🌸Have you ever heard of this saying: "There are thirteen imperial tombs in the north and the Jingjiang royal tomb in the south"? The Jingjiang Palace is the Ming Jingjiang Prince Mausoleum, known as the "No. 1 Mausoleum in Lingnan". Tour route: Chengyun Gate--Ancient King's Road--Chengyun Hall--Couple Tree--National Academy (Sleeping Palace)--Sun Yat-sen Memorial--Reading Rock (foot of Duxiu Peak)--Qing Dynasty Imperial Examination Hall--Duxiu Peak 🌼Jingjiang, also known as Mazhou Qijiang! After crossing the Jiangyin Bridge, you will arrive at Jingjiang, Jiangsu! "Jing" means stability and peace, and "Jiang" means it is close to the Yangtze River, and it is a riverside city! Jingjiang is known as the "Little Jiangnan in Northern Jiangsu". Born because of the river, prospered because of the river. The superior geographical location makes this city have both the poetic elegance of the Jiangnan water towns and the majestic momentum of the surging rivers. About Jingjiang Attractions Lonely Mountain Pass Ma Chau Park Mucheng Park Yuewang Temple Clock Tower Square Riverside sunset 🌈Nanzhiyuan Soup Dumplings (Shaking Head Soup Dumplings): These are all local time-honored brands. The crab roe soup dumplings contain real crab meat, and one dumpling has half a bowl of soup! The knife fish wontons and braised puffer fish are both must-eats. ☀️Have a bowl of duck blood vermicelli and ten sesame cakes: These two shops are next to each other, and sesame cakes and duck blood vermicelli have become a pair, and almost everyone has one and a bowl of them as standard. The vermicelli in Jingjiang is sweet potato vermicelli, which is different from the one in Zhenjiang! ☁️You can have fried buns: a local chain of fried buns, the fried buns are really delicious. 💧Gao's Food: It seems that there is only the bean curd rolls in Jingjiang, which contains steamed rice, fried dough sticks and pickled vegetables. I didn't eat it because they closed at 10 o'clock in the morning. I walked around the city for a long time and didn't see any other bean curd rolls open. If you want to eat it, try it early!

🌸 Gushan Temple Gushan Temple, a famous temple in Jingjiang, is located about five or six kilometers north of Jingjiang city center, on the solitary Gushan Mountain. Originally named Zhengjian Temple in the early Tang Dynasty, it has a history of 1,500 years. Gushan may only be a little over fifty meters in altitude, but it is the only hill between Nanjing and Nantong along the north bank of the Yangtze River; a lone peak rising abruptly from the vast plains! 🌺 To the north of Gushan Temple is a heavy gate, through which one enters the Dongyue Royal Palace, the main hall of Gushan Temple. Inside the hall are a hundred Buddha statues, resplendent in gold and jade. Behind the temple is the 'Buguiting' pavilion, with its upturned eaves and flying corners, carved beams and painted rafters. Atop the rear mountain is the 'Wangjiang Tower,' from which one can gaze into the distance to see the clear river like a ribbon and the flat fields stretching for miles. Currently, Gushan Temple houses the Shanmen Hall, Guanyin Hall, Mahavira Hall, and the Three Treasures Tower, among other facilities. The temple's six-meter-tall white jade Guanyin statue, and the eight-meter-tall iron-cast Medicine Buddha statue, are the largest of their kind in the surrounding area. Now, Gushan Temple's winding paths lead to secluded spots, with morning bells and evening drums, and incense smoke curling upwards. 🌼 The temple is predominantly red and yellow, and when the weather is good, it matches the blue sky, making it easy to take beautiful photos. It is also suitable for ladies to check in wearing traditional Chinese dresses or cheongsams! As an ancient temple on a mountain, it offers tranquility amidst the bustle, with a broad view and a peaceful mind! 🌟 For crab roe soup dumplings, 'Nanzhiyuan' is the top choice, with little difference between the special and regular versions, except the special has thinner skin. They are light in taste, not salty or greasy. Bite into one, suck out the soup, add some ginger and vinegar, and it's really too comfortable. After the soup dumplings, head to Gushan. The weekend I went there was a market, with stalls lining the provincial road for over a kilometer, truly a spectacular sight. 'On the third day of the third month, go up to Gushan.' 🔥 After descending the mountain, head to Jishi Ancient Town, where I bought Jishi Zhaoshao Bing, fermented rice buns, and Ying cake. This destination was not in the original travel plan, but was inspired by a food documentary I happened to see once, which featured Jishi Zhaoshao Bing. Although this snack is clearly a high-calorie mix of sugar and oil, I remember being moved by the copywriting at the time, and I was determined to try it.
