    Since it was my first time in Zhenjiang, I definitely had to visit this place. I bought my ticket a day in advance, saving 5 yuan—better than nothing! Jinshan Temple was the main attraction, but it was incredibly crowded on the weekend, making it virtually impossible to take a photo without people. Even the small path leading up was packed! Finally, I went to the boat dock to ride an electric boat. Seeing Jinshan Temple from afar was a nice alternative.

    In my opinion, it's a very nice scenic spot. 1. Rich in historical significance. Liu Bei's story of seeking a wife at Ganlu Temple takes place here. Emperor Wu of Liang exclaimed that the Yangtze River was the "Number One River Under Heaven" here. Xin Qiji wrote his famous poem "Nanxiangzi: Climbing Beigu Pavilion in Jingkou with Sentiments" here. 2. Exquisite architecture. Pavilions and towers are arranged in a harmonious and orderly manner. The riverside buildings have a soaring, almost floating, feel. The winding, interconnected corridors also give the complex a constantly changing view. 3. Diverse scenery. To the north, you can enjoy the ever-flowing Yangtze River. To the east and west, you can admire the rows of buildings along the riverbank. To the south, you can enjoy lush, verdant forests.

    Maoshan Scenic Area blends Taoist culture with natural scenery, boasting beautiful mountains, high forest coverage, and fresh air. The main Taoist temples and palaces attract many visitors and feature distinctive architecture. Touring by scenic shuttle bus is relatively easy, and the views from the summit are expansive. It gets very crowded during holidays, so early departure is recommended. Suitable for tourists who enjoy cultural history and short, relaxing hikes.

    Jiaoshan is generally well-maintained, and the autumn colors are at their peak this season. The ancient ginkgo trees paired with the temples are particularly striking. Two points to complain about: 1. The ticket price is 65 yuan for the day of purchase and 45 yuan for the following day. Isn't this a harsh punishment for same-day ticket buyers? 2. Jiaoshan is a great place to watch the sunset, but unfortunately, the last ferry leaves at 5 pm. Leaving the island means missing the most beautiful sunset over the river, which is quite a pity.

    Fangshan Park in Tangshan, Jiangning is one of the parks of Tangshan and Fangshan National Geopark. Fangshan is one of the scenic spots in Jinling. It is called Tianyin Fangshan because of its unique mountain shape. Fangshan is a volcano that erupted 10 million years ago and preserves various rocks that erupted. It is a typical representative of volcanoes that erupted in the same period in eastern China. Fangshan has two entrances in the north and west, with more than 30 scenic spots such as Eighteen Bends, Tianyin Palace, Laoshilongchi, Dinglin Temple, Dinglin Inclined Tower, and Ziwu Vegetable Garden. Fangshan, with volcanic eruption relics everywhere, has now become a national geological park that integrates the characteristics of mountains, green forests, strange stones, strange towers, and ancient temples. The famous Dinglin Temple Pagoda is located at the northern foot of Fangshan. It was built in the Southern Song Dynasty and is an affiliated building of Dinglin Temple. It has a history of more than 830 years. The tower is a seven-story, eight-sided imitation wood structure pavilion, about 13 meters high, and this tower is dedicated to Buddha statues. The tower has a beautiful shape, fine carvings, and is unique. Dinglin Temple Pagoda is currently the oldest pavilion-style hard pagoda in Nanjing and is listed as a provincial cultural relic protection unit. There is a Ziwu tea garden in Fangshan, and the soil in the tea garden is rich in minerals.

    The environment is good, the park is quite large, divided into 3 scenic areas, the parking fee is not expensive, the feeling of misty rain, the bamboo forest is very beautiful, divided into Zhaoyin, Zhulin, Wenyuan three scenic areas, Zhaoyin scenic area is relatively large, and the other two scenic areas are a little far away, this time I did not prepare a strategy in advance, next time I will prepare a strategy in advance
