Huqiu Pagoda, also known as the Yunyan Temple Pagoda, was built in the ninth year of Renshou (601), Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty. It was first built into a wooden pagoda and then destroyed. The existing Huqiu Pagoda was built in the eighth year of Ganyou in the latter Zhou Dynasty to the second year of Jianlong in the Song Dynasty (959-961). The tower system is planar octagonal, grade seven. The original top of the tower was destroyed by lightning. When it was rebuilt in 1956, a large number of precious cultural relics such as stone letters, sutras, bronze Buddhas, bronze mirrors and lotus bowls of Yue kiln celadon were found in the third layer. The Huqiu Pagoda is 47.5 meters high. Its body is made of bricks and weighs more than 6,000 tons. According to records, due to foundation reasons, since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the Huqiu Tower tilted northwest. The center of the top of the tower deviated from the bottom center by 2.3 meters, which is known as the "Leaning Tower of Oriental Pisa". In 1956, the Suzhou Municipal Government invited experts in ancient architecture to adopt iron hoop grouting to reinforce and renovate the pagoda. Finally, the pagoda was preserved. In 1961, it was listed as one of the key cultural relics protection units in China.

    Located in the northwest suburb of Suzhou City, five kilometers from the center of the city. Enjoy the reputation of "Wuzhong's first victory". Originally known as Haiyong Mountain. Sit down and visit the world, and you can't tire of visiting Tiger Hill. It is the best admiration for Tiger Hill Mountain.

    Huqiu is very big, and it takes about 3 hours to travel in depth. It is recommended that Huqiu is fun and it is best to choose to go in the afternoon and visit until the door is closed. You can take photos that work well.

    Locals call it the Tiger Hill Leaning Tower, but its real name is not much known. It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Wuba, there was a god beast white tiger plate on it, and later established a monastery here. The ancient temple has long disappeared, leaving only this millennium ancient tower, listening to the birds and Zen sounds in the lonely, watching the years in the yellow leaf flying dance.

    The pagoda is located in the backyard of the Daxiong Pagoda. It is a well-preserved brick tower in the Northern Song Dynasty (key cultural relics protected nationwide). It is one of the iconic landscapes of Suzhou tourism.
