From lingjiatai to thenorth, you can reach Liuyun Pavilion, the peak of Jinshan mountain. In thepavilion, there is a stone tablet named "Jiangtian glance" written by EmperorKangxi. Therefore, this pavilion is also called Jiangtian glance Pavilion. Inthe northwest of Liuyun Pavilion, there is a Qifeng Pavilion commemorating YueFei, a national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty. To the north of the pavilion,there is an ancient immortal cave at the foot of jin'ao mountain, which is arelic of Taoism.
From Guanyin pavilion to the north, you can climb the cishou tower, whichwas first built in Qiliang, more than 1400 years ago. There used to be twopagodas in Jinshan, which have been abandoned. The existing pagoda was rebuiltin 1900. The body of the tower is a wooden structure with seven steps. There arestairs to go up and down. Each floor is surrounded by corridors andguardrails.

Dear tourists, when you come to Zhenjiang, the first choice must beJinshan. Because Jinshan is not only unique in terrain, but also known as "alotus in the middle of the river". What's more important is that the buildingson the mountain are exquisite, and the mountain and the temple reflect eachother. The mountain is a temple, and the temple is a mountain. The mountain isnamed after the temple, and the temple adds color to the mountain. Therefore, itis famous for "Jinshan Temple wrapping the mountain".
Tourists: on the way to Jinshan, let me first introduce the formation ofJinshan. Jinshan is located in the northwest of Zhenjiang City, with a height of44 meters and a circumference of 520 meters. It used to be a suspended reefisland in the sea. With the vicissitudes of life, because the Yangtze Riverimpacted the Guazhou on the North Bank of Jinshan many times in the change offlow direction, the whole Guazhou collapsed into the Yangtze River in the firstyear of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1875).
The famous of Jinshan is closely related to the construction of JinshanTemple. As early as the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, a Zexin temple was built onJinshan. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Buddhist monk named Fahai who openedthe mountain and got gold here. He rebuilt the ancient temple and renamed itJinshan Temple. The scale of the temple is very grand, and the incense hascontinued to this day.
There are many moving legends in the beautiful Jinshan. The story of "wateroverflowing Jinshan Temple" in the legend of white snake adds a layer of mysteryto Jinshan. Tourists: let's go to Jinshan now!
[Jiang Tianchan's guard: Mountain Gate Tianwang hall Daxiong hall]
Ladies and gentlemen, we are now at the gate of Jinshan Temple. Lookingfrom the right side, there is a plaque of "Jiangtian Temple" hanging on thegate, which was inscribed by Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty when he visitedJinshan. The mountain gate has a strict atmosphere, with two Ming Dynasty stonelions on both sides. I don't know if you have observed that the mountain gatesof temples in China generally face south, but the mountain gates of JinshanTemple face west. This is because Jinshan originally stands in the middle of theriver, the Yangtze River flows from west to East, and the temple gate faceswest. Standing at the temple gate, you can see the magnificent momentum of "theriver goes to the East and the mountains come to the west". This also reflectsthe ingenuity of Chinese ancient architects.
Jinshan Temple was first built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It has a historyof more than 1600 years. It was formerly known as Zexin temple. Since the TangDynasty, people have called it Jinshan Temple. In its heyday, there were morethan 3000 monks, and as many as 10000 monks participated in Zen Buddhism, whichplayed an outstanding role in Buddhist temples.

It was built in October 1989, with atotal area of 800 square meters. With yellow walls, red columns, golden glazedroof, white stone column base and railing, the whole hall has both themagnificent momentum of northern temples and the exquisite and elegant style ofSouthern gardens, which makes it particularly majestic and magnificent.

In particular, Deyun Picchu inJinshan Temple and Jinshan Temple Island are also among them. Coming here, weseem to have entered a wonderful world of Buddhism.
[Xizhao Pavilion Guanyin Pavilion four treasures of Jinshan]
Please follow me to climb the mountain from the back of the main hall andenter the sunset Pavilion. There are seven well preserved steles left byQianlong during his southern tour of Jinshan. These stone tablets recordQianlong's comments on the beautiful scenery of Jinshan in his six visits to thesouth of the Yangtze River, and also leave an interesting rumor: Qianlong wasnot born to his father Emperor Yongzheng. He came to Jinshan Temple six times tofind his biological father.
From Xizhao pavilion to Guanyin Pavilion, you can visit the four treasuresroom. There are four treasures of Jinshan: "Zhou Ding, bronze drum, jade beltand Jinshan painting". First of all, let's take a look at the "Zhou Ding": Thisis a bronze ware awarded by King Xuan of Zhou to Sui Qiqi, the commander of thenorthern expedition, more than 2700 years ago, so it's called the "Zhou DynastySui Qiqi Ding". In 1884, ye Zhiguang presented it to Jinshan Temple forcollection. Then look at the "bronze drum of the Eastern Han Dynasty": it wasgiven to Jinshan Temple by Kuiyuan, the magistrate of Zhenjiang in the QingDynasty. It is said that it was created by Zhuge Liang. It can fight drums onthe front and cook utensils on the back. It is called "ZHUGE drum" by the folk.Then please enjoy the "Dongpo jade belt": it is said that Su Dongpo of the SongDynasty lost a bet with Buddhist monk fo Yin to Jinshan Temple. The belt isdecorated with white jade pieces of different shapes, such as rectangle, circleand heart. Although the jade belt has been used for more than 900 years, it isstill as bright and clean as a mirror. Finally, please enjoy the picture ofJinshan: it was painted by Wen Zhengming, one of the "four masters of MingDynasty". In the painting, the river is vast, and the golden mountain flows inthe middle. Zuo Youwen wrote poems about Ming Dynasty, followed by inscriptionsand postscripts of celebrities of past dynasties.
[miaogaotai - lengjiatai]
From Guanyin pavilion to the south along the stone steps, we come tomiaogaotai, the platform of miaogaotai. This is the Jinshan Buddhist seal builtby drilling in the song and Yuan Dynasties, also known as the sun Sutraplatform. It is said that Su Dongpo's famous Ci poem shuidiaogtou was inspiredhere. The eternal story of "Liang Hongyu fighting against Jinshan" also happenedhere. In 1130, Han Shizhong, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty,invaded Jinshan with 400 sailors and tens of thousands of soldiers. Han's wife,Liang Hongyu, ascended the stage and personally challenged the battle drum toencourage the morale of the song army. Since then, the heroines have beenimmortal for thousands of years.
From miaogaotai to the south, I came to lengjietai, also known assujinglou, which is located on the hillside of the south side of Jindong."Lengga" is an Indian word, which means "not to live", or a mountain far awayfrom the sea. This pavilion, which is surrounded by mountains and rocks, is veryskillful. From bottom to top, it has to pass through the triple towers. It isdifficult to find its way to each floor. But as soon as the entrance is opened,suddenly there are stairs to climb. We have to take twists and turns to get tothe top of the building. It really feels like "the mountains are heavy, thewaters are complex, there is no way out, and the willows are dark and theflowers are bright".
In the two spacious lounges on the top floor, you can see many ancientmahogany furniture, celebrity paintings and calligraphy. There is an exquisiteSquare Pavilion in the center, which was named "Xuelang Pavilion" because of thedisplay of Xuelang stone left by Su Dongpo. It is said that Su Dongpo wasentrusted by his old friend Foyin master in his later years to write "LengjiaSutra". Zhao Puchu, President of the Buddhist Association of China, wrote a poemhere: "the pure wind and bright moon are priceless, and there is love near themountains and far away from the water.". When we walk on the corridor outsidethe hall on the top of the stage and have a panoramic view, can we also feel theartistic conception of "clear wind and bright moon, close to mountains and faraway from water" when we see the beautiful scenery of blue sky and riversky?
[Liuyun Pavilion, Foyin Shanfang, qifengshi, guxianren cave]
Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me up the steps from Lengjia terrace toLiuyun Pavilion on the top of Jinshan mountain. Liuyun Pavilion is the most openplace in Jinshan. It is said that Emperor Kangxi accompanied his mother to visitJinshan. When he came here, he could not help saying: "here is a panoramic viewof the river and the sky." In order to please the emperor, the officialsrespectfully invited the emperor to write an inscription. When Kangxi wrote"Jiang Tianyi", he forgot to write and couldn't write any more. One of theministers saw this situation and immediately knelt down to play: "I see youtoday." When Kangxi heard that "I see you now", he suddenly realized and wrotethe word "Lan" in his essay. Because the traditional Chinese character "Lan" iscomposed of "Chen", "Jin" and "Jian", the minister skillfully used the method ofword splitting to remind Kangxi. Although this is a legend, these four words arenot all at once. Look, the word "Jiang Tianyi" is bigger than the word "Lan".Because Kangxi imperial pen "Jiangtian glance" monument in the pavilion, soLiuyun Pavilion is also known as "Jiangtian glance Pavilion".
Not far from the north of Liuyun Pavilion is Foyin mountain house. This isthe residence of the famous master Foyin in Song Dynasty. According to legend,Foyin and Su Dongpo were good friends in their youth. Once they made a bet,Foyin failed, but they had no choice but to become a monk. Because of hisexcellent knowledge, he eventually became the abbot of Jinshan and Jiaoshantemples, while Su Dongpo became a famous scholar in Song Dynasty. They oftenchanted poems and painted here.
From the Foyin mountain house to the northwest, along the road to the west,you come to the Qifeng Pavilion on the jin'ao mountain, which is also calledQifeng Pavilion. It is said that Yue Fei was urged back to Lin'an by 12 goldmedals. He passed through Zhenjiang and went to Jinshan Temple to visit abbotdaoyue. He told him that when he was camping in Guazhou last night, he dreamedof two dogs talking. Dao Yue explained her dream and said, "two dogs are talkingto each other, which is a prison word. I'm afraid there will be a prisondisaster here. Be careful." Before leaving, Dao Yue presented a poem: "the wavesare surging under the storm Pavilion. Be careful to hold the rudder firmly. Bewary of the bad will of your fellow boat, and push yourself into the waves. "Intended to remind Yue Fei. When Yue Fei was killed in the storm Pavilion, hesighed: "I regret not listening to the words of daoyue." Later, when Qin Huilearned that the abbot of daoyue in Jinshan Temple could not predict, he sentGeneral He Li to arrest him. When he arrived in Jinshan, he saw daoyue calling aBuddhist assembly and said, "I am 49 years old, and I have the end of right andwrong. Not for yourself, just because you speak more. He Li comes from thesouth, I go to the West. It's not that the Buddha is powerful. It's almost doneby hand. " Then he went back to heaven. Qin Hui didn't get Dao Yue. He thoughtthat the seven peaks on jin'ao mountain were outstanding, and every generationhad eminent monks. In a rage, he ordered to flatten the seven peaks to destroyFeng Shui. Later generations built this "seven peak Pavilion" in memory of YueFei and Dao Yue.
Along the north side of Qifeng Pavilion, there is a 6.6-meter-deep cave. Ahalf Pavilion is built according to the cave. It is a Taoist relic. Legend hasit that immortal Lu Dongbin once watched the river here, so it is calledimmortal cave. Chinese Buddhists once worshipped Guanyin in this cave, alsoknown as Baiyi cave. If you are interested, you can go down and have a look atthis ancient immortal cave.
Jinshan is located in the northwest of the city, 44 meters high, 520 metersaround, three kilometers away from the city center. In ancient times, Jinshanwas an island standing in the middle stream of the Yangtze River. It was knownas "a lotus in the middle of the river" for a long time. It was not until thereign of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty that it began to connect with the land onthe south bank, so "riding a donkey to Jinshan" was once popular. Jinshan is abeautiful scenic spot in China since ancient times.
Jinshan has many names since ancient times. The ancients compared theYangtze River to the perfume sea, comparing the mountain to the seven Jinshan inHuayan Jing, so it is called Jinshan. There is another saying in the book ofnine regions written by Wang Cun of the Song Dynasty: Fa Hai, an eminent monk ofthe Tang Dynasty, came here to repair the temple for his son. He cut throughthorns and thorns in the mountains every day and dug gold one day. Li Qi, alocal official, rebelled against the emperor. The emperor ordered that gold behanded over to Fahai for temple restoration, and the mountain was named Jinshan.In addition, Jinshan was once called Zexin mountain, Fuyu mountain, Huofumountain, Longyou mountain, Zijin Mountain, etc. The name of Jinshan is relatedto Jinshan Temple, which is built cleverly according to the mountain and has aunique architectural style. There are many buildings in the back of the temple,and the pavilions and pavilions are connected layer by layer. The mountain andthe temple are integrated to form a group of ancient buildings. The scenery isspectacular and magnificent, forming a unique style of "temple wrappedmountain". Since the Song Dynasty, there has been a saying in Beijing that"Jinshan Temple wraps the mountain, Jiaoshan mountain wraps the temple.".
Jinshan is also known as "myth mountain". Every historic site on themountain has charming myths, legends and stories. This is the origin of thewell-known Chinese classical myth "the legend of the White Snake", which iswidely spread among the people and adds a very charming color to this famouscity. In the novel Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan, Yue Fei visited the Jinshan historicsite "Qifeng Pavilion", which has a pleasant scenery. In the chapter novel watermargin, Zhang Shun lies in Jinshan Temple in the night, and Song Jiang takesRunzhou city (that is, today's Zhenjiang City) wisely. Emperor Kangxi andEmperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty visited Jinshan many times and left many"imperial" cultural relics. There are many folk tales about Qianlong in Jinshan,which makes Jinshan more famous. Poets, calligraphers, celebrities and scholarsof all ages, such as Bai Juyi, Li Bai, Zhang Hu, sun bream, Su Dongpo, WangAnshi, Shen Tuo, Fan Zhongyan, Zhao Mengfu and Wang Yangming, visited the scenicspots and left many precious relics and popular chants. Since the Tang Dynasty,there has been an endless stream of international friends and tourists. Yangxuezhou, a Japanese painting monk in the Ming Dynasty, lived in Jinshan for twoand a half years. He painted "the picture of Jinshan Longyou temple in themiddle of Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty" and other paintings about Jinshan,which are now preserved in the temple.
Jinshan, a green snail like hill, contains a lot of romantic past eventsand has infinite charm, attracting numerous Chinese and foreign poets andtourists. Some people say that "if you don't go to Jinshan in Zhenjiang, you'venever been to Zhenjiang". This has its own truth. When you visit Jinshan, youwill understand the mystery.
金山位于市区西北，高四十四米，周五百二十米，距市中心三公里。古代金山是屹立于长江中流的一个岛屿，“万川东注，一岛中立”，与瓜洲、西津渡成犄角之势，为南北来往要道，久以“卒然天立镇中流，雄跨东南二百州”而闻名，被称为“江心一朵芙蓉”。直至清代道光年间，才开始与南岸陆地相连，于是“骑驴上金山”曾盛行一时。金山形胜天然，风景幽绝，自古为我国优美游览胜地之一。
金山自古名称很多，古人把扬子江比作香水海，把这座山比作《华严经》里的七金山，所以叫作金山。而宋代王存著的《九域志》中则有另一说法：唐代高僧法海云游来此，为子修复寺庙，每日在山间披荆斩棘，一日挖到黄金。地方官李奇上反皇帝，皇帝敕令将黄金交法海作修复寺庙之用，并名山为金山。此外，金山还曾叫过泽心山、浮玉山、获茯山、龙游山、紫金山等。而金山的名则与金山寺有关，金山寺巧妙地依山而建，富有独特的建筑风格，殿宇后堂幢幢相衔，亭台楼阁层层相接，山体与寺庙浑然一体，构成一组橼摩栋接，丹辉碧映的古建筑群，景色壮观，气势雄伟，形成“寺裹山”的独特风貌。宋休以来，京流传着“金山寺裹山，焦山山裹寺”的评语。
金山又有“神话山”之称，山上每一个古迹都有迷人的神话、传说和故事。中国有名的古典神话故事《白蛇传》中“水漫金山寺”，就源出于此，民间流传甚广，为这座名城增添了十分迷人的色彩。小说《说岳全传》中的岳飞到过的金山古迹“七峰亭”，景色宜人。章回小说《水浒》中“张顺夜伏金山寺，宋江智取润州城(即今镇江城)”一回对金山瑰奇风景，作了细腻生动的描写。清代皇帝康熙、乾隆多次南巡，驻跸金山，留下不少“御制”文物，有关乾隆在金山的民间故事传说甚多，使金山更负盛名。历代诗人、书法家、名人雅士，如白居易、李白、张祜、孙鲂、苏东坡、王安石、沈拓、范仲淹、赵孟頫、王阳明等登临观景，留下了许许多多珍贵的遗迹和脍炙人口的题咏。唐代起，国际友人登山游览者络绎不绝。明代日本画僧雪舟等杨居住金山两年半时间，绘有《大唐扬子江心金山龙游禅寺之图》等有关金山的画卷，现保存在寺庙。
金山这座青螺般的小山，却包孕着许多风流往事，具有无限的魅力，吸引了无数中外骚客和游人。有人说“到了镇江不去金山，等于没到过镇江”，此话自有一番道理，当你游览金山之后，便会明白其中的奥妙。金山游览路线
江天禅寺——夕阳阁——观音阁——楞伽台——佛印山房——金山四宝——慈寺塔——古法海洞——留云亭——妙高台——七峰亭——白龙洞——朝阳洞——古仙人洞——玉带桥——御码头——郭噗墓——天下第一泉江天禅寺
金山名胜古迹甚多，俯拾皆是。玲珑秀丽的慈寿塔立于金山西北山巅之上，高30米，和整个金山及金山寺配合的恰到好处，仿佛把这座山都拔高了。砖木结构的塔，上下通行，每一层八面都有走廊和栏杆，八面通风，面面有景，层层风光不一样，宋代王安石诗云：“数重楼枕层层石，四壁窗开面面风，忽见鸟飞平地上，始惊身在半空中”。再如楞枷台、妙高台、观音阁、法海洞、古仙人洞、古白龙洞等名胜古迹，皆依山旁势凿岩而建，构思神巧，令人赞叹建筑者的神奇智慧和高超艺术。清代大诗人、大书画家张船山《十六日雪中渡江》云：“故人折简近相招，一舸横江路不遥。醇酒暗消京口雪，大帆平压海门潮。扬州灯火难为月，吴市笙歌剩此箫。那管风涛千万里，妙莲两朵是金焦。”将金山比为一朵美丽的莲花。
天下第一泉又名中泠泉，南泠泉，在金山以西一里之遥。唐代时就已闻名天下。第一泉原与金山同在江中，清咸丰、同治年间，遂随金山登陆。据记载，以前泉水在江中，江水来自西方，受到石簿山和鹘山的阻挡，水势曲折转流，分为三泠(冷是水曲的意思，三泠为南泠、中泠、北泠)，而泉水就在中间一个水曲之下，故名“中泠泉”。因位置在金山的西南面，故又称“南泠泉”。
中泠泉曾一度迷失，后来于清朝同治八年被候补道薛书常等人发现，遂命石工在泉眼四同迭石为池，并由常镇通海道观察使沈秉成，于同治十年春写记立碑，建亭覆亡。光绪年间镇江知府王仁堪又在池周造起石栏，池旁筑庭榭。并拓地四十亩，开塘种植荷菱，又筑土堤，种柳万株，抵挡江流冲击，柳荷相映，十分秀丽。方池南面石壁上刻有“天下第一泉”五个遒劲大字，为王仁堪所书。池旁盖楼建亭，池南建有一座八角亭，双层立柱，直径七米，十分宽敞，取名“鉴亭”，是以水为镜，以泉为鉴之意。亭中有石桌石凳，供游人小憩，十分风凉幽雅。池北建有两层楼房一座，楼上楼下为茶室，环境幽静，林荫覆护，风景清雅，是游客品茗的最佳之处。楼下层前壁左侧，嵌有沈秉成所书“中泠泉”三字石刻，右侧为沈秉成“中泠泉”及薛书常“中泠泉辩”石刻。
唐朝以来，中泠泉水一直为人们所喜爱。唐代评茶专家陆羽品中泠泉水为天下第一，后唐名士刘伯刍分全国水为七等，扬子江的中泠泉为第一，从此中泠泉被誉为“天下第一泉”。用此泉水沏茶，清香甘冽，相传有“盈杯不溢”之说：贮泉水于杯中，水虽高出杯口二三分都不溢;水面放上一枚硬币，也不见沉底。泉水绿如翡翠，浓似琼浆，其醇可知。
The geological and geomorphological phenomena of "Sanshan Jinshan Lake" areextremely rich and typical. In addition to a complete anticline and variousstrata of Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic, we can also see the fault surfacealong the Yangtze River and the northern flank of the anticline remaining on theriver, Jiaoshan, Songshan and LIAOSHAN, which is of unique significance for thestudy of the Yangtze River fault. It is the only material evidence that theYangtze River fault can be preserved to this day. In Beigu mountain, from thebottom to the top, we can see trachyte, tuff, rhyolitic trachyte and othervolcanic eruptive rocks. In Jinshan, the intrusion of granodiorite porphyry intoTriassic limestone can be seen. In the "No.1 spring in the world", we can alsosee the karst rising spring which was exposed in the river water in ancienttimes and has been ashore. In Jinshan Lake, we can see a series of accumulationlandforms of the Yangtze River, such as floodplain, side beach, and Zonggang. Wecan also see the erosion of the Yangtze River on the north bank (concave bank)and the accumulation of the Yangtze River on the South Bank (convex bank).Jinshan Lake, as a fluvial lake formed by the closure of the developed beach, israre in the Yangtze River
In addition, as a national scenic spot, the "three mountains" also havemany folk legends, such as "white lady flooding Jinshan Temple", "Liang Hongyubeating drums to fight the golden soldiers", "Liu Bei recruiting relatives","Jiao Guang's three imperial edicts can't afford", "Han Shizong's battle againstJin Wushu", "Du Shiniang's anger sinking the treasure chest" and so on.
Therefore, "Sanshan Jinshan Lake" has not only many geological and naturallandscapes, but also legendary cultural landscapes. The tourism industry herehas been developed earlier and has formed a considerable scale. It is the icingon the cake to build a Geopark by "upgrading and upgrading".
