An important landmark of national significance is located in the Suzhou region of China. This is Tiger Hill. The height of this hill is about 36 meters. It resembles a huge tiger that is preparing to jump, with its outline. The hill was a favorite vacation spot of the Imperial dynasty more than a thousand years ago. Magnificent gardens were laid out here. Palaces and pagodas were also built on the hill. Ordinary people were strictly forbidden to enter this territory. According to one of the legends, the tomb of Emperor Helü is located on the territory of the hill. But researchers have not been able to find it.
The hill is covered with mystical stories. It is available for everyone to visit today. A luxury park is located at the top of it. There are also many buildings from different eras here.
