A song can inspire a trip to a city~Zhenjiang Nanshan Mountain Wen Yuan Scenic Area

"Zhenjiang Ballad" is the winning entry of Zhenjiang's theme song competition. The lyrics mention Liu Xie's *Wenxin Diaolong* and Xiao Tong's *Wen Xuan*, which are the most culturally significant historical imprints of Wen Yuan Scenic Area in Zhenjiang Nanshan Mountain Scenic Area. "Liu Xie carved dragons in Wen Yuan, Xiao Tong selected poems and compiled magnificent chapters. Mi Fu rests peacefully on Nanshan Mountain, Shen Kuo's *Dream Pool Essays* in Mengxi Garden." 🌟Scenic Spot Features: Wen Yuan Scenic Area, nestled between mountains and waters, is a theme park commemorating the famous Southern Dynasty literary critic Liu Xie and his literary masterpiece *Wenxin Diaolong*. The scenic area features main attractions such as Wenxin Pavilion, Zhiyin Pavilion, Xuelin Xuan, and Bo Xian's Tomb. It also boasts the "Three Treasures of Wen Yuan": the Billion-Year-Old Qiankun Stone, the Thousand-Year-Old Crape Myrtle, and the Century-Old Peony. It is also an important peony viewing spot in Zhenjiang. While it's not yet peony season, it's the perfect time to enjoy the plum blossoms. ❤Recommendations: 1⃣️ At the entrance, a Taihu stone called the Billion-Year-Old Qiankun Stone stands tall. The stone is 5.5 m wide, 4.6 m high, 2.8 m thick, and weighs 68 tons. It is a naturally formed landscape stone, uncarved, with a vivid appearance. It stands as an independent scenic spot. Upon closer inspection, you can see lifelike images of a celestial turtle gazing into the distance, a divine ox bowing its head, and a dragon exploring the sea. The whole stone resembles a huge openwork stone screen, a marvelous natural creation, lifelike and exquisite. 2⃣️ Even more impressive is the plum grove beside the Qiankun Stone. The branches are lush, the colors vibrant, and the fragrance captivating. 3⃣️ Further in, the Wenxin Pavilion is a two-story Xieshan-style building in the Qing Dynasty style, built to commemorate Liu Xie, the famous literary critic of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and his literary masterpiece *Wenxin Diaolong*. Inside the pavilion, several versions of *Wenxin Diaolong* researched by scholars from home and abroad are displayed. 4⃣️ After passing through Wenxin Pavilion, you'll find my favorite area. Diaolong Pond and Zhiyin Pavilion complement each other and the Wenxin Pavilion. The four plaques on Zhiyin Pavilion are written in regular, cursive, official, and seal scripts, respectively. Famous lines from *Wenxin Diaolong* are engraved on the white marble inside the pavilion. The plum blossoms in full bloom by the pond, together with Zhiyin Pavilion in the lake, create an elegant and charming scene. 5⃣️ Walking along the lake and passing a waterside pavilion, you'll encounter another pond full of plum blossoms in full bloom, a truly magnificent sight. The scene is further enhanced by the ancient-style architecture of Xuelin Xuan, creating a profound artistic conception.
