The Tiger Hill Scenic Spot is located in the northwest of the ancient city of Suzhou, covering an area of more than 20 hectares. It is one of National 5A Level Secnic Spots. With a history of more than 2500 years, the Tiger Hill has been “the first scenic spot in Suzhou” ever since the Spring and Autumn Period. Su Dongpo, a literary giant of the Northern Song Dynasty, once said that it would be a pity to take a trip to Suzhou without visiting the Tiger Hill. According to history, the Tomb of Wu King Helu, Sword Pond (Jian Chi), Thousand People Rock( Qian Ren Shi), Sheng Gong’s Platform, Han Han Spring, the Sword-Testing Rock, the Broken Beam Temple, the 3rd Spring under Heaven and the Verdurous Mountain Villa are all records of the Tiger Hill Scenic Spot’s history. Originally built in the Five Dynasties, the majestic Tiger Hill Pagoda is a symbol of the ancient city of Suzhou. The spring and tea in the Tiger Hill enjoy an excellent reputation. More than 600 bonsais of Suzhou style are in the Bonsai Garden at the foot of the hill. There are flower show in spring and temple fair in autumn. These folk customs have been spread so far and can also be traced far back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Tiger Hill Ancient Pagoda is a shining pearl on the Grand Canal, and was selected as a World Cultural Heritage Site in China’s Grand Canal Heritage List in 2014.
