## About 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.
