Tiger Hill Temple in Suzhou China Tiger Hill Temple
15. Scenes at Tiger Hill

According to the Historical Records, the Wu King Helu was buried on the hill, called then "the Hill Emerging from the Sea". The legend goes that three days after his burial a white tiger appeared squatting on the hill, hence the name. In spite of the face that it has an elevation of over 30 m. and covers about 49.41ac., the Tiger Hill boasts impressive rocks, deep dales, 3 matchless scenes, 9 suitable occasions for enjoyment, 18 scenic spots, and changing scenery at all times. No wonder it has been an awe-inspiring sight in the area south of the Lower Yangtze.
