About Zhouzhuang Ancient Town
In 1984, Chen Yifei's painting *Memories of My Hometown* made the whole country aware of this gentle water town hidden in beautiful Jiangnan. Since ancient times, Zhouzhuang has been known as the “Land of Waterways,” floating on the water like a lotus leaf. The most exquisite part of this “lotus leaf” is its bridges, and beside them stand riverside homes. Together they form the classic Jiangnan scene of “small bridges, flowing water and households.” Listening to a Kunqu opera and sampling Ah Po tea (阿婆茶) here adds a special charm.

Beigushan Scenic Area
Together with Jinshan and Jiaoshan, Beigu Mountain is known as the “Three Mountains of Jingkou” on the Yangtze River. Many of the mountain's sights are tied to stories from *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, including Ganlu Temple, the Iron Pagoda, Lu Su's Tomb, Taishi Ci's Tomb and the Eastern Wu Ancient Road. Each site has its own historical tale. Ganlu Temple is the most famous, the setting where Liu Bei arranged his marriage and met Sun Shangxiang. Xin Qiji, while visiting Beigu Mountain, wrote the famous lines: “Who can rival the heroes of the world? Cao and Liu. A son should aspire to be like Sun Zhongmou.” Behind Ganlu Temple stands Beigu Tower, from whose top the Yangtze River and much of Zhenjiang's scenery come into full view.

Xijindu Ancient Ferry Crossing
Xijindu is the cultural heart of Zhenjiang's historic city and the area with the largest number of well-preserved historical relics in the city. Ancient poets such as Li Bai, Su Shi and Lu You all waited for boats or went ashore here, and left famous poems behind. The most striking thing about Zhenjiang's old street is its tranquility. It lacks the bustle of Zhouzhuang Water Town, the glitz of Suzhou's Guanqian Street and the decay of Dongguan Street in Yangzhou. What it offers is the purest impression of an old street.

Baohuashan Mountain
Baohua Mountain is famous for its “four wonders”: beautiful woodlands, graceful peaks, deep caves and ravines, and misty scenery. Forest cover reaches as high as 92%, and the mountain has nearly a hundred ancient trees over a thousand years old. In spring, the hillsides bloom with yellow flowers of breathtaking beauty. The mountain's Longchang Temple has stood for more than 1,500 years and is currently China's largest ordination site for monastic precepts, which is why Baohua Mountain is known as the “Number One Mountain of the Vinaya School.”
¥50 (includes Qianhua Ancient Village and Longchang Temple)
Nanshan Mountain
Nanshan Scenic Area is home to three ancient temples from the Eastern Jin period, Zhaoyin Temple, Zhulin Temple and Helin Temple, as well as three famous springs: Tiger Run Spring, Deer Run Spring and Pearl Spring. The area is vast, encompassing 16 surrounding peaks. Nanshan has now added many new attractions, making it a popular self-drive destination for the surrounding region.
¥40 (the Nanshan scenic area currently requires advance booking for entry, which can be done through its official WeChat public account) · 1 day
Maoshan Mountain
The name “Maoshan Taoists” is known at home and abroad, with lineages passed down in Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries, a rare feat in the history of Chinese Daoism. Setting aside the many famous Daoist priests who cultivated here and the calligraphy left by generations of scholars and poets, the chance to glimpse the sacred light on the summit of Maoshan, the “Heavenly Lantern” (天灯), is reason enough to visit.
Peak season: ¥100, with sightseeing shuttle ¥35; off-season: ¥80, with sightseeing shuttle ¥25 · 1 day
Jiaoshan Scenic Area
Shaped like a floating jade, the mountain is covered in lush greenery, with temples and pavilions nestled among the shady trees. Its stele forest and cliff carvings preserve a rich legacy of ancient culture, and it is renowned in China as the 'Mountain of Calligraphy'.
