Jinshan Mountain
Zhenjiang (ZJ)
Zhenjiang is surrounded on three sides by hills and
mountains. In the southern suburbs, these vertical peaks are
planted with countless old trees and bamboo groves. Jinshan
Mountain is a major attraction of Zhenjiang, situated in its
northwest, three kilometers from the city center. It was
originally an islet situated in the middle of the river. Later,
because of the constant deposits of mud and sand, it was
connected to the mainland. It is noted for its enchanting
scenery. The temple on the hill is said to have been built in the
Eastern Jin Dynasty. As the temple is built along the hill with
one layer above the other, there is a common saying that "the
temple covers the hill.” In the mythical tale of Legend of the
White Snake, the story of the white snake Bai Suzhen took
place on Jinshan Hill.
