In the heart of the ancient city of Suzhou, there is a sacred place that countless travelers yearn for—Tiger Hill. It is not just a mountain, but also a thick history book, with every brick and tile engraved with stories of a thousand years, waiting for you and me to gently open its cover and step into a journey through time and space. Attraction Introduction: A Symphony of History and Nature Tiger Hill, formerly known as 'Haiyong Mountain,' is renowned as the 'Number One Scenic Spot in Wu Middle' and is not just a beautiful hill, but also a treasure of ancient Chinese culture. The Tiger Hill Pagoda at the summit, leaning but not falling, has withstood a thousand years of wind and frost and is known as the 'Leaning Tower of Pisa of the East,' an absolute protagonist in every visitor's camera. The seclusion of the Sword Pool, the legend of the Sword Testing Stone, and the coolness of the Hanhan Spring, each place is a wonderful story of nature and culture intertwined, making one linger and forget to return. Itinerary: A One-Day Journey Through a Thousand Years - **Morning**: It is recommended to set out in the early morning, with the first thing greeting you being the simplicity and solemnity of the Tiger Hill gate.
