Where is Suzhou Tianping Mountain Scenic Area located?

Tianping Mountain Scenic Area is located in the southwest of Suzhou ancient city, adjacent to 36,000 hectares of Taihu Lake, and is a bright pearl in the national Taihu Lake Scenic Area. As early as the Tang Dynasty, it was a tourist attraction in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was known as "the scenic spot in the south of the Yangtze River". Tianping Mountain is 20 1 m above sea level, and the scenic spot covers an area of nearly 100 hectares. Because the top of the mountain is flat, the mountain is high in the sky, and there are often white clouds around it, so it was called "Baiyun Mountain" in ancient times. In the fourth year of the Song Dynasty (1044), Fan Zhongyan's ancestors were buried here, giving the mountain, also known as "giving the mountain", commonly known as "Fan Fenshan". Tianping Mountain Scenic Area integrates classical gardens and natural scenery, and integrates cultural relics and historical sites with wild interests in mountains and forests. In the second year of the Tang Dynasty (AD 826), the monk Yong 'an built a "Baiyun Temple" (now "Baiyun Ancient Temple") at the southern foot. Since then, the number of buildings has been increasing, including "Zhonglie Temple, Tian Ping Villa, Lotte Building, Imperial Monument Pavilion, Yunquan Jingshe" and so on. Tianping Mountain is known as "red maple, clear spring and strange stone". The ancient maple forest at the foot of the mountain is in the Mid-Autumn Festival. After more than 400 years, the ancient maple forest is magnificent, with the grand occasion of "red maple is the best in the world"; The spring water on the mountainside is full and does not dry up all year round. Clear, transparent and mellow. Lu Yu of Cha Sheng in the Tang Dynasty once praised this clear spring as "the first water in Wuzhong". The mountain is rugged and dangerous, just like the "water board" used by ministers to greet the emperor in feudal times, which is layered on top of each other and commonly known as "ten thousand days in the sky"; In addition, there are scenic spots such as "Longmen Yixiantian, Feilaishi, Biaobifeng, Bijiafeng, Lianhua Cave and Wanghutai". .
