Upon entering, you are greeted by the mountain at Huashan Scenic Area
Huashan is a relatively lesser-known natural scenic spot in Suzhou. The mountain is not high, and there are not many people, making it suitable for almost everyone to climb and enjoy the view.
Due to its secluded location and beautiful rocks, Huashan has historically been a place where many hermits chose to live, dating back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. To this day, the scenic area still retains many inscriptions and writings left by famous scholars. At the top of the mountain, there are ancient temple ruins, and the February orchids that bloom in early spring are particularly beautiful. The deep blue color in the mountains shows the strong vitality of life. There is a small stream flowing beside the path down the mountain, and during the rainy seasons of spring and summer, small waterfalls can form at the drops.
An interesting aspect is that as soon as you step into the entrance of Huashan Scenic Area, you are immediately on the mountain and have to start climbing the steps. There is no room for negotiation, and perhaps not having a choice is the best choice.
At the entrance of Huashan Scenic Area, there is a hotel with a retreat and homestay style. Those who enjoy hiking and quiet retreats can consider staying there.
Location: Jianlin Huashan Natural Scenic Area, Fengqiao Town, Suzhou New District.
Ticket: 60 RMB.
Transportation: You can take the subway or bus, transfer to bus 357 at Green Treasure Plaza in the New District, and it will take you to the destination. A taxi from Green Treasure Plaza costs about 15 RMB.

Hiking Mount Huashan in Suzhou, a hidden gem in Suzhou
🌈Attraction Features: Tianchi Mountain Huashan Scenic Area is a 4A-level scenic spot. Huashan, also known as Mount Hua, has an elevation of 171 meters, with its main peak, Lotus Peak, known as 'the most famous mountain in the Wu region.' Huashan is lush and serene, with babbling springs, flowers blooming in all seasons, verdant and dripping with greenery, and its odd peaks, strange rocks, and cliff carvings are overwhelmingly beautiful. If you like hiking and nature, you must come to Mount Huashan in Suzhou to experience it! The moment you reach the top of the mountain, you feel a sudden broadening of your view, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire Suzhou, without the noise of the city, only tranquility and beauty!
🕐️Opening Hours: Free admission
📍Detailed Address: Drive to: Linjiang Lang Guanyin Hall, where you can park on the roadside for free.
🏝️Recommended Route: 1. After parking, take the small path next to Linjiang Lang Guanyin Hall to go up the mountain, walk about 100 meters, and you will find the entrance to the Hejiuling Trail. Follow the mountain road straight ahead. You will encounter the first supply point with a signpost, follow the direction to Tianchi Mountain Huashan. This section is more challenging to climb. Continue walking, and you will come to the second signpost, follow the direction to Tianchi Mountain, and reach the top of 'Lotus Peak,' the highest peak in the Wu region, where there is a supply point. Then follow the signpost towards Tianchi Mountain. The whole journey is a stone slope road, which is quite interesting. There is only one road to follow, and when you see a pavilion, you have reached the Tianchi Mountain Scenic Area. On the way back, exit from Cuiyan Temple and walk down a bit to find the exit of Huashan. Turn left on the main road to return to the parking spot.
💗Other tips: There are toilets only at the bottom of the mountain in Tianchi Mountain Scenic Area, so it is recommended to use the restroom before climbing. It is advisable to wear gloves, which will make climbing much easier, and to wear non-slip shoes to ensure safety.
