Su Dongpo was right! Tiger Hill is the best place to enjoy the fall foliage.

As the saying goes, "If you visit Suzhou without visiting Tiger Hill, you have missed out." What makes Tiger Hill so special? The stunning fall colors and rich history will make you fall in love with this place. 🎨 Fall Colors: The base color is yellow, with shades of orange, bright yellow, and dark yellow interwoven. Red is the highlight, with fiery red, bright red, and orange-red leaves. Add a touch of green, and you have a colorful palette that even the best painters would struggle to replicate. 🏛️ Cultural Attractions: 🌟 Tiger Hill Pagoda: Also known as "Yunyan Temple Pagoda," it stands atop Tiger Hill. Built during the Later Zhou Dynasty of the Five Dynasties period and completed in the second year of the Jianlong era of the Northern Song Dynasty, it has a history of over a thousand years. Its most remarkable feature is its tilt, earning it the title of China's most famous leaning tower and the second most tilted ancient leaning tower in the world, with a history older than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. 🌟 Broken Beam Hall: As the name suggests, the main beam is not a straight piece of wood but is supported by two wooden beams using the lever principle, distributing the weight to the brackets. The hall's exterior is simple, but its unique feature is that no metal parts were used in its construction. Built during the Yuan Dynasty, it remains intact to this day, a testament to its durability, earning it the nickname "the thousand-year-old hall." 🌟 Yung Tsui Villa: Unlike traditional Jiangnan classical gardens, Yung Tsui Villa is built along the slopes of Tiger Hill, making it the only waterless garden in Suzhou. Its unique layout sets it apart from other gardens. 🌟 Shengong Lecture Platform: In ancient times, a high monk traveled here to preach to his followers. Legend has it that a stone understood the teachings, leaped up, and nodded to the monk as if to say, "I understand." 🌟 Sword Pond: Legend has it that King Helu of Wu was buried at Tiger Hill after being injured in the Wu-Yue War. The Sword Pond is said to contain over 3,000 legendary swords collected by Helu throughout his life. Even Qin Shi Huang and Sun Quan led troops to dig for them, but they never found them. 🌟 With over 2,500 years of history, Tiger Hill has been developed over the centuries and is home to countless historical stories, such as the Hanhanspring and the Thousand People Stone.
