Explore the Chinese Textbook: Two Unique Mountains in Jiujiang
In addition to Mount Lu, there are two other magical mountains to visit in Jiujiang: Shizhong Mountain and Xie Mountain. Shizhong Mountain is known for its loud sounds, while Xie Mountain has a unique appearance.
⛰️ Shizhong Mountain: A Journey Through Time
Su Shi once visited this place and was fascinated by the bell-like sounds from the stone mountain. He returned to investigate and wrote "Shizhong Mountain Record." Seven of the Eight Great Prose Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties visited Shizhong Mountain, leaving behind valuable poems, inscriptions, and couplets.
Shizhong Mountain is small but features exquisite gardens and elegant ancient architecture. Stroll along the winding paths, feel the autumn atmosphere, and take time to appreciate the cultural relics. Zhaozhong Temple was built to commemorate soldiers who died in the Taiping Rebellion. Legend has it that Hero Stone was left behind after a battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang.
Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the confluence of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River, where the clear river water meets the green lake water, creating a spectacular sight.
⛰️ Xie Mountain: A Shoe-Shaped Mountain
The name is unforgettable, and aerial views reveal its resemblance to a giant shoe floating in Poyang Lake. The mountain features a pagoda. Take a boat to the mountain and experience its magical natural wonders. Legend has it that this was a strategic location in ancient times, with many historical relics and legends.
Shizhongshan Martyrs' Shrine
Originally named Zhaozhong Shrine, it was built in the eighth year of the Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1858) by the decree of Emperor Xianfeng, upon the request of Zeng Guofan and Peng Yulin, to honor the naval officers and soldiers who died in battle. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was renamed Martyrs' Shrine. The shrine is divided into the front hall and the rear hall. The front hall is dedicated to the officers who died in battle, while the rear hall is dedicated to the naval soldiers of the Chu army who died in battle. In front of the shrine, there are two majestic stone lions.
