Tiger Hill's three excellences, nine appropriatenesses, and eighteen scenes
👉The origin of the name Tiger Hill
It is said that during the Spring and Autumn period, King Fuchai of Wu buried his father Helü here. Three days after the burial, a white tiger crouched on it, hence the name 'Tiger Hill'.
👉Tiger Hill is known for its 'three excellences', 'nine appropriatenesses', and 'eighteen scenes'.
The 'three excellences' refer to: this mountain is just a small hill, but when you climb it, there are steep peaks and cliffs, with a force like a thousand weights and clouds appearing and disappearing, which is the first excellence; the second excellence is the temple hidden in the green mountains; the sword pool is neither full nor empty; it has always been clear, which is the third excellence.
The 'nine appropriatenesses' refer to: appropriate for moon, snow, rain, smoke, spring dawn, summer coolness, autumn freshness, wood, and sunset.
The 'eighteen scenes' refer to: Yunyan Temple Pagoda (Tiger Hill Pagoda), Sword Pool, Thousand People Stone, Lu Yu Well, Wan Jing Mountain Villa, Broken Beam Hall, Han Han Spring, Sword Testing Stone, Yong Cui Mountain Villa, Pillow Stone, True Mother's Tomb, Sun Wu's Military Training Field (Sun Wu Pavilion), Wang Su Platform, Hai Yong Bridge, Sheng Gong Lecture Platform (Nodding Stone), Two Immortals Pavilion, Unique Cave Heaven, Zhi Shuang Pavilion.
Although it's been quite a while into winter❄️, the beauty of Suzhou's autumn is still imprinted in my mind, making me reminisce endlessly🧡
I want to say that Tiger Hill in autumn is too beautiful and photogenic! Although most of the ginkgo leaves at the entrance have fallen, which is a bit regrettable, after entering, I found that the beauty of the red maple is also absolute! After entering, follow the footpath on the left all the way down, there are many popular photo check-in points, very photogenic, and there are many beautiful ancient style girls taking travel photos🥰
I went in on the afternoon of May 3rd. There were many people but not crowded. The staff arranged in an orderly manner. The temperature was slightly higher that day, but walking in the shade made people feel comfortable. There was a sightseeing car inside. We went from the north gate to the south gate. It was a good trip.
Built in the early Song Dynasty, the Tiger Hill Tower, more than a thousand years ago, the real name Yunyan Temple Tower, the tower is seven floors and eight sides are octagonal, the tower top iron brake has been poured, the existing brick structure 47.5 meters. I saw you again after 20 years, you have not changed me old.
During the Spring Festival, it is indeed a classic 5A attraction. The sky is too crowded. You must go early and make an appointment in advance. It is best to find a professional interpreter, and finally the historical and cultural connotation is very deep.
Huqiu is worth visiting. It is much larger than the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lion Forest. Although it is a weekend, it is not crowded, but the tower and the forest are really nothing special. There is no recognition. Nanning is basically the same, and it looks better and cheaper, and the spirit is more beautiful. But there is a small pavilion and pavilion at the exit.
Going on May 4, get up early and catch up for a night. Because the distance of the hotel and the reverse bus ride, it was a waste of time. After arriving, it was more than 11 o'clock and went shopping for more than two hours. I have learned the historical legends of trying sword stones, stone pillows, thousands of people's stones, and other caves. Checked in China's "Leaning Tower of Pisa". There are fewer people on this day and the environment is good. A store near the exit ate noodles and charged the electricity for free, which eased the dilemma of insufficient mobile phone power.
Huqiu Scenic Area is the first stop on the third day of Suzhou. When we entered the main entrance, we were preparing to start climbing the mountain with a drumbeat, and a girl in a sightseeing car greeted us and said that the car could take us to the top of the mountain and then visit from top to bottom. When you reach the top of the mountain, look up and see the famous Leaning Tower Yunyan Temple Tower in front of you. If you compare the two windows and fences at the bottom, the tilt is clear at a glance. Such a Leaning Tower, which can stand for thousands of years, is really a miracle! Down the stone steps, I came to the famous attraction "Huqiu Jianchi". Many people are here to take a photo with these four words to punch in. Then down the slope, I saw the spring and the green villa. I think the name "Yongcui Villa" is particularly charming! After the broken beam hall, I returned to the location of the sightseeing bus at the main entrance of the mountain. On our way to the exit of the small bridge, we found that the door on the left side of the road read "Wanjing Mountain Villa", which I saw in the Raiders. Entering Wanjing Villa, I found that there is a cave. There are hundreds of beautiful and beautiful Su-pai bonsai bonsais here, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of our lazyness in Yangzhou Slender West Lake because we are lazy and did not go to see the Yangpai bonsai exhibition. But after returning to the hotel, when I watched the Huqiu video, I found that there were still two attractions that we regretted to miss, one was Wu Wangxuan's test sword caster, the Moxie Bao sword front cast by the Moxie couple, and the other was the pillow stone of Tang Bohu Zhuzhishan's bet. This may be the convenience of downhill, easy and labor-saving. But anyway, the trip to Huqiu fully validated what Su Dongpo said, "It is a pity not to visit Huqiu in Suzhou."
Huqiu during the May Day holiday is already the least crowded in Suzhou attractions. It is very convenient to take a taxi to the north gate. It is very convenient to climb up all the way. When you walk to the south gate and go back, you don't have to climb up again. After turning around the mountain, you will return to the north gate. There are still a lot fewer people in the north gate, and the return car will be better.
Huqiu Mountain is a 5A-level scenic spot located in the northwest of Suzhou Ancient City, with the reputation of "Wuzhong First Mountain". Although Huqiu Mountain is not high, it is just suitable for us to climb. The scenery is beautiful and the scenery is everywhere. It can make the human body feel like the south of the Yangtze River. It is a good place to take pictures. Huqiu Mountain has a history of more than 2,500 years. There are many attractions worth seeing, such as Jianchi, Huqiu Tower, etc. It has high cultural and historical value. Huqiu Mountain has a low altitude and the mountain road is not steep. Children can walk by themselves and are not too tired. It is a place suitable for families to travel. There are many tourists in Huqiu Mountain during the May Day holiday, and it is a bit crowded. It is very convenient for Shanghai to drive here by car.
