I have been to Suzhou four times and have also visited it in depth;

I heard of Huqiu when I first went to Suzhou, but I have never seen it;

This time, I made a special trip to see Tiger Hill, taste its unique charm, and feel the unique aura of Suzhou. I also stayed at a particularly satisfactory hotel and shared it with you.

This bay of clear water at the entrance of Huqiu is connected to Shantang Street. It can be said that Qilishantang water flows in in detail from here.

It is precisely this water flow that gives Tiger Hill, which was originally full of Suzhou flavor, more authentic Suzhou, and the more people look at it, the more they like it!


Tiger Hill is located in the northern suburbs of the west of Suzhou. It is the remnant of the West Mountain of Suzhou. Due to the surrounding terrain, it is separated from the main body of the West Mountain and becomes an independent hill.

It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, King Fu Chai of Wu buried his father Helu here. Three days after the burial, a white tiger sat on it, hence the name Tiger Hill. One said,"Qiu is like a squatting tiger, named after his form."

The mountain height is 34.3 meters high, ancient trees are towering, the mountains are many small scenery, and the Millennium Tiger Hill Pagoda stands on the top of the mountain. "Wu Di Ji" records:"The Tiger Hill is surrounded by rocks and vertical ravines, and the lush forests and deep yellow forests are the surface of the hills and ravines on the left of the river. "Xiang has the reputation of" the No. 1 Scenic Spot in Wuzhong."

Su Dongpo, a great literary hero of the Song Dynasty, said: "It is a pity not to visit Tiger Hill when I go to Suzhou." The ancient saying has made Tiger Hill a must-visit place for tourists to Suzhou. Tiger Hill has naturally become a symbol of the famous historical and cultural city of Suzhou.


Although Tiger Hill covers an area of only more than 300 acres and is only more than 30 meters high, it has the style of "the surface of the hills and valleys on the left of the river". It is surrounded by rocks and valleys, has thousands of scenery, and has the best of three unique, nine suitable and eighteen scenic spots.

The cultural history of Huqiu can be traced back to more than 2500 years ago and is as long as the ancient city of Suzhou. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, this was the location of King Helu of Wu.

It is said that after three days of burial, the gold essence transformed into a white tiger and squatted on it, hence the name Tiger Hill." Zhu Changwen, a professor of Suzhou Prefecture Studies in the Song Dynasty, believed that the tiger mound was named because it looked like a squatting tiger, and said: "However, looking at the shape of its rocks and valleys, it is due to nature, and it is suspected that there was a hill first, and Helu was buried because of it.

Wherever there is water, there is spirituality, as is Tiger Hill; this is even more true for the water in Suzhou.

Between the mountains and rivers, there is a courtyard in it, and I am often immersed in the deep courtyard. First, I am fascinated by the supreme tranquility there. In this peaceful atmosphere, you can carefully think about your own actions and taste every thing in life. Surprise or surprise.

Second, I was moved by the delicious green and rich cultivation there!


It's like seeing history here.

For thousands of years, literati of all dynasties have participated in the renovation and cultural activities of Tiger Hill. For example, Gu Kaizhi in the Jin Dynasty, King Gu Ye in the Six Dynasties, Yan Zhenqing, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Wei Yingwu, Liu Yuxi, Lu Guimeng, and Pi Rixiu in the Tang Dynasty, Su Shi, Mi Fu, and Shaolong in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Mengfu and Ni Zan in the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Ao, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Tang Yin, Zhang Dai, and Yuan Hongdao in the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Weiye, Zhu Yizun, Hong Jun, and Lu Runxiang in the Qing Dynasty.

Brothers Wang Xun and Wang Min built a new industry in Huqiu and turned their houses into a temple, making Huqiu the soil of the literati culture in the south of the Yangtze River. In the Tang Dynasty, Wei Yingwu, Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi, three great poets who were former governors of Suzhou, all had a special liking for Huqiu and left poems. In order to facilitate people's travel to and from Huqiu, Bai Juyi organized the excavation of Shantang River.

In Suzhou's local operas and plays (tunes) such as Tanci "Three Laughs" and "Jade Dragonfly", Tiger Hill has repeatedly been used as a stage for character activities. The first meeting between the heroes and heroines in the famous work "Deep in the Alley" by the great contemporary writer Lu Wenfu also arranged for the first time on Huqiu Mountain. Zhou Shoujuan, a master gardener, also wrote a travel essay "Visiting the Ancient Huqiu Mountain".

However, there is not only the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the East, splendid history and culture, but also warm life scenes everywhere, just like the communication between mother and daughter, which is intoxicating...


Think about the prosperity of Suzhou and the charm of Tiger Hill, which can be said to complement each other. Tiger Hill also has a microcosm of Suzhou, making people linger in it.

This place is worth tasting carefully!

I don't know if it is because I have traveled too much and I am numb to the many scenery, or because some scenery itself is not very attractive to me. Regarding the journey and the destination on the journey, there are not many things that I can remember today, and there are not many places that can warm me!

During this trip in Suzhou, I stayed at a very satisfactory hotel-Feiman Hotel (Suzhou University Pingjiang Road Branch). The experience was very good and it can be said that it warmed me.

During the journey, the quality of accommodation often determines the quality of the entire journey. This time, I am traveling and enjoying it with high quality. Everything comes from this Feiman hotel.

This is a hotel built by people with responsibility, passion and vitality, and stories. It is precisely because of the warmth of love that she has been able to grow and have this excellent experience with the vitality.

Everything in the hotel makes people feel very warm, and this warmth makes people moving. I was moved by the delicious elegance and rich cultivation here. Each setting here uses its own space to understand the connotation of beauty. The pulse "petals" of the source of elegance are like fire and sunset, as yellow as apricots and as condensed fat.

The high-quality and differentiated check-in experience makes me willing to "waste" my time in this simple yet exquisite room full of quality. Outside the guest rooms, there is also a full life.


The catering at this Feiman hotel is also remarkable. There are many varieties and delicious. The service staff are also very enthusiastic. Everything is so warm and satisfying.

Indulge in the slow hours of this hotel, maybe this is where your story begins, and more stories are waiting for you to continue...

Lying in bed and watching a movie and television drama, you will see the world's various aspects; standing in front of the window and watching the sunset light outside the window, you will see the warmth and warmth of the world. Here, there is temperature and life. May you also have a dream!
