Jiaoshan, surrounded by green waves, full of green mountains, like a jade floating in the river,
Jiaoshan, surrounded by green waves, full of green mountains, like a jade floating in the river, and facing the Elephant Mountain on the opposite bank, is known as 'thousands of rivers flow eastward, one island stands in the middle', known as the 'Water Park of the South of the Yangtze River', and is known as the 'Floating Jade in the River'. The mountain is 71 meters high and has a circumference of more than 2000 meters. It is named after Jiaoguang, a hermit of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The general recommended route for Jiaoshan tour is right: Dinghui Temple-Mingshan Memorial Hall-Steles Forest-Yihe Ming-Bonsai Garden-Ancient Battery-Xijiang Building-Tinglin Mountain House-Biefeng Nunnery-Wanfo Tower-Baishou Pavilion-Sanzhao Cave-Cliff Carvings-Huayan Pavilion-Jiaogong Temple, the journey can be about 2-3 hours. Since it is a revisit to the old place to recall the past, I decided to go to the cliff carvings first by walking left from Dinghui Temple. The whole area along the river at the western foot of Jiaoshan is all steep cliffs, with floating jade, plank roads, Guanyin, and Yihe Ming rocks. Among them are the inscriptions of famous people from all dynasties since the Six Dynasties. There are various calligraphy styles such as regular, cursive, official, and seal scripts. The content is rich, like a natural exhibition of ancient calligraphy, full of beautiful things. When you arrive at the Floating Jade Rock, the most eye-catching are the two vigorous and beautiful characters 'Floating Jade' written by the Song calligrapher Zhao Mengkui; the imitation ancient tower with the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the south of the Yangtze River--the Wanfo Tower is located at the top of Jiaoshan, the tower is 42 meters high, the altitude is 70.4 meters, you can climb the tower and look far away, the river and sky scenery is all in sight, the front and back doors are embedded with 'the sea does not raise waves', 'the middle stream is a pillar' Eight vigorous and powerful stone carvings (it happens to be under repair and not open to the public); at the foot of the mountain on the east side of Jiaoshan, facing the eight dark fort-style gun forts solidified with lime soil at the mouth of the Yangtze River, this is the famous Jiaoshan Anti-British Battery, an important relic of China's modern anti-British anti-imperialist struggle; the osmanthus flowers in the osmanthus garden have mostly withered, and the remaining sporadic flowers still emit strands of fragrance, and the mountain comes down and it is refreshing with the wind; compared with some famous mountains and rivers, Jiaoshan does not appear to be tall and prominent, but it has its uniqueness The place is the famous Jiaoshan Stele Forest in the south of the Yangtze River, the majestic cliff carvings and stele art, making Jiaoshan a mountain of calligraphy known at home and abroad. The stele forest treasures more than 400 steles from all dynasties, the most famous of which is the 'King of Steles', 'The Ancestor of Big Characters' called the rare stele-'Yihe Ming', it is said that the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wrote a inscription to commemorate the death of the pet crane, originally carved on the stone wall of the west mountain of Jiaoshan, and later fell into the river due to collapse, what we see now is the rubbings of later generations; 'Jiaoshan autumn is strong, the red and yellow leaves are different', it is deep autumn, the ginkgo trees in the stele forest are just fluttering with the wind, slowly falling between the black tiles and green bamboo, covering the ground with apricot yellow, adding a layer of quiet and elegant color to the green and lush Jiaoshan.
Don't miss Dinghui Temple, let's appreciate this golden autumn together!
The ancient ginkgo trees in Dinghui Temple in Suzhou have turned yellow, which is definitely a beautiful landscape in autumn. If you also want to see this golden beauty, don't hesitate, come to Dinghui Temple quickly!
Dinghui Temple has a history of more than 1800 years and has a deep heritage. The two ancient ginkgo trees in front of the Daxiong Hall in the temple have a history of more than 200 years. In late autumn, the golden ginkgo leaves are scattered all over the courtyard, as if entering a golden world. The ginkgo leaf scenery here can be described as an excellent place to enjoy leaves in the temple.

The severely underestimated city in Jiangsu: Nantong
Nantong can be said to be a severely underestimated city in Jiangsu.
Here, there is a mountain, a river, a person, and a city.
This time we didn't go to that mountain, but we experienced the people and the city by the water.
The scenery on both sides of the Hao River is endless. Although it is not as elegant as the gardens in Suzhou on the opposite bank, it is not lacking in charm.
The Hao River in Nantong is one of the most well-preserved ancient moats in China. It is recorded in the history that in the fifth year of Xian De of the Later Zhou Dynasty (AD 958), the five pavilions of 'Long Rainbow, Moon Viewing, Fish Joy, Hao Pu, and Xun Wind' floated on the blue waves, dreamlike.
Located on the bank of the Hao River is the first public museum independently established by the Chinese, the first batch of national first-class museums, and the national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, founded by Zhang Jian, a pioneer of early modernization in China and a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty.
The museum has long-term exhibitions on Mr. Zhang Jian's integrity thought, and currently there is a Nantong furniture making skills exhibition on display.
In addition to this, I am more interested in the Jianghai Cetacean Biological Resources Special Exhibition Hall. There is a lot of knowledge and specimens about whales, which is very interesting and good for taking pictures.
The exterior of the museum is like a small park, with many locals relaxing and strolling here every day.
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday (closed on Monday)
Address: No. 19, Haonan Road, Chongchuan District, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province.
Nearby, there are also very characteristic theme museums such as the Blue Calico Museum, the Audit Museum, and the Abacus Museum, especially worth mentioning is Zhang Jian's former residence, which is very characteristic. Hao River Scenic Area

Because I don't like places that are too crowded,

a city with both high cost-performance and playability.

🚘 1.5h from Shanghai, 2h from Suzhou
🚄 Take the high-speed train/train to Qidong Station, Nantong Station, or Nantong West Station, then renting a car for a self-drive is more convenient.
The correct way to start exploring Qidong City in Nantong
To put it simply, Qidong City is not very large.
If you don't participate in the mission storyline,
it will take about an hour and a half to visit.
However, there are many performances. If you don't want to come for costume photos
or to play the storyline, then just enjoying the snacks and waiting for the performances is also good.
If you want to engage in the storyline, it is recommended to come when there are fewer people.
A day is a thousand years · Qidong City

The little white lion of Nantong Forest Wildlife Zoo
The white lion, also known as the 'albino African lion', is a variant of the Kruger lion, native to Africa. The white lion was first discovered in South Africa in the last century, and the number of white lions in the world is less than 100.
The variant of the Kruger lion, native to Africa. The white lion was first discovered in South Africa in the last century. As of 2009, there were only about 130 white lions in the world. Some of the white lions in China are the offspring of white lions and ordinary lions, and their fur is not pure white, but mixed with yellow.
Like the white tiger, golden tiger, and snow tiger, only the Kruger lion in the African lion will have white lions, and only the Bengal tiger in the tiger will have white tigers, golden tigers, and snow tigers.
White lions are not animals with albinism, their eyes are generally light blue. Some scientists have suggested that white lions may be an ancient breed that lived in colder, snow-covered wild environments such as the Arctic. The white color was a protective color that was beneficial to the living environment at that time. After biological evolution, this species gradually disappeared, but the gene for white fur still exists in a few yellow African lions today. Therefore, the parents of the white lion cubs first discovered in South Africa were ordinary yellow-haired African lions. After artificial breeding, the current white lion family was formed. But in the wild in South Africa, there are still occasional reports of yellow lions giving birth to white lion cubs. It can be seen that the white lion is the result of the genetic mutation of the African lion, but the cause of the mutation is not yet clear. Because their fur color is more conspicuous in the wild environment, their concealment is poor, which leads to a low success rate of predation and difficult survival. Although there are also reports about black lions, there is no evidence.
Similarities and differences between white lions and common African lions
Similarities: Because they are the offspring of the genetic mutation of the African lion, their living habits are basically the same; the size of the individual and the degree of development are consistent; the male lion will grow long mane after maturity, while the female lion does not; there is no obvious difference in call.
Differences: The first is the difference in fur color. The fur color of the white lion is white without other mixed colors. The fur color of the African lion is mostly brown-yellow and earth-yellow, and the mane of the adult male lion is mixed with black. The second is the difference in eye color. The eye color of the white lion is mostly light blue, and the eye color of the African lion is mostly yellow. Finally, the color of the nose, the nose of the white lion is light pink, and the nose of the African lion is dark flesh.
