Tiger Hill is an artificial hill and the burial place of He Lu。
Regarded as the founder of Suzhou (in the 6th century BC ) he is
believed to be protected by a white tiger which came to visit the
grave。
Tiger Hill is famous for its scenery and popular with
tourists。 The brick leaning Cloud Rock Pagoda (built in the 10th
century AD) stands on the Hill。
Other temples on the hill are
composed with the Sword Pool and the Thousand Men Stone。
Entitled as "the most famous place in Wuzhong", Tiger Hill, also
named "Surging Sea Hill", "Surging Sea Peak", is located at the
northwest suburbs of Suzhou city, 3。
5 kilometers from the Chang
Gate。
Tiger Hill is 36 meters high, 630 meter in perimeter with a total
area of 20 hectare (200,000 sqm)。
Formed about 150,000,000 years
ago, Tiger Hill's history can be traced back to 2500 years ago, the
same time with the ancient Suzhou city。
It is recorded that it was
the very place of the tomb of Wu King Helu in the Spring and Autumn
Period (770 B。
C-476 B。C)。 In 496 B。C。, Wu King Helu died in the war
between Wu Kingdom and Yue Kingdom, his son then buried him under
the Tiger Hill with his excellent sword。
According to Records or the Historian, three days after the burial
of Wu King Helu, people found a white tiger was squatting on the
tomb, hence the name Tiger Hill。
During the Eastern Jin dynasty, with a temple built on the hill,
Tiger Hill changed into a Buddhism hill from the tomb of the kings。
In successive dynasties, more and more architectures were added here
and with the change of the dynasties, Tiger Hill experienced the
rise and the fall endlessly during 2400 years, which leaves us
numerous relics of legacy of history。
The ancient carving, the
horizontal inscribed boards, the couplets, the poems of the
celebrities, the various scenes, the paintings and the handwritings,
the proses, so forth and so on, the whole reaches a seldom seen
amount, that could be hardly found around the world。
Su Dongpo, literary master of the Song dynasty once remarked, "It's
a thing for regret to visit Suzhou without seeing the Tiger Hill"。
So popular is the saying that the Hill becomes a must on the
itinerary of every visitor to Suzhou。
Broken Beam Hall: popularly know as "the Second Entrance Gate", was
first built in the Tang dynasty and rebuilt in 1338 during the Yuan
dynasty (1338。
A。D)。 Its principal beam consists of two pieces of

Legend goes that it was cracked by Helu, who tested all his
swords on the stone。 According to legend, the king was buried with
