MAKE A DAY OF IT
A few stops. A good day out.
Tiger Hill and a garden, without rushing.
A day with substantial walking. Choose just one stop if the weather or your energy suggests it; substitute the museum for the garden rather than adding it on.
- 1Start with the hill and pagoda
Tiger Hill
Explore Tiger Hill, allowing for slopes, breaks and the return to the metro.
See this stop ↑↓ Take Line 6 towards Sangtiandao to Humble Administrator’s Garden–Suzhou Museum.
- 2Spend the later part in the garden
Humble Administrator's Garden
Enjoy the garden within your confirmed entry arrangements; do not force the museum into the same day.
See this stop ↑
These editorial time estimates include walking, breaks and casual sightseeing, but not a full exhibition visit, long queues or extended shopping.
BEFORE YOU GO
A little planning goes a long way.
Check admission before setting your order
Gardens, museums and events have their own opening, booking and ticket arrangements. Times here are editorial visit estimates, not opening hours or train times; you need not cover every highlight in a day.
