Tiger Hill

Walking in the garden at Tiger Hill.

Tiger Hill pagoda through the trees.


Well, the pictures just really don't do this garden justice! It is quite large, and very wooded. I loved walking through the large trees here, probably because it's something we don't see a lot of in downtown Shanghai.
The pagoda, which was completed in 961, and just added to the registry of historic buildings in 1961, is noticibly leaning to one side. It is on top of the hill, the high point of the garden.

This garden had various waterfalls and wonderful, interesting rock formations. The girls loved climbing about in precarious places! Here they are with Scott down by a little waterfall.
