Wu Hill

A fabulous 94-meter high evergreen hill that stretches into the city area and has a seven-floor high tower, Chenghuang - this is Wu Hill. From the hill you have the most splendid panoramic view over the city as well as over the lake. The tower has a wax museum containing 28 figures of historical importance. The hill is covered with gingko and camphor trees that always are green. Some of the camphor trees are really ancient - about 400-500 years old, the oldest is nearly 800 years of age. One of the reasons Wu Hill is so popular is because everyone up there have such enormous pleasure watching flowers and trees blossom there and follow how the scenery changes during the different seasons of the year.
