Strolling through Zhenjiang Jiaoshan Scenic Area to enjoy nature and peaceful life

Jiaoshan Scenic Area 👍Recommended Reasons - Located in the middle of the Yangtze River, Jiaoshan Scenic Area is surrounded by water on all sides, resembling a "floating jade in the river," offering unique natural scenery. - It boasts profound historical and cultural heritage, with numerous ancient sites such as Dinghui Temple, the Forest of Steles, and cliff carvings, witnessing the passage of time. - Visitors can experience the joy of crossing the river by boat, watch the sunrise at Xijiang Tower, and enjoy panoramic views of the Yangtze River and Zhenjiang city from Wanfo Pagoda, feeling the grandeur of nature. Detailed Address Dongwu Road, Jingkou District, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province. Ticket Prices Single scenic area ticket: 50 yuan in the off-season, 65 yuan in the peak season. It is recommended to purchase the 95-yuan "Three Hills and One Ferry" 24-hour pass, which includes access to Jinshan, Beigushan, Jiaoshan, and Xijindu. 📅Travel Tips - Cultural Route (approx. 2.5 hours): Dinghui Temple → Forest of Steles (view the remnants of the "Yanhe Ming" stele) → Cliff Carvings → Ancient Fort → Xijiang Tower → Wanfo Pagoda (climb to the top for a view of the Yangtze River) → Sanzhao Cave loop descent. - Relaxed Route (approx. 1.5 hours): Enter from the East Gate → Tingzhushanfang → Biefeng Nunnery → Baishou Pavilion → Jiaogong Memorial Garden → Return by boat from Dinghui Temple. 🍜Food Guide - Inside the scenic area: Must-try is the vegetarian "Jiaogong Noodles" at Dinghui Temple, paired with Jiaoshan Cloud Mist Tea for a unique flavor. - Nearby: "Jiangxian Renjia" outside the East Gate offers river delicacies like pufferfish white soup and Jiaoshan pot-cover noodles; "Jiangyue Lou" on Dongwu Road Food Street is worth a try for its Jiaoshan catfish soup and crab roe soup dumplings. 🏨Accommodation Guide - Luxury: Zhenjiang Zhaohe Crowne Plaza Hotel, with luxurious facilities and beautiful views of the Yangtze River, conveniently located near Jiaoshan. - Budget: Chain hotels like Hanting Hotel and 7 Days Inn offer affordable prices and high value, located in the city center with convenient transportation to Jiaoshan. 💗Other Tips - Wanfo Pagoda may be temporarily closed for maintenance; check the scenic area announcements before visiting. - Wear anti-slip shoes as the cliff carvings area can be slippery with moss. - Bring some cat snacks; there are many friendly stray cats along the path from Dinghui Temple to the Forest of Steles. - The last boat departs at 16:30; if missed, you can walk out of the scenic area from the East Gate.

The weather in Zhenjiang was beautiful in May. The high-speed train from Nanjing South Station to Zhenjiang Station only took 20 minutes. We landed at Zhenjiang Station around 9:00 AM. We rode Hellobikes all the way to Jingji Road, where we went shopping and had breakfast. Then we rode to Jinshan Scenic Area. The temple and the Giant Buddha are quite majestic. If you're visiting during a long weekend, the crowds can be quite large, so just entering can take almost half an hour, and the entire tour took about two hours. There were performances along the way, and some areas were closed for renovations. We had lunch at Xijindu, where we enjoyed the famous pot-covered noodles, a side of braised pork, and the must-try Yangda yogurt. In the afternoon, we continued our bike ride to Beigushan Mountain. Compared to Jinshan Mountain, Beigushan is smaller and takes about an hour to explore. We then rode to the Yong'an Road Vegetable Market, famous for its pork belly, where we could buy some food. It was around 4:00 PM when we returned to Zhenjiang Station and took the high-speed train back home. Due to time constraints, I only had one day to explore, but a two-day trip would have been more effective. Near Xijindu, there's the Zhenjiang Museum, and the more distant Jiaoshan and Mengxi Garden near the Lucai Market are both possible the next day. There are also many options for morning tea. Zhenjiang, with its rich history, is a great place to visit. The advantage is that each attraction is within easy reach and can be easily reached by bicycle. The only drawback is that parking can be difficult due to the crowds. If you're renting a car or driving, be aware that there's often no parking available, so take public transportation whenever possible.
