If you want to live a long life, go to Nanshan.

There is a saying in Zhenjiang: If you want to live a long life, go to Nanshan Mountain and live as long as Nanshan Mountain. Nanshan is located in the urban area of ​​Zhenjiang and is known as the "urban forest". The whole mountain is full of towering ancient trees, secluded stone paths, gurgling mountain springs, and chirping birds. There is no one in the empty mountain. Walking on the quiet stone steps, there are dense trees all around, big and small, tall and short, some reaching straight into the sky, some slanting out sideways, growing freely. It is autumn and winter, and the steps are covered with fallen leaves, which are colorful. A few good friends sitting in the wild, watching the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves, casting spots of light and shadows, listening to the rustling in the bushes, and looking for the traces of birds and insects, is really relaxing and happy, forgetting all the honors and disgraces! Listen to the orioles in front of Zhaoyin Temple, read scriptures on the reading platform, and watch the water under Rushi Pavilion. Nanshan has the freedom of plants and trees, as well as cultural allusions. While wandering in the mountains and forests, you can also feel the ancient feelings. Isn’t that wonderful? After visiting Nanshan, you can take the bus or ride a bike to Xijindu Old Street to stroll around and feel the sublimation of historical monuments in the hustle and bustle of the city. There is Suan Mountain nearby and the remains of a small pier from the Qing Dynasty. If you want to take a break, going to a pot-covered noodle shop is a good choice. There, watching the lid of the noodle pot boiling, tasting the braised meat that is not a dish and the vinegar that will never go bad, all my tiredness will disappear. You can enjoy delicious food and observe interesting customs at the same time, killing two birds with one stone. Of course, if you have plenty of time, you can take a walk along Jinshan Lake opposite Xijindu. As the sun sets and the water ripples, you can see the Beigu Pavilion on Beigu Mountain standing by the water in the distance. Do you think of the scene when Xin Qiji stood on the Beigu Pavilion, watching the rolling Yangtze River and commemorating Sun Zhongmou?
