at the hillside, may be a surprise to come across them, especially in rainy gloomy day

Very nice attraction, so much to see and do. Just be prepared to spend the whole day there!
