Jiaoshan offers a scenic retreat brimming with vitality

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.

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.

A person's Jiaoshan

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.
