Zhenjiang Tourism | 'Three Mountains and One Crossing' featuring Beigu Mountain
Beigu Mountain is acclaimed as 'the foremost river and mountain in the world', where Sun Quan once hosted a marriage event at the Ganlu Temple on Beigu Mountain that ended with 'losing his wife and his troops'; Xin Qiji ascended Beigu Mountain and left behind the eternal masterpiece 'Joy of Eternal Encounter · Remembering the Past at Beigu Pavilion in Jingkou'. Beigu Mountain is rich in historical relics and cultural landscapes, making it a must-visit destination for travelers to Zhenjiang.
Tour Route:
Phoenix Pool and Sword Testing Stone → Iron Pagoda → 'The Foremost River and Mountain in the World' Stone Carving → Ganlu Temple → Duo Jing Tower (also known as Beigu Tower) → Zhongshan Memorial Forest, Lu Su's Tomb, and Taishi Ci's Tomb
Main Attractions:
One temple, one tower, one pavilion, one stele, one stone carving. The temple is Ganlu Temple, which was built during the Ganlu era of the Eastern Wu dynasty, although it is quite small; the tower is the Weigong Pagoda, built during the Tang dynasty, one of the six remaining ancient iron pagodas in China, with exquisite carvings on its body; the pavilion is Beigu Pavilion, also known as the Sacrifice to the River Pavilion, where Xin Qiji left the famous line 'A son should be like Sun Zhongmou'; the stele is the Abe no Nakamaro Stele; the stone carving is 'The Foremost River and Mountain in the World' Stone Carving, inscribed by Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang dynasty, Xiao Yan, during his visit, now a Qing dynasty copy.
❤ Recommendation: You must climb up to Beigu Tower for a look. At the age of 66, Xin Qiji ascended the tower, and the heroic view of the great river flowing eastward inspired his eternal masterpiece 'Where to look for the divine land? The view from Beigu Tower fills the eyes'. From the tower, you can enjoy the endless beauty of the Yangtze River, with Yangzhou on one side and Zhenjiang on the other, a sight not to be missed.
