First, the origin of General Mountain
Jiangjun Mountain, located at the junction of Yuhuatai and Jiangning in Nanjing, is close to Niushou Mountain. In ancient times, it was called Guanyin Mountain. Later, 800 years ago, Yue Fei, a famous Southern Song Dynasty star, built a barrier here, defeated Jin Jun and recovered Jiankang City in one fell swoop, hence the name General Mountain.
Second, related stories
There are also some antique buildings on the water surface, so that more people can understand the history of General Mountain and feel the humanistic atmosphere of General Mountain. Many people don't know that there was a war here 800 years ago, that is, Niutou Mountain was a great victory, and the ancient battlefield was in Jiangjun Mountain. It was built to commemorate Yue Fei, a famous soldier in the Southern Song Dynasty, and let future generations remember it. Being in the temple is like Yue Fei and his soldiers fighting bravely against the enemy in the war. There is a unique stone pagoda next to Wang Yue Temple. General tower? This is a six-sided stone pagoda that imitates the classic architecture of the Song Dynasty. It is shaped like a sword that goes straight into the sky. There are reliefs of generals such as Yue Fei, Yue Yun and Niu Hao on the pagoda. The General Tower is located at the top of the mountain. Standing here is a good place to overlook the panoramic view of General Mountain, which allows you to have a panoramic view of General Mountain.
Third, the beauty of General Mountain
In addition to the clear green lake, you can also see a lush Metasequoia forest when you go deep. The Metasequoia glyptostroboides forest in the water is very high and blocks the sun. Being in it is like walking into a forest kingdom, full of lush eyes and very eye-catching. There is a pool plank road in this Metasequoia forest. What is it called? Nanjing Jiuzhaigou? As the most representative scenic spot of Jiangjun Mountain, the plank road winds into the depths of Metasequoia glyptostroboides forest. Walking on the plank road, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of you, there is a feeling of exploring the secret. In fact, there are many Metasequoia forest landscapes in Nanjing, such as the entrance of Xuanwu Lake, Zhongshan Botanical Garden and Meihua Mountain, but such dense forests as Jiangjun Mountain are rare. Metasequoia glyptostroboides is beautiful all year round, with green forests in spring and summer and golden in autumn and winter.
General Mountain has a long history and beautiful scenery, but few people know it. It takes time for the public to accept the boldness and grandeur of General Mountain. With the development of the times and the progress of the internet, I believe that General Mountain will be known by more tourists and let it get rid of the forgotten situation.
