The place where Emperor Qianlong visited six times during his six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, and also the birthplace of The Art of War, what is this place?

If you talk about the secluded places in Suzhou, Qionglong Mountain is undoubtedly the first choice. This mountain with an altitude of 341.8 meters is not only a natural oxygen bar but also a witness to history. The first recommendation is to enter the scenic area from the north gate, where the imperial road was the ancient road where Emperor Qianlong ascended six times. Stepping on the stone steps, there are dense bamboo forests on both sides, and the bamboo is sturdy, like a person's thigh. Every step seems to travel through history, walking with the emperor of that year. When you reach the top of the mountain, the Wanghu Pavilion overlooks the beautiful scenery of Suzhou, which is extremely shocking. However, please note that due to seasonal reasons, the mountain color may still be heavy. The south gate is suitable for family outings. In the Sun Wu Culture Park, there is both the quiet beauty of the Holy Lake and the joy of the children's playground. Camping here in spring is also a different experience. The south gate route is relatively flat and more friendly to the elderly and children. In terms of parking, whether it is the south gate or the north gate, stop as long as there is a space. The fee is 6 yuan/hour. Qionglong Mountain is not only a natural treasure, but also a historical mark. Coming here is like walking into a long scroll of landscape, you can feel the charm of nature and appreciate the elegance of the ancients.

Qionglong Mountain

When Qianlong traveled south, he was a big fan of Qionglong Mountain. This is also where "Art of War" was born. This place is nicknamed "Intellect Mountain." From here, you can see landmarks such as Lakeview Park and Shangzhen Taoist Abbey. There are also buses for individual tourist spots in the scenic area. In front of the fence is a small spring that flows between the hills. In the summer, wash your hands in this stream to feel instantly refreshed.
