Tiger Hill or Huqiu (Chinese: 虎丘; pinyin: Hǔ Qiū; Suzhou Wu: Hou chieu, Wu Chinese pronunciation: [hou tɕʰʏ]) is a hill in Suzhou, China. It is a tourist destination that is known for its natural environment and historic sites. The hill's name is said to come from the fact it looks like a crouching tiger. Another legend states that a white tiger appeared on the hill to guard it following the burial of King Helü. The hill is also sometimes referred to in parallel with Shizishan (Chinese: 狮子山; pinyin: Shīzǐshān), another mountain in Suzhou which resembles a sitting lion.[1]
