He said: "Jiaoshan is my second hometown." The temples, pavilions and other historical sites in Jiaoshan are quite unique, and most of them are hidden in the shadow of the mountain, so there is a saying that "Jiaoshan is surrounded by temples". Jiaoshan is different from Jinshan. The mountain is tall and majestic, while Jinshan is small and exquisite. Jiaoshan is famous for its green bamboos and trees, and Jinshan is famous for its glorious pagodas and temples. Since ancient times, there has been a folk saying that "the mountain wraps around the temple" and Jinshan "the temple wraps around the mountain." The mountain also has precious "four ancients". The ancient temple (Dinghui Temple) is a building from the Ming Dynasty. The main building is green tiles and red railings, and it is very elegant. Ancient trees (cypress from the Six Dynasties, Sophora japonica from the Song Dynasty, and ginkgo from the Ming Dynasty) are mostly in the shape of Qiu. Strange and eccentric structures are scattered in front of and behind the temple along the mountainside, adding a layer of quietness, elegance, and lush green color to the mountain temple, which is perfect for tourists to rest. In addition, there are ancient inscriptions and cliff inscriptions that are world-famous. The mountain stands in the middle of the river and has been an important military location since ancient times. Han Hun, the governor of Runzhou in the Tang Dynasty and the governor of Zhenjiang, built more than 30 ships and warships and deployed more than 5,000 naval officers and soldiers to train on the river. In February of that year, after the Yuan army captured Zhenjiang, Zhang Shijie, the general of the Hang Yuan Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, led a large number of warships to fight the Yuan Dynasty navy in Jiaoshan in July of the same year. fight. Han Shizhong, the hero of the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against the Jin Dynasty, led thousands of officers and soldiers to station in Jiaoshan to fight back against the Jin soldiers. This has become a historical legend, and his heroic deeds have been passed down to future generations.
On July 16, the fourth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1519), Shi Conglan, the censor of Zhili Youdu, rebelled against King Ning of Jiangxi Province and personally led the navy in the Jianghuai area to conduct drills on the Jiaoshan River.

There are also rubbings of "It's rare to be confused" and "Suffering is a blessing" written by him in his handwriting, which made people rush to buy them. In addition, Zheng Banqiao once wrote a couplet for the old natural nunnery: "The mountain light hits the face because of the new rain, and the river turns back for the late tide." At the same time, he also wrote a couplet on the former Tanah Lot Temple: "Chu tails Wutou, and a green mountain sits in "Huainan Jiangbei, Half a Pond of Autumn Water Cooks Tea" These wonderful stories are often praised by future generations. Baishou Pavilion is located at the foot of Biefeng Temple halfway up the northwest side of Jiaoshan Mountain. The pavilion is a square pavilion made of bricks, surrounded by walls, with a row of ancient Chinese character longevity patterns inlaid with tiles between the wall head and the eaves. There are arches on the east, west and north walls, and there are two mountain roads running through it. There are four vertical stones embedded in the middle of the inner wall of the south wall, with one hundred different Shouning seal characters engraved on them. The changes are clever and original. There are three characters "Baishou Pavilion" on the banner, and four characters "Shui Yun Deep" are engraved on the north door. Now there are stone benches in the pavilion for visitors to take a rest. According to legend, the origin of this pavilion is: In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a philanthropist named Fan. He saw that the mountain road to Biefeng Nunnery at the foot of Jiao Mountain was very rugged and difficult to climb, so he donated money to build a granite mountain road directly to Biefeng Nunnery. In order to express his gratitude, the owner of the pavilion built the pavilion. This Baishou Pavilion was built to bless him. Suijiang Tower
Suijiang Tower stands at the top of the east peak of Jiaoshan Mountain. It was originally called Suijiang Pavilion, also known as Suijiang Tower. Because there are wooden Buddha statues on all sides of the pavilion, it is also called the Four-Sided Buddha Pavilion. The building is octagonal in shape, and the entire structure is made of cement imitating wood. There are spiral staircases, corridors extending in all directions, and views on all eight sides. The building has two floors. The banner on the upper floor is inscribed with the three characters "Suijiang Tower", and the banner on the bottom floor is inscribed with the four characters "Jiangshan Shenggai". Visitors can climb up to the tower and have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery north and south of the Yangtze River. The green fields in the north of the Yangtze River are vast, with criss-crossing roads stretching as far as the eye can see. The green mountains and hills in the south of the Yangtze River are endless. The view here is vast, the scenery is endless, and it makes people feel refreshed. If you go up to the tower to watch the sunrise in the early morning of summer, it has a unique flavor and has always been praised by tourists. Qi Yanhuai, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem praising: Looking east to the sea, the sea is endless, and there is a pill of fusang. I have climbed to the top of Daiyue Mountain, but the view is not as good as this tower. The water vapor reaches the sky, and the rays of light illuminate the boat on the wall. I hear the dawn bell moving in the distance, and the river is vast and thousands of eagles are flying. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Shen Bingcheng of Tonghai Road in Changzhen rebuilt the pavilion into a building and wrote "The Story of Suijiang Tower". He said in his note that during my visit to Zhenjiang, I often wanted to visit Jiaoshan Mountain with wine. Due to my busy schedule, I was unable to do so. When I had some free time this spring, I invited a few colleagues to come to Jiaoshan Mountain to overcome the thorns and climb the Rolling Rock. , circled up, walked and rested, and finally reached the four-sided Buddha pavilion on the top of the mountain. Because the surroundings were covered by trees, although the pavilion was on the top of a mountain, it could not overlook the surrounding scenery. At the same time, the pavilion was tilted and was about to collapse. Therefore, donations were made to overturn the pavilion and convert it into a building. Climbing up the building and overlooking the river, you can see the vast expanse and your horizons suddenly broaden. This building is still named "Suijiang" because the old name is not forgotten.
