Zhenjiang has a history of over 3,000 years and is the birthplace of Wu culture. It is famous for its "Three Mountains and One Ferry", which refers to Jiaoshan, Jinshan, Beigu Mountain, and Xijin Ferry. The three mountains are collectively known as the "Three Mountains Scenic Area". Visitors who enjoy hiking can take in the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, and the "urban forest" landscape is also worth seeing. Jinshan has many attractions, including the famous Jinshan Temple, the site of the "Flooding of Jinshan Temple" in the Legend of the White Snake, Fahai Cave, Guanyin Pavilion, and Ancient Immortal Cave.

The temples are hidden among ancient cypress and pine trees, forming a unique "mountain temple" landscape. There are two entrances: the south gate and the east gate. Most people take a 5-minute ferry ride from the south gate, while the east gate is accessible by land.

This time visiting Zhenjiang, Jiaoshan left a deep impression on me❗️ Among the three mountains and one ferry, Jiaoshan is the least famous, but it is my favorite😘. Jiaoshan is one of the famous 'Three Mountains of Jingkou,' known for its natural scenery and ancient, serene beauty, covering an area of about 1500 acres. Bupo Pavilion, Dongling Spring, Dinghui Temple, Guanlan Pavilion, Cliff Inscriptions, Ancient Fort. Jiaoshan is renowned both domestically and internationally because it stands tall in the middle of the river, known as the 'Pillar of the Midstream' and the 'Stone of Zhenjiang,' exuding a majestic aura. The mountain temple is faintly visible, the forest is lush, and the environment is beautiful, like a fairy island floating on the water. Take a ferry to the island and tour counterclockwise🔄. The ancient fort, an important historical defense on the Yangtze River, is very sturdy. Jiaoshan is not high, offering a bird's-eye view of the Yangtze River scenery. At the top is the Wanfo Pagoda, and at the foot are the cliff inscriptions. The ticket🎟️ price is affordable, and the ferry🆓 runs every half hour. The parking lot at the entrance costs only 4 yuan. Also, be sure to check out the nearby food spot📍 Yong'an Fish Restaurant·Zhenjiang Cuisine (Taohuawu Road Branch), the environment is impeccable, and you must try Zhenjiang cuisine, starting taxi fare🚖.

📍With a single phrase 'spring is not late', I have arrived at Xijindu. Xijindu is located in Zhenjiang, which is considered an off-the-beaten-path city for tourism✳️ In fact, Zhenjiang has some attractions▶️ like the Zhenjiang Museum, Jingshan, Vinegar Culture Museum, Jiaoshan, but the most worthwhile place to visit is still Xijindu👍 Most people who travel to Zhenjiang from other places are mainly attracted by Xijindu👏 ✅The pace of life in Zhenjiang is very slow, riding a shared bike around the streets of Zhenjiang is quite leisurely♨️ It feels like the whole world has quieted down, as if returning to childhood😄 ✅I went to Xijindu in the afternoon, and there was a feeling of stepping into a realm, a glance through a thousand years🌅 Walking on the street, there is no need to deliberately look for photo spots, every place can become your spot🤙 ✅As for food, Zhenjiang's most characteristic dish is the pot cover noodles, which is worth a try when visiting, I think it's okay~ (Don't go to Zhenjiang just for the food.) ▶️DAY1 Zhenjiang Museum —— Jingshan Temple —— Jingshan Lake —— Xijindu ▶️DAY2 Yong'an Road Market —— Jiaoshan Scenic Area —— Next Stop Lastly, I hope everyone has a pleasant journey~

Jiangsu Zhenjiang Jiaoshan, a natural blend of mountains and rivers, simple and elegant. Slowly appreciate it, and you'll be reluctant to leave!

Compared to the bustling Yangzhou in the fireworks-laden March, the small town of Zhenjiang across the river has its unique "flavor". A historic street, traces of a thousand years, this is the "Manyan Fengguang Beigu Tower" where Xin Qiji climbed high and reminisced about the past, and the "Spring River is again green on the south bank of the river" where Wang Anshi felt homesick and restless day and night. This small town has inadvertently left behind many historical and cultural relics. 📍 Travel Guide: 1⃣: Jinshan Temple - Beigu Mountain - Jiaoshan - Xijin Ferry 2⃣: Nanshan 💖 Touring Tips: Check out Zhenjiang's famous "Three Mountains and One Ferry" Jinshan, Beigu Mountain, Jiaoshan 🚩 Jinshan The main attraction is Jinshan Temple, the filming location of 'The Legend of White Snake', with many classic scenes from TV dramas. Climbing along the trail to the top, you can overlook the entire Jinshan Temple. 🚩 Beigu Mountain Ganlu Temple on Beigu Mountain is the same Ganlu Temple where Liu Bei sought a marriage alliance, and the Ganlu Temple dock is an excellent spot to watch the sunset. 🚩 Jiaoshan It is also the only island in the Yangtze River surrounded by water on all sides, offering tourists a view. Climbing it is more difficult compared to Beigu Mountain.

True mountains and waters "anchor" the south of the Yangtze River A low-key and niche city—Zhenjiang In the mountains and temples of Zhenjiang, what is well-known Without a doubt, are Jinshan and Jinshan Temple Fahai, Bai Niangzi, and the flooding of Jinshan, stories that have been passed down to this day But compared to Jinshan, I recommend ——— Jiaoshan ▪️ Jiaoshan Formerly known as "Qiaoshan" "Qiaoshan", now renamed "Jiaoshan" Named after Jiao Guang of the Eastern Han Dynasty who lived in seclusion here... Jiaoshan is an island surrounded by water on all sides in the Yangtze River Therefore, it also has the reputation of "Floating Jade" in the river ▪️ Jiaoshan Rich in nature, with fewer tourists But the things to see and play are not few ✔️ Dinghui Temple, one of the earliest temples in the south of the Yangtze River ✔️ Stele Forest, hiding more than 400 pieces of inscriptions from different dynasties ✔️ Cliff carvings, inscriptions by famous people from various dynasties over thousands of years ✔️ Wanfo Pagoda, located at the summit of Jiaoshan ... There are also ancient gun emplacements, Osmanthus Garden, and you can also take a boat... I really like the natural ecology here Many trees are full of tree vigor🌳 And the lawns are suitable for setting up canopies and tents🏕️ No wonder the people of Zhenjiang are tight-lipped and don't promote Jiaoshan Worried that their own backyard garden will become crowded, right? 📍 Jiaoshan, Zhenjiang 🕗 8:00-17:30 (Entry stops at 16:30) ⌚️ Suggested visiting time 2-4 hours 🎫 Ticket price ￥60/adult ⛰️ Ways to enter the park 1️⃣ From the south gate, take a boat into the park 2️⃣ From the east gate, cross the bridge into the park

Today, I arrived at the famous city of Zhenjiang, which is well-known for its three mountains. So, I took a taxi to the renowned Jiaoshan Scenic Area. To visit the island across the river, one must take a ferry. It's quite nice; the scenery is very beautiful. After strolling around, I realized that it had been over an hour, haha😆

A travel blogger wrote it well: Jinshan has a myth, Beigushan has a history, and Jiaoshan has a culture. Take the bus to the Jiaoshan Scenic Area station, and right off the bus is the south gate of Jiaoshan, where the ferry docks. The area is not large, akin to a small park, and a stroll for 2-3 hours is quite fitting. Passing through the mountain gate, the incense at Dinghui Temple wafts gently. Beyond the cliff carvings, robust and tender, they subtly grace the cliffs weathered by time. Ascending the steps, the grandeur of the pavilion is obscured by the surrounding dense forests and bamboo, and the once open view is no longer visible. The Wanfo Pagoda is temporarily closed for maintenance, but as a landmark, it remains a popular subject for photographers. After passing the Xijiang Tower, circling back to Biefeng An, and descending the steps, a small path leads along the river behind the mountain, directly back to the cliff carvings, and then via the Jiangshan wooden walkway back to the ferry dock. It is sunset, and the journey is exceptionally beautiful. Jiaoshan, surrounded by water on all sides, floats in the river, likened by the ancients to a floating jade. I think it is perhaps a small piece of jasper, petite in form but broad in spirit. With an elevation of just over 70 meters and a modest size, it is indeed a small piece of jasper. With a broad view, looking towards Zhenjiang, towards the Yangtze River, watching the sunset glow in unison, the heart feels as wide as the heavens and the earth.

☔ Longing for the misty Jiangnan ☔ The childhood yearning for martial arts novels is inseparable from the longing for the misty Jiangnan. I am fortunate to come to Zhenjiang in the rain this time. In the morning, when I push open the window, fine rain threads fall from the sky, this is the misty Jiangnan in my heart! 🌿 Exploring Jiaoshan 🌿 I took a taxi to Jiaoshan in the morning, where all my fantasies about the south are located. Pavilions and towers with black tiles and green bricks are hidden in the deep mountains, along with ancient temples and the Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Strolling in Jiaoshan, the sound of birds is melodious, the rain sings like a song, and people with umbrellas pass by leisurely, everything is so comfortable. 🌸 The tranquility of Dinghui Temple 🌸 Coming to Dinghui Temple in Jiaoshan, I quietly listen to the sound of the rain falling, feeling the tranquility of the soul in the ancient pavilions. Groups of visitors, their laughter sounds particularly crisp in the rain, this kind of comfort is indescribable. ✨ The treasure beauty of Zhenjiang ✨ Although Zhenjiang does not have the fame of Yangzhou across the river, it is precisely because of this that one can truly enjoy this wonderful journey. This treasure city, like a pearl in the misty rain, quietly exudes its charming allure. 🌈 Tips 🌈 Jiaoshan in the rain is even more mysterious, remember to bring an umbrella and suitable clothing for rainy weather. Quietly experience Dinghui Temple and feel the unique beauty of Jiangnan. In the streets and alleys of Zhenjiang, taste the local cuisine and experience the authentic taste of Jiangnan. This rainy trip to Zhenjiang is like a dreamy Jiangnan experience. Whether it's the tranquility of Jiaoshan or the unique charm of Zhenjiang, it's all fascinating.

My first visit to Zhenjiang was a tightly scheduled 3-day trip. ✅'Three Mountains and One Ferry' (Jinshan, Jiaoshan, Beigushan, Xijindu), to enjoy the poetic scenery and pursue legends. ✅Zhenjiang Museum, spanning 3000 years of history, allows you to feel the atmosphere of a national historical and cultural city. ✅In the autumn streets, the fragrance of osmanthus is everywhere; in the quiet morning markets, a delicate mist lingers. ✅A big bowl of steaming pot cover noodles is a must-try delicacy, suitable for both meat-eaters and vegetarians, and enjoyed by all ages. (The popular 'Dahua Noodle House' is very down-to-earth) ✅The city is not large, there are not many buses and the intervals are long, so taking a taxi is more convenient for longer distances, while sharing a bike or walking is suitable for shorter distances.

Jiaoshan, a small island outside Zhenjiang city. To get to Jiaoshan, you need to take a few minutes ferry. Today, there is a little rain from time to time, and the wind is also a bit big. The clear sky is certainly a plus, but Jiaoshan in the wind and rain adds a bit more spirit and haze. Unlike the hot summer, today is a bit cold, plus the wind and rain, and it is not the tourist season, there are not many tourists in the whole Jiaoshan. No matter how the scenery is, a scenic spot without people has won 90%, let alone, the beauty here is beyond doubt. Quiet temples, shocking steles, rich plants, pick up the steps, come to the highest point of the mountain, unfortunately, the Wanfo Tower is under repair, but the open river surface is enough to make up for this regret. There was a rainstorm, I have never visited the scenery in the rain, suddenly made me feel that the temple in the rain is more in line with its coldness, and feel that he is out of the world. I have read a book before, and I remember a sentence very deeply: Do worldly things with a worldly heart, and cultivate a worldly heart with worldly things. In the temple in the rain, I understand a little more. Transportation: Jiaoshan is outside Zhenjiang city, you can take a taxi or bus to get there. But the public bus in Zhenjiang is basically half an hour away.

And it’s really beautiful. It matches all my fantasies about Misty Jiangnan. There are not many people on rainy days, it’s quiet and comfortable. The full price is 50. You can take a boat to the island, visit the temple, see the courtyard, climb the hill and watch the canal. Love it, love it

The thick history of the mountains is layered, and if you like history, you will definitely study it slowly. Even if you're not interested in history, the touching and interesting stories here will make your trip worthwhile. 📚 ✨ The beauty of the Chinese characters displayed in 'Yihe Ming' deeply fascinated me, it's just too wonderful! 🖌 🛶 Jiaoshan and Beigushan are both suitable for leisurely tours, and it takes about 3 hours in total to visit both, with Beigushan being smaller. 🍲 Food recommendation: ⚠ Highly recommend Yong'an Fish Restaurant, the pufferfish tastes fresh, and you can also take a photo with a pufferfish and get a pufferfish toy. 🐡 The portion sizes are generous, remember to order in moderation! Pot cover noodles are everywhere, I tried Tao Da's long fish and beef tripe noodles, it's a surprise for those who don't like eel, not fishy and very tasty! 🤤 🐾 Special note, there are many cute cats at each attraction, cat lovers remember to bring cat food and treats, and enjoy the joy of petting cats to your heart's content! 😸 🙌 Zhenjiang tourism is underrated, it really deserves to be well promoted! Come and experience Zhenjiang! 👏
