Jinshan Temple
Jinshan is located to the northwest of Zhenjiang city, with an elevation of 43.7 meters and covers an area of 41.6 hectares. The scenery of Jinshan is secluded and naturally beautiful, and it has been one of China's famous tourist destinations since ancient times. In ancient times, Jinshan was an island standing in the middle of the Yangtze River, known as 'a beautiful lotus flower in the heart of the river'. Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Hu described it as 'tree shadows seen in the flowing water, bell sounds heard from both banks'. Northern Song Dynasty scholar Shen Kuo praised it saying, 'Pavilions and towers on both banks connect with the water, north and south of the river reflect the sky in the mirror.' Originally an island in the Yangtze River, due to the 'eastward flow of the great river', by around the end of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1903), it became connected to the mainland.

An underrated treasure city (Zhenjiang, where Bai Suzhen was suppressed by Fahai)
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.

His virtues are forever cherished
To commemorate Wang Renkan, the people of Zhenjiang built a 'Wang Gong Temple' to the south of Zhongling Spring on Mount Jingshan in the western suburbs, and constructed an octagonal pavilion by the spring, named 'Jian Pavilion', symbolizing Wang Renkan's noble spirit and integrity, as clear and reflective as the pool water. In 2017, to present the precious historical materials of Wang Renkan's diligent and honest governance to future generations, Zhenjiang established the Wang Renkan Memorial Hall. The couplet inside the hall reads: 'For the people, he loved, cared, and closely connected with great deeds that will be forever recorded in history; with honest, diligent, and practical governance, his noble spirit and integrity enlighten the future generations,' which is a high summary of Wang Renkan's official demeanor.

With just one phrase 'Spring is not late', I arrived in Zhenjiang~
I thought Zhenjiang was a niche travel destination, but I still got stuck in Jinshan Temple 😣
Jiaoshan The first stop after getting off the high-speed train was Jiaoshan, an independent 'small island' that requires a boat to reach. There weren't too many people, and a boat carried down about two hundred people. From entering to leaving, it took a total of 2 hours.
Beigushan Many people must have studied Wang Wan's 'Under Beigushan' poem, with the line 'Guest roads beyond the green mountains, boat travels in front of the green waters' prompting me to visit Beigushan at noon. The mountain is not very big, and it took just over an hour to descend.
Jinshan After climbing Beigushan, I went back to the hotel to rest for a while. At 3:30 pm sharp, I entered the gates of Jinshan. Boy, it was bustling with people. Many must have come for the 'Ganlu Temple Matchmaking' event. The entrance to the Jiangtian Zen Temple was almost impenetrable, and Jinshan Temple was even more exceptional, with a half-hour blockage at the entrance due to crowd control. However, Jinshan is still worth visiting, both for its historical anecdotes and the architecture that remains today. Since Jinshan is larger than Beigushan and Jiaoshan, and my energy was somewhat depleted, it took nearly four hours.
Xijindu Ancient Street It is said that Zhenjiang's three mountains and one ferry encapsulate a thousand years at a glance. This 'one ferry' refers to Xijindu, and the ancient street looked beautiful in the evening. The brick buildings were antique, and the shops along the road became a landscape in themselves. The Zhenjiang vinegar, visible everywhere, was truly unique. By the time I finished strolling and returned to the hotel, it was already past eight o'clock.
Accommodation:
Zhenjiang Yiquan·State-owned Commune Cultural Experience Theme Hotel (Xijindu Jinshan Temple Store) Because I booked the hotel online well in advance, I didn't catch the price hike during the Qingming festival. This hotel, costing just over a hundred, was really good. The receptionist was very nice and even gave me breakfast coupons. It's less than a ten-minute walk from the hotel to Jinshan Temple, which is very convenient.
The one-day tour of Zhenjiang ended successfully, checking off the three mountains and one ferry 👌

Jinshan, the foremost among the three mountains
Located in the northwest of the main urban area of Zhenjiang City, Jinshan boasts secluded and exquisite scenery, and its natural beauty has made it one of China's famous tourist destinations since ancient times. Originally, Jinshan was an island standing in the middle of the Yangtze River, known for its beauty as 'a lotus flower in the heart of the river'. However, due to the eastward flow of the 'Great River', by the end of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (around 1903), it became connected to the mainland.
The Jinshan Scenic Area is the leader of Zhenjiang's 'Three Mountains (Jinshan, Jiaoshan, Beigushan)', consisting of Jinshan Temple, Cishou Pagoda, 'the Number One Spring under Heaven', Pagoda Shadow Lake, Hundred Flowers Islet, and Mirror Sky Garden, among other attractions. For thousands of years, many folk tales such as 'The Legend of the White Snake Floods Jinshan Temple' originated here, and historical figures like Su Dongpo and Yue Fei have formed bonds with Jinshan.

I thought Suzhou was already beautiful, until I went to Zhenjiang
It's more livable than Nanjing, more legendary than Yangzhou, this forgotten millennium-old city is excessively understated in its beauty! That's Zhenjiang! Spring is the perfect season to embark on a journey to Zhenjiang🌸
-
🌟Jinshan Temple
🎫: Off-season 50, peak season 65
A 5A-level scenic spot, the filming location of 'The Legend of the White Snake', the 'Golden Mountain' in 'Water Floods Golden Mountain' refers to this place! The temple is full of ancient trees and singing birds, set against yellow walls and black tiles, offering great visual appeal, with a high photo-taking success rate. There's also the official Jinshan coffee, which tastes decent
-
🌟Xijin Ferry Ancient Street
🎫: 🆓
A historical district, with a main street winding upwards, the foreground features the ancient city lights, and the background is adorned with mountainous temples and pavilions, exuding a sense of the past. Although the alley is not very large, the attractions within are worth stopping to visit. The Zhao Guan Stone Pagoda and Yuntai Pavilion are good for checking in. The downside is that it's very commercialized, and the commercial value for money is not high
-
🌟Zhenjiang Museum (Former British Consulate)
🎫: 🆓 Reservation required
Adjacent to Xijin Ferry Ancient Street, the museum has two exhibition halls, featuring bronze ware, gold and silver ware, and crafts. Admission is free, but reservations must be made in advance on 🍊. There might be street musicians playing outside the museum, which is quite romantic
-
🌟Beigu Mountain
🎫: 30
Steep and towering, standing on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Ganlu Temple is located here, but it's not the one from the story of Huanhuan. There are fewer tourists than at Jinshan, suitable for climbing and enjoying the panoramic view of Zhenjiang
-
🌟Jiangda Back Street Snack Street
🎫: 🆓
Gathering delicacies from all over, reminiscent of the college days, you can come here for the night market. I chose a few stalls with friends, none of which were disappointing, but they were also quite common, and the location is relatively remote
-
🌟Guanyin Bridge Alley
🎫: 🆓
This street has many beautiful shops, mostly coffee shops and simple meals. The reviews are mixed, so it's best to search for ratings before going
-
🚄About transportation: It's very close to Yangzhou, Nanjing, and Shanghai! An excellent choice for weekend trips! The attractions in Zhenjiang are mostly connected and close to each other, making it convenient to take the bus
-
🍜Food recommendation: Pot Cover Noodles (just pick any shop, they're all pretty good), Feiquan's buns
-
❌Avoid: Went to try the loin at the entrance of Yong'an Food Market because of its fame, but it felt very ordinary, not really worth a special trip

The Vinegar Exploration Journey | A day trip to Zhenjiang was so much fun
A day trip to Zhenjiang was really enjoyable. Nanjing has been known as a beautiful city, but it wasn't until I set foot in Zhenjiang that I discovered an even more picturesque place! Climbing high for a broad view, tasting delicious food, appreciating beautiful scenery, a main mission about special forces travel made me fall deeply in love with 'Vinegar Capital' Zhenjiang. This trip was so worthwhile! 🌟
📅 Itinerary:
🚄 Vinegar Culture Museum - Yong'an Fish Restaurant - Xijindu - Jingshan - Yong'an Road Market
🏠 Accommodation:
Choosing to stay near Xijindu not only is close to the train station but also makes it very convenient to visit various attractions!
🚌 Transportation:
Although Zhenjiang is not large and the attractions are concentrated, there is no subway. However, taking a taxi or a bus is quite convenient~
📍 Vinegar Culture Museum (1 hour)
Ticket price: 19 yuan
This place is simply a paradise for vinegar lovers! I've already sent two large boxes of fragrant vinegar and vinegar candy back home! Came here for the vinegar ice cream! The soy sauce cheese flavor is really delicious! Zhenjiang vinegar is probably the only thing that can unify the taste buds of Jiangsu!
📍 Jingshan (2 hours)
Ticket price: 45 yuan
The legendary place where the water flooded Jingshan in the White Snake legend! The filming location of the TV series is right here! The ancient temple with yellow walls and black tiles, the bright yellow temple walls, are very photogenic. It is recommended to go around 4 pm, the sunset scenery is breathtaking~
📍 Yong'an Fish Restaurant
Average consumption 60 yuan
This is a local time-honored chain restaurant! Really worth the taste! There are 7 stores, and you can't go wrong with any of them! The owners are all from Zhenjiang, featuring local Zhenjiang cuisine! Touched a pufferfish for the first time, so cute! The fish is fresh and tender, full of collagen flavor, the braised pork is sweet but not greasy, very good with rice! The meatballs are also fragrant! The specialty dishes are all delicious!
📍 Xijindu (2 hours)
No admission fee
This place is really worth a visit! The scenery during the day and night is unique! The historical sites are well preserved, and the streets are quaint and charming! Wearing a new Chinese-style cheongsam for photos, the effect is amazing! Also tried the pot cover noodles!
📍 Yong'an Market (0.5 hours)
Lost in a variety of snacks and can't extricate myself... It's too good to stroll around!
Pork loin skewers, rice cakes, salted egg yolk pork floss baked buns, rice cakes, Yangzhou yogurt... all kinds of treasure shops! Simply can't finish eating!
🖇️ The museum, consulate, and Xijindu are all in one place, suitable for a walk after a meal. If there's time, you can stroll around City Walk together!
The pace of life in Zhenjiang is leisurely, and the cost of living is low! It's quite interesting to spend a day wandering around! If I have the chance, I will come back to play again! 🌿🍜📸

Zhenjiang Impressions
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.

Charming Zhenjiang, a millennium-old Jingkou
Zhenjiang, formerly known as Jingkou and Runzhou, is a national historical and cultural city. Its main attractions are 'Three Mountains and One Ferry', namely Jinshan, Jiaoshan, Beigushan, and Xijindu. Here lies the legend of the White Lady flooding Jinshan, Su Shi's beautiful verse 'But wish people long-lasting, a thousand miles share the beauty of the moon'; Sun Quan's historical record of 'losing his wife and soldiers'; Xin Qiji's verse 'Where to look at the divine land? Full of scenery, Beigu Tower. How many ups and downs in the past? Long. The Yangtze River keeps rolling.'; The sigh of 'Lian Po is old, can he still eat?'; This general poet from the hometown of Confucius and Mencius dedicated his life to the cause of recovering the Central Plains, lamenting his unfulfilled ambition, expressing his endless desolation and loneliness at the end of his heroic journey; Wang Changling was slandered and demoted in his later years, serving as the county magistrate of Jiangning in a foreign land, and his poignant feelings when seeing off his friend returning home can be imagined. What he entrusted at parting was only the ice heart in the jade pot to reveal his inner feelings. 'Cold rain connects the river and enters Wu at night, sending guests to Chu Mountain alone in the early morning. If friends and relatives in Luoyang ask, there is a piece of ice heart in the jade pot.' Across the millennium, one can feel the poet's reluctance to part with his friend and his concern for his distant relatives as he looks at the distant mountains across the river, and his moral self-encouragement in the face of life's difficulties with the ice heart in the jade pot, remaining true to his original aspiration despite adversity. Wang Anshi was summoned to Beijing, passing through Jingkou and heading north along the canal. When he passed through Guazhou, he was moved by the scenery and wrote the famous 'Boat Mooring at Guazhou' 'Jingkou Guazhou is separated by a river, Zhongshan is only separated by several mountains. The spring breeze turns the south bank of the river green again, when will the bright moon shine on me again', showing Wang Anshi's joyful mood and political ambition through the scenery.
Xijindu Ancient Street is a 4A scenic spot, which has witnessed the evolution of Jiangnan civilization. Every brick and tile on the ancient street carries a heavy cultural and historical heritage, telling the past glory and vicissitudes. Xijindu Ancient Street is the area with the most, most concentrated, and best preserved cultural relics in Zhenjiang, and is the 'cultural vein' core area of Zhenjiang's historical and cultural city. Li Bai, Meng Haoran, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Lu You, Marco Polo, Qianlong and others have all waited for boats or landed here, leaving many poems for later generations to recite. Xijindu Ancient Street has witnessed the rise and fall of Zhenjiang, and also embodies the local long-standing cultural memory. The ancient street is about 1 kilometer long, with ancient buildings from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties on both sides of the bluestone-paved street. These buildings have unique shapes, with flying eaves and corners, and the mottled walls tell of the long history. The traditional houses built with blue bricks on both sides of the street show traces of history and vicissitudes, taking visitors into the scroll of a thousand years of history. The 'Zhaoguan Stone Tower' in the ancient street is said to be the earliest existing street-crossing stone tower in China. Its shape is like a large bottle, also known as the 'Bottle Tower', which is a historical witness of Zhenjiang. Xijindu used to be close to the Yangtze River and was an important passage between the north and south of the river. With the changes of the times, the river has moved eastward and is now away from the bank of the Yangtze River. But the modern Xijindu Ancient Street still maintains a simple and leisurely atmosphere, and also retains authentic local snacks, such as the famous 'Zhenjiang Yorou' and 'Pot Lid Noodles', which are loved by locals. If you have the chance to come to Zhenjiang, don't miss this ancient 'cultural vein' block. Walking on the stone-paved road of the ancient street, feeling the historical imprint of this city, is fascinating. The ancient block, in its unique way, calls on tourists from afar to appreciate its unique charm.
Zhenjiang, a millennium-old city, with a long history and culture, stands at the mouth of Xijindu, with distant mountains and wide rivers, blending sky and water, with clouds and mists rolling, evoking feelings. The low-key ancient city of Zhenjiang is worth a visit!

Wow! Zhenjiang is simply too beautiful, as if I've stumbled into a fairyland!
🤩 I highly recommend friends from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai to visit Zhenjiang over the weekend! 🎉
Not only is it suitable for friends who like history, enjoy leisure, and love photography, 📸 but there are also delicious pufferfish and pot cover noodles waiting for you to taste! 🐡🍜
🚄 It only takes a little over an hour to get here by high-speed train from Shanghai! ✨
🗺 Attractions recommendation: Jiaoshan, Beigushan, Jinshan, Xijindu. 🤩 Jiaoshan is really underrated!
🚶♂️ Itinerary:
Day1: Jiaoshan, Beigushan, for a journey of historical nostalgia. 🌄
Day2: Jinshan, Xijindu Ancient Street, to start a photography tour. 📷
⚠ If the weather is good, you must visit Jinshan. The Jinshan Temple under the blue sky and white clouds is breathtaking! 🎇 The cultural and creative products of Jinshan are also very good, remember to bring a notebook to get stamps! As soon as you enter the scenic area, you can hear the pleasant sound of wind chimes, which instantly immerses you. 🎐
🙅 The commercial atmosphere of Xijindu is not very appealing to me, but the Guanyin Cave and Zhao Guan Stone Pagoda nearby are really nice! The old streets here are uniquely arranged and are definitely worth stopping to appreciate! 🤩
📜 Jiaoshan and Beigushan are highly recommended! 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! 👏

Wang Gong Temple
Summary of Wang Renkan's life: Wang Renkan (1849-1893), styled Kezhuang. He was from Min County, Fujian (now Fuzhou City). He was the top scholar in the imperial examination in the third year of Guangxu (1877). In November of the sixteenth year of Guangxu (1890), he was appointed as the prefect of Zhenjiang, and took office in March of the following year. In July of the nineteenth year of Guangxu (1893), he was transferred to be the prefect of Suzhou. He died of illness in October while in office.
By the time Wang Renkan took office, the port had been open for nearly 30 years, with consulates from Britain and the United States and a British concession. The port was prosperous, especially with a large volume of transshipment trade. However, at that time, China as a whole had fallen into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal state, with prominent social contradictions and backward infrastructure in agriculture, education, and water conservancy. As soon as Wang Renkan took office, he was hit by a series of natural and man-made disasters such as the Danyang Church case, drought, and locust plague. But he was brave enough to take responsibility, practicing real politics with sincerity, settling the church case, donating money, raising funds for water conservancy, eliminating locust plague, relieving the disaster-stricken people, promoting charity, running schools, and building Yiquan, which won the hearts of the people. After his death, the gentry and people of Zhenjiang built many temples for him to express their commemoration and mourning.
After Wang Renkan's death, Han Biyuan and other gentry of Zhenjiang jointly submitted a letter to Liu Kunyi, the governor of the two Jiangs, listing Wang Renkan's various political achievements and asking the court to order the history museum to write a biography for Wang Renkan. After Liu Kunyi's investigation, he praised Wang Renkan in his memorial to Emperor Guangxu: 'Wang Renkan's heart of kindness and righteousness, no rush for success, no near fame', comparing him with five representative clean and capable officials from the Western Han and Northern Song dynasties, praising him for 'practicing real politics with sincerity', 'distinctly having the style of ancient honest officials'. In view of Wang Renkan's outstanding deeds, the Qing court ordered the National History Museum to write a biography for him.

Zhenjiang is a famous cultural city in the south of the Yangtze River with a history of more than 3500 years, formerly known as 'Yi', 'Zhufang', 'Dantu', 'Jingkou', 'Runzhou'
Zhenjiang is a famous cultural city in the south of the Yangtze River with a history of more than 3500 years, formerly known as 'Yi', 'Zhufang', 'Dantu', 'Jingkou', 'Runzhou'. According to research, it was part of the nine provinces of Yu Gong in ancient times, and was the fief of Yi Hou in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. In 1113 AD (the third year of the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty), Runzhou was renamed Zhenjiang Prefecture, which has been used to this day. It is said that the rulers at that time thought that Zhenjiang had a superior geographical location, with mountains in the back and facing the river, and it was a strategic location for river defense, hence the name Zhenjiang. The Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal converge here, and it has always been known as the 'first river and mountain in the world'.
Zhenjiang, 'a water is laid out horizontally, with continuous ridges on three sides, showing a competitive posture', its city is in the mountains, and the mountains are in the city, forming a unique landscape of 'urban mountain forest' and 'real mountain and real water'. The urban area along the river from west to east is inlaid with Jinshan, Beigu Mountain, and Jiaoshan, forming a 'three mountains' scenic area with different scenery. The 'temple-wrapped mountain' Jinshan is famous for its beauty, the 'mountain-wrapped temple' Jiaoshan is famous for its majesty, and the 'temple-crowned mountain' Beigu Mountain is famous for its steepness. There is also the 'thousand-year-old ferry, hundred-year-old street' Xijin Ferry, known as 'Three Mountains and One Ferry'

Dali's new homestay‖You can see the sunrise over the Golden Mountain without leaving the house!
Dali Lijiang accommodation recommendation~No ads, just genuine sharing!!
This time I spent 6 days in Yunnan, 4 days in Dali and 2 days in Lijiang, and stayed in two hotels, both of which were good experiences~
Lijiang Mishan Guiyun: I stumbled upon this one on the software and didn't see anyone sharing it. I booked the most basic room type with a try-it-out attitude and it really surprised me!
It's a newly opened homestay this year. The whole building only has 4 rooms. We stayed in the most basic room type for less than 600! The room is very clean, the area is also large, it's very comfortable to live in, and this price is really worth it.
Inside the homestay, each floor has a large floor-to-ceiling window where you can see the snow mountain! If you want to see the sunrise over the Golden Mountain, you don't need to go out, you can see it directly in the hotel. The homestay also has three big dogs that are very well-behaved and cute. Dog lovers can
The location is in a village next to Baisha Ancient Town. It takes 7-8 minutes to walk to the ancient town. It's not far to take a taxi to Yuhu Village.
Dali Anqi Holiday Hotel: This one is in Shuanglang. You can see Erhai Lake from the room.
I stayed in two types of rooms. The very popular one that looks like a picture frame is a bit small. I personally think it's only suitable for taking pictures, but the one with a terrace is much larger and more comfortable to live in.
Although it's a homestay, the service is very good. There are also many sea view cafes nearby. There are not many people here, so it's suitable for those who like a quiet vacation.

Use water as a mirror, use spring as a mirror| Wang Renkan Memorial Hall (1367)
|Wang Renkan Memorial Hall (1367). Wang Renkan Memorial Hall, there is a two-story small building next to the Lengquan in Jinshan, Zhenjiang, which is the Wang Renkan Memorial Hall. Wang Renkan's three-year tenure as the prefect of Zhenjiang was outstanding. He was honest and diligent, pacified the teaching case, relieved the disaster-stricken people, repaired water conservancy, and cultivated talents. 'The official does not know the prefect, the life is less than fifty, the political voice, the article, the calligraphy name is heavy at the time' is his best portrayal.
Jianting, is the place where the elders of Zhenjiang sent him off when Wang Renkan left office, which contains the profound meaning of 'use water as a mirror, use spring as a mirror'.

Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty once wrote the "Jiangtian Temple", but since the Tang Dynasty, people have called Jinshan Temple, which is the birthplace of the Chinese Buddhist Buddhist scriptures, the worship of Buddhas and the pursuit of the undead. The Jinshan Temple Temple faces the west and is built on the mountain. The temple is connected with the pavilion and the pavilion is full of golden buildings.
