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.
