Tiger Hill, Chinese garden and temple complex in Suzhou, China

The 19-hectare Tiger Hill features ancient temples, stone carvings, pagodas, and traditional gardens situated along winding pathways across elevated terrain.

The site dates back to 495 BCE when King Helu of the Wu State was buried there, with legends telling of a white tiger appearing to guard his tomb.

The Yunyan Temple Pagoda represents classical Chinese architecture with its seven-story octagonal structure incorporating Buddhist design elements from the Song Dynasty period.

The garden complex opens daily from 7:30 to 17:30, with access provided by local buses 32, 146, 816, and 949 stopping at Huqiu Station.

The Yunyan Pagoda leans more than 2 meters from its vertical axis, predating the construction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa by several hundred years.
