When it comes to the best places to take photos in Suzhou during autumn, Tiger Hill is definitely on the list! If you're visiting Suzhou this season, make sure to include Tiger Hill in your itinerary~
📍Tiger Hill Scenic Area
Address: No. 8, Inside the Gate of Tiger Hill, Gusu District, Suzhou
Ticket: 70 RMB
Best time to shoot: Mid to late October through early November (when autumn is at its peak)
🌿Highly recommended photo spots:
1. Yunyan Temple Pagoda (Tiger Hill Pagoda): A symbolic building of Suzhou, especially photogenic with ginkgo and red leaves as a backdrop
2. Wangshan Bridge: Perfect for capturing the pagoda’s reflection in the water
3. Jianchi Pool: The red maples in autumn complement the ancient stone steps beautifully
4. Qianren Stone: Standing on the stone platform offers an overhead view of the entire autumn scenery in the park
5. Stone Carving Garden: Antique-style architecture paired with golden fallen leaves on the ground
📸Photo tips:
- Arrive right at opening time, 7:30 AM, for fewer crowds and softer light
- Wear light-colored clothes to match the autumn colors better
- Bring a white oil-paper umbrella to instantly enhance the traditional vibe
- Don’t miss the sunset time between 4:30-5:00 PM
🍁Travel advice:
2-3 hours is enough to cover the main spots. It’s recommended to enter from the south gate and exit from the north gate, as this route has the most photo spots. If you have good stamina, you can also climb to the Yuta Pavilion at the top of the hill for a panoramic view of the city’s autumn colors.
