Generally considered the No. 1 historical monument in the Wu region, the hill has been the favourite place for poets, writers and painters in various times. The hill is moderate height but has large number of historical relics. The 1000- year- old leaning pagoda atop is looked upon as the landmark of Suzhou.
Ancient Panmen Gate
This corner of the ancient city is composed of three places of attraction: the only remaining land- and- water gates, the highest arched Wumen Bridge and the 1000-year-old Auspicious Light Pagoda. With the Grand Canal passing by the city wall, the scenic area features both a water country and the ancient style of the city. |
