Unlock the secrets of Suzhou's Tiger Hill on Qingming Festival, and explore the mystery of its 2500-year-old charm
Dear friends, instead of staying at home during the Qingming holiday, I chose to head to Suzhou to seek out the legendary "Number One Scenic Spot in Wu"—Tiger Hill Scenic Area!🌄
👣【Dawn Departure】
I got up early in the morning, taking advantage of the spring dawn, I went straight to Tiger Hill. There were already quite a few tourists at the entrance of the scenic area, but the tranquility of the morning mixed with the warm sunshine made for a pleasant mood. Remember to set off early to avoid the peak of the crowd!⏰
🌳【Ancient Trees Reaching the Sky】
Upon entering the scenic area, I was stunned by the ancient trees that have witnessed a thousand years of history. Walking among them, it's as if you can hear them telling the story of King Fuchai of Wu.🌱
📸【Beneath the Tiger Hill Pagoda】
Of course, you can't miss the iconic building—Tiger Hill Pagoda. It stands tall on the top of the hill, weathered by wind and rain, yet still proud. Taking photos here, you can feel the beauty of the "Nine Suitabilities" as described by the ancients, each moment is a beautiful painting.🖼️
🚶♀️【Winding Paths Leading to Seclusion】
Climbing up the stone steps, the garden landscapes on both sides of the path are enchanting. With every step, there's a new view, and each turn brings a surprise, as if walking into a flowing landscape painting.🏞️
🍃【Spring Colors Fill the Garden】
In the prime of spring, peach and cherry blossoms are blooming in competition, and the air is filled with a light fragrance of flowers. Don't forget to take a deep breath and fill your heart with the scent of spring.🌸
If you're driving, a road trip is a good choice, convenient for stopping anytime to enjoy the scenery along the way.🚗 Alternatively, Suzhou's public transportation is also well-developed, and you can easily reach the destination by subway or bus.🚆
🍽️【Gourmet Break】
During the tour, don't forget to try the local snacks, such as Suzhou's desserts and Biluochun tea from the teahouses, letting your taste buds travel as well.🍵
🌅【Sunset】
At the end of the day, leave with the afterglow of the sunset, the silhouette of Tiger Hill becomes softer against the skyline. At that moment, I understood why the ancients would say, such a scene should exist only in heaven and not on earth.✨
Don't hesitate, come to Suzhou's Tiger Hill this Qingming holiday, and give yourself a cultural journey through time!💖
Remember to bring a good mood, and with this guide, start your wonderful journey to Suzhou's Tiger Hill! Have a pleasant trip!🎉
Go early and parking is convenient. The mountain is not high, climbing is not tired, the big platform and the sword pool, these places are quite special, there are stories, so it is a bit interesting, and the leaning tower is good. The overall feeling is that this scenic spot is still a bit interesting.
Summary: Compared with other landscapes in Suzhou, the scenery of Huqiu is also OK; it covers a large area, suitable for strolling around, playing with friends and taking pictures. Details: In the afternoon, we spent more than two hours, so we didn't play seriously. Tiger Hill Tower, Jianchi, Zhenniang Tomb, Yongcui Mountain Villa, Wanjing Mountain Villa, Thousand People's Stone, Test Sword Stone, etc. can only be seen passing by in a hurry. I encountered a small thing that day. When we parked, in the north parking lot of Huqiu Scenic Area, we met a female salesman who sold the scenic spot package ticket; We didn't think she was a liar, that is, she simply didn't want the package ticket she promoted, because we went there on Saturday afternoon, even if we bought the package ticket that day, we had time to visit various attractions. We entered the park at that time, we couldn't play other spending projects, we could only stroll around the scenic spot, so we declined her kindness; we bought two tickets directly from the visitor center. I met many young people who came to take pictures in the attractions, especially the young ladies wearing various Hanfus. Moreover, on the steps in front of the entrance of Yongcui Villa and in front of the Jianchi, a group of Cosplay was surrounded and photographed by many people, watching that it should be the organized secondary activities of these young people. Huqiu, with a history of more than 2,500 years, if you enjoy it leisurely in the scenic spot, I feel that it takes a day. We saw in Huqiu Scenic Area that day that there were a lot of tourists, and the flow was endless. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when we left the exit, there were still tourists who had just entered.
Take the children to Suzhou for tourism, Huqiu is one of the must-check points, take a taxi from the city center, we walked up and walked down for less than an hour, and took a break on the top of the mountain halfway, and then returned to the door to take a boat to Qilishantang. We're just two chartered boats, haha
Huqiu is very worth a visit. The winter scenery is so beautiful, come back when the mountain flowers are full, you must deeply feel the lush, red and leafy summer! If time permits, you have to put Tiger Hill in the itinerary and slowly feel the place that the emperor likes.
Huqiu can see most of the attractions according to the tour map south gate route. Each attraction has popularized historical and humanistic knowledge. 1. The blind monk in the spring has cured his eyes with spring water; 2. Test sword stone ~ dry will not evil sword, test sword with stone, and divide the stone into two; 3. True Woman Tomb ~ Tang Anshi's chaotic exile in the Qinglou, died by himself. Leading celebrity inscriptions; 4. Thousands of people stone ~ places where the monks teach; 5. Sun Wu Training Ground ~ places where Wu Wang Aiji is beheaded, there are now allusion films screening; 6. Huqiu Jianchi ~ Wu Wang Funeral at the bottom of the pool, and there are thousands of swords to accompany it; (mistaken to think that Wu's husband who was killed by Gou Jian was worse 😂) 7. Yunyan Temple Pagoda ~ The ancient pagoda built in the Song Dynasty, the iconic monument of Huqiu!
Huqiu is very beautiful, one step at a time, and it took almost 6 hours to walk and stop. Huashenyuan is still under construction, and the garden inside is beautiful. But the water in the artificial pool is more turbid, and there are some commercial shoots. It often takes up a good-looking place to shoot. It doesn't matter if you take a few pictures. You can shoot for five or six minutes. Others don't go. I can't take pictures if I want to take pictures. I hope the scenic spot can be managed.
The tour bus in Huqiu Mountain really feels that there is no need to sit. It is more than 300 meters above sea level. It feels like the strength of climbing 3 floors at most. The road up the mountain is very gentle, that is, the elderly can slowly walk up with crutches. The main attractions of Huqiu Mountain are very close, and special military travel can be completed in 10 minutes. But when you stroll on the path and feel the breeze, I suddenly feel that the aura on the mountain is very abundant. It really suddenly feels like this. It may be that the air is very good. In the form of dozens of tickets, my mother and I walked around the corner of the scenic spot. Because of this aura, I recommend everyone to go to PS: I think the temple at the foot of the mountain is very similar to the temple when Su Wukong and Yang Tong fight in the travel history.
Huqiu is a historic scenic spot in Suzhou, located in the northwest suburbs of Suzhou City, about 5 kilometers from the city center. Tiger Hill Tower is the landmark building of the scenic spot, also known as Yunyan Temple Tower, is an octagonal seven-level brick and wooden structure ancient tower built in the Song Dynasty, known as the "Oriental Pisa Leaning Tower" due to the tilt of the tower. In addition to the Huqiu Tower, Huqiu has many other places of interest, including Jianchi, Broken Liangdian, Thousand People's Stone, Shenggong podium, etc. Jianchi is a sword-like pond, which is rumored to be the place where Wu Wang buried the sword. The temple is named after the broken beam of the roof of the temple. There are many stone artworks on display. The stone of thousands is a huge rock, which is legendary as the site of the tomb of Wu Wangxuan, which was named after thousands of workers who excavated it. The Shenggong podium is a place to commemorate the Song Dynasty high monk pig iron. Huqiu is not only a historical and cultural site, but also one of the representatives of Suzhou garden art. The natural scenery and humanistic landscape complement each other, attracting countless domestic and foreign tourists to visit.
