Zhongshan 1

Zhongshan, also known as Purple Mountain, is a famous scenic spot in history, and its history can be traced back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China. Zhongshan Scenic Area is now composed of two major areas, namely, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Scenic Area in the east (including Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Scenic Area, Ming Mausoleum Scenic Area and Guling Scenic Area) and Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area in the west (including Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area and Jiuhua Mountain Scenic Area).

2. Qixia Mountain

Qixia Mountain, known as the "scenic spot of the Six Dynasties", was listed as one of the "48 scenic spots in Jinling" in the Ming Dynasty, and it has the reputation of "one Qixia Mountain, half the history of Jinling". There are more than 80 historical sites here, which are a collection of religious culture, imperial culture, green culture, folk culture, geological culture, stone carving culture and tea culture.

3. Niushoushan

Named after the two peaks on the top of the mountain stand out like Niutoujiao, it is also called Niutoushan among the people. Wang Dao, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once advised the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, who had just started his political power, to give up the idea of building a double-que, a symbol of imperial power, and asked him to go out by car and overlook the cow's head in the south, so he took the opportunity to advise Yuan Di: "This Tianque Mountain is also troublesome to change", hence the name "Tianque Mountain".

Geographical environment of Qixia Mountain

Qixia Mountain is the northern branch of Maoshan Mountain wedged into Nanjing, and the whole mountain is mountainous. Qixia Mountain consists of three mountains from south to north, with Jingjinggang in the south, Qianfo Mountain in the middle, Heishidang, Pingshantou and Sanmaofeng in the north. Qixia Mountain covers an area of about 4 square kilometers. The mountain is mainly composed of limestone and sandstone, and banded granite is distributed at the northern foot.

Qixia Mountain is composed of three mountains and two streams, and its highest peak is conical, with an altitude of 284.7 meters, which is called Fengxiang Peak. Because there are temples in ancient Sanmao Palace, it is also called Sanmao Peak. The middle peak extends eastward, and the winding one is called Dongfeng, which looks like Wolong and is named Longshan. The mountain ridge on the west side of Zhongfeng is like a tiger, so it is called Tiger Mountain. The valley between Zhongfeng and Dongfeng is called Zhongfengxi, and the valley between Zhongfeng and Xifeng is called Taohuaxi.
