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. |
