Gallery LabelTiger Hill, pictured here, is one of the famous sights in a region called Wu, the birthplace of artist Shen Zhou. Shen famously popularized topographic paintings that praised local sights. His followers, one of whom copied this lengthy scroll after Shen's original, faithfully rendered the regional landmarks, as exemplified in the pagoda on top of the Hill.
