Su Dongpo reputedly said “it is a lifelong pity if you have visited Suzhou without an appearance in Tiger Hill” and, while I managed to avoid it the first few times I came to Suzhou and wasn’t aware of any lifelong pity, it is a nice place to head for on a bike trip
Adventures On Wheels, Located in the northwestern outskirts of the city, Tiger Hill is the resting place of the supposed founder of Suzhou, Emperor He Lu.
Legend has it that a white tiger appeared at the top of the hill just days after he was entombed. Inside the park you’ll find numerous temples, pavilions and ponds and the 10th-century, 98-foot-tall Yunyan (or leaning) Pagoda, China’s version of Pisa, which currently stands at an angle of 15 degrees!
