Stop At: Tiger Hill, No.8 Huqiushan, Suzhou 215008 China
Known also as Surging Sea Hill, covers over 14,100 square meters (over three acres) and is 36 meters (118 feet) in height. Although the hill is relatively small, it has rich history. Climbing it, you will find a number of historical sites, some of which can be traced back over 2500 years ago, the founding year of Suzhou.
There are thousands of magnificent bonsai trees on display in the Tiger Hill. Many of the specimens you can see have been recognized in prestigious bonsai competitions.
There can be little doubt that Tiger Hill is a wonderful sight with its leaning pagoda, waterfalls and landscaped paths. It is hard to believe that it was man made to be the cemetery of king but this is yet another part of the wonder in China, a land that will never cease to amaze and enthral the visitor with its heritage.
