Tiger Hill Pagoda

The Tiger Hill Pagoda or Huqiu Pagoda (Chinese: 虎丘塔; pinyin: Hǔqiū tǎ; Suzhou Wu: Hou chieu thaeh, Wu Chinese pronunciation: [hou tɕʰʏ tʰɑʔ]), officially the Yunyan Pagoda[1] (Chinese: 云岩寺塔; pinyin: Yúnyán sì tǎ; Suzhou Wu: Yuin nge zy thaeh, Wu Chinese pronunciation: [ɦʏn ŋe̞ zz̩ tʰɑʔ]), is a Chinese pagoda situated on Tiger Hill (Huqiu) in Suzhou city, Jiangsu Province of Eastern China.

Some elements of the temple such as the formal entrance, the Yunyan Pagoda, and several other buildings and smaller shrines have survived, and now stand as landmarks throughout Tiger Hill Park.

The entire structure weighs some 7,000,000 kilograms (15,000,000 lb), supported by internal brick columns.

The container had an inscription noting the completion date of the pagoda as the seventeenth day of the twelfth month of the second year of the Jianlong era (961 CE).

The Yunyan Pagoda is a designated Major National Historical and Cultural Site in Jiangsu.
