There are 51 smaller alleys intersecting the street. There are also about 3 kilometers of canals within the historic district.

In 2009, Pingjiang Road was listed as a Zhongguo Lishi Wenhua Mingjie, one of the first nine streets with such title across China. Along with Shantang Street.
Tiger Hill

30 min

The Tiger Hill is known for its natural environment and historical sites. The hill is so named because it is said to look like a crouching tiger. Another legend states that a white tiger appeared on the hill to guard it. The hill has been a tourist destination for hundreds, if not thousands of years, as it´s evident from the poetry and calligraphy carved into rocks on the hill. The Song Dynasty poet, Su Shi said, "It is a lifelong pity if having visited Suzhou you did not visit Tiger Hill."
