Another name for this
famous hill, which
stands in a west suburb
of Wuxi, is Nine Dragons
(Jiulongshan) as its
nine hilltops look like
dancing dragons.
According to a fairy
tale, nine sons of the
Dragon King fell asleep
after playing ball and
turned into the nine
peaks of Huishan. There
are a dozen famous
springs on the hill,
including the “second
spring under heaven” and
Dragon’s Eye Spring (Longyanquan).
Places of interest at
the east foot of the
hill are pleasure Garden
(Jichangyuan), Chunshen
Gully, Huishan Temple,
and Gold Totus Bridge (Jinlianqiao).
In 1958 the hill was
linked by a man-made
lake with Tin Hill (Xishan)
to become Xihui Park.
