The city abounds with fine scenery and historical interest. The popular haunt of HanShan(cold mountain) Temple, with its charming bell, has inspired many poetic mind. On Tiger Hill, a thousand-year-old pagoda stands in majesty; and while luxuriant fruit-trees add to the natural beauty of East Dongting Hills and the lake around, Tianping Hill is featured by grotesque rock formations and red maple woods. The unique style of widely reputed SuZhou gardens is seen in Gentle Waves Pavilion, Lion Grove Garden, Lingering Garden. Their towers, gazeboes, terraces, winding corridors and water-side pavilions are so artistically laid out among ponds, rockeries trees and grottoes that visitors are impressed by depth they create, and find a different vista at every turn. All this makes a visit most enjoyable.
