When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The tiger hill is a popular tourist attraction in Suzhou. The hill is not very high, and is easy to climb even for kids and older people. It does have a number of photo worthy spots for visit. Though we don’t feel particular impressed with the attraction. However, the site can be very crowded during Chinese holiday, which can ruin your travel experience.
We visit the attraction during the Chinese Spring Festival of 2024. The Suzhou government put in a number of tourist friendly policies, such as free public bus service throughout Suzhou, and half entrance fee at all Suzhou tourist site. This, combined with reasonable hotel rate at Suzhou, draws tourists from nearby metropolitan cities such as Shanghai.
We entered the Tiger Hill from the north, and walk to the south. This is against the traffic, which is from the south to the north. The attraction is very crowded. The paid shuttle service (expensive, and covers only very short distance) adds chaos to the traffic in the attraction as the shuttle competes with the guests for road surface. Our against flow route seems doing fine.
When we exit the south gate, it is difficult to call a taxi at the entrance, and there is a huge line to enter the Tiger Hill parking lot. Parking around Tiger Hill is crazy, so it is a better option to take a taxi. You are better served to walk a bit far away from the entrance area before you call the taxi.

Nice enough but it was my least favorite of the attractions; gardens and ancient towns. Be sure to visit the others first is my opinion.

After sweating one’s way through the crowds at Humble Administrator’s Garden (Zhuozheng Yuan), come to Tiger Hill to relax in relative seclusion amid trees and beautiful architecture. The pinnacle of course is Tiger Hill Tower (Huqiu Ta), a little like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, being over one thousand years old and with a characteristic tilt. My family loved climbing the stone steps in the cool shade, even in the city’s summer heat, and enjoyed ice creams and relaxation at the summit. It’s a beautiful and well-maintained place, beyond the reach of most crowds, which makes it a rare treat in Suzhou.

The Leaning Tower of China leans only 5% but it's thousands of years old and surrounded by fascinating history and geography, including a bamboo forest, a green river with gondaliers, and outdoor movie area with tea and snacks, and lots of spots for great pics. Take your camera and take a thousand photos. Cool on a hot day.

The huqiushan is a 15 minute drive from Suzhou railway Station. A very beautiful hill with a pagoda on top. There are options for an electric vehicle or horse carriage uphill for 20 RMB. Tip: buy the pagoda shaped ice-cream on the hilltop.

The Yunyuan Pagoda and the moss covered stones were the highlights at this park. We loved the look and the feel of the area too with everything so picturesque and old. Besides the pagoda there is a few nice ponds and a pretty large bonsai garden.

I would recommend bringing good shoes to this area as it was very slippery when we visited in early April. Plan to be here for an hour or two. Price to enter is 70 RMB during peak season April to October and 60 RMB for the rest of the year.

An excellent activity to spend a few hours on. Best to pre purchase tickets online. If driving to this attraction, there is a parking lot at the wedding "town"- a large collection of wedding shops - about 10 min walk from the main gates.

On a holiday afternoon there were no line ups. By China's standards, the venue wasn't crowded at all. The entire park is well preserved and clean. There is some signage in English, enough to give you an idea of what you are looking at. The most efficient way is to walk up the center to the pagoda from the south entrance and come down in the east side through the Great Buddha Hall, Crane Gully, a pot planted garden and a few other pavilions. Alternatively, can walk all the way through to the north gates, and if you drove and need to get back to the car at the south gate, just take a short boat ride on the canal surrounding the Hill.

Overall, spent a very pleasant afternoon there without feeling crowded, unlike the experience we had in some of the classical gardens earlier that day.

The tiger hill is 36 meters high and it's other name is Surging Sea Hill. The grounds are quite pretty and meander up to the Leaning Cloud Pagoda built over 1300 years ago. A iconic structure. You cannot go inside the pagoda but great viewing and picture opps.
