Alas, this magnificent tusk carving was no longer in the museum when I last visited. This and the other photos here of the carving are not mine.
This, believe it or not, is a pillow. Don’t ask me; I’m just the messenger.

- Eric T. MacKnight { Hi Judy! So glad that you have enjoyed "My Suzhou." I have been to Tiger Hill several times, and enjoyed it. When I sat down to put together "My Suzhou," however, I decided to leave it out. First, it is (along with the Humble Administrator's Garden) one of the best-known and most-visited places in Suzhou, and I wanted to focus on places (where possible) that were perhaps a bit less known, or less commonly visited by people coming to Suzhou for a brief stay, or living there as expats.

BTW, Loc, you don't need to go to China for many of the joys of a Suzhou holiday—just go to Portland and visit the LanSu Garden. Great teahouse, too! }

- Julia Common { Really lovely, Eric. You certainly brought me to the heart of Suzhou. Miss it. Best of luck, Julia }
