More than 2,500 years ago the king of Wu, He Lu, died in a battle fighting the Yue. His son buried him on the hill. The story goes that three days after he was buried a white tiger came and lay on his grave, thus the name. Before he died, He Lu developed a sword fetish, and thousands of his swords were also buried somewhere on the mountain, but nobody has ever found them. The king’s son, being one of the biggest assholes on the face of the earth at the time, also killed and buried more than a thousand workers who constructed the expansive tomb.
The hill is now home to the largest pagoda in Suzhou, the center of which leans more than a meter to the west of where it originally stood. This means, of course, that you can’t climb it. You can also find several villas, countless bonsai trees, sheer cliffs and a lot more that we just don’t have the space to mention.
