Top places to visit

1. 4.5 Lao-Tse Statue (5 reviews)
   - Lovely statue of Lao Tze at Maoshan Mountains
   Thursday: 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM Monuments & Statues
   
   
   We visited the statue which is located within the Maoshan mountain area. Shuttle vans bring visitors from the main entrance to this location and there is good photo opportunity of the statue and a slight claim up. Lao Tze is the philosopher who wrote the book on Tao and these mountains which are the holy mountains of Taoism have a 2500 history. There are temples for prayers and making wishes around the area, most famous of which is the temple at the top of the mountain called Juxiao Wanfu Gong temple. Nice views at this temple including an aerial view of the mountains and of the Lao Tzu statue from afar. See more..
   
2. 4.0 Zhenjiang Mt. Maoshan Resort (31 reviews)
   - Mountains with good Feng shui
   Thursday: 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM Mountains
   
   
   We heard about these mountains from a Feng Shui consultant who says that these mountains have good Feng Shui. Since we were in Nanjing, we decided to make the trip to visit these mountains. We took as taxi from Nanjing to Maoshan - 1.5 hours drive. These mountains have a 2500 year history and is considered as the mountains where Taoism flourished in the old days. There an element of the black arts here in the past. Today there are temple complexes for visiting and prayers. From the main entrance, you can buy tickets for the visit and also book a guide - highly recommended although I don't think they have any English speaking guides. There will be shuffle vans taking visitors to various parts of the mountain notably the more famous ones being the Lao Tze Holden statue and the highest peak with a temple meant for prayers. It is said that the mountains represent a dragon with the highest peak where there is a temple for prayers and the dragon body ends where the Lao Tze statue is located. Not many foreign tourists visit this place. It is only somewhat interesting for someone who values Taoism and understands the history of it or wants to do a pilgrimage to the holy mountain of Taoism. Through the assistance of the guide, we bought some temple papers for burning and hope our wishes do come true ! See more..
   
3. 3.5 Maoshan Mountain New Fourth Army Memorial Hall (11 reviews)
   - Really interesting New China site
   Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM History Museums
   
   
   I’m prompted to write this review as I don’t see any other English language reviews. If you’re in Zhenjiang area or perhaps visiting Maoshan to see the Taoist temple on Maoshan, don’t forget to also visit the museum for the N4A, New Fourth Army of the 1937 period of Sino Japanese war. The museum has a wealth of pictures and histories, mostly in Chinese, but enough in English to still keep up with the story of the founding of the N4A. It takes about 30 minutes to tour the museum and then walk to the nearby memorial of the martyrs which is about 200 meters towards the base of Maoshan. You won’t miss it as it’s pretty big. If you happen to time your visit when they set off fireworks at the memorial, you will experience the odd audio sensation of the echo created by the steps of the memorial. Which sounds like a bugler making a short bugle call. Very interesting and of course there’s a local legend as well as a 16 year of N4A bugler from Maoshan was killed fighting the Japanese in the woods behind the memorial. See more..
   
4. 3.5 Baohua Mountain (6 reviews)
   - 宝华山上有隆昌寺，号称“律宗第一名山”
   Thursday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Mountains
   
   
   宝华山，因盛夏季节黄花满山而得名，其周围36座山峰，恰似36片莲花瓣，而隆昌寺就如一个巨大的莲花一般，端坐其中。隆昌寺是佛教律宗祖庭，有“律宗第一名山”之称。隆昌寺隐藏在宝华山国家森林公园的深处，门票50元。在我们住宿的费用中，已经包含了门票在内，直接进~自驾车辆不让进山，要停在4公里外山脚下的古村。然后换乘景区提供的交通车辆抵达山间的隆昌寺。喜欢徒步越野的游客，也可以步行上山，边走边看风景。 See more..
   
5. 3.0 ZhongGuo ShenNiu HongMu YiShuGuan (1 review)
   - 中国の伝統文化の一角を鑑賞
   Speciality Museums
   中国の伝統文化の一角が鑑賞できる美術館である。なぜなら、古代王朝から黒檀、紫檀などの濃色木材を好んで龍、鳳凰を権力の象徴を彫刻して飾ってきたため、民間にはそれらを真似した高級美術品の収蔵の価値がますます高くなり、原材料のみでさえ金並の値段がつけられた銘木なので、それらの彫刻品はなおさら手の届かない価格がつけられている。 See more..

   - 我是道地的吃貨, 但是此地的美食, 真的只能湊數而已
   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   吃貨們對美食應該都有共同要求的特點, 例如: 食材的原味, 調味的細膩度, 烹調的精準度, 甜而不膩, 香辣而不刺辣, 麻辣而回味無窮, 鹹香而不拗口, 當然了, 還有物超所值or價廉而物美, 就算要求其次, 也應該要物有所值吧!! 但是此地的美食街, 除了因為是重點觀光區, 價格出奇的高, 除了貴之外還是貴, 就算貴, 至少讓我吃到美味吧? 但是又沒有任何特殊之處, 最後只能安慰自己, 吃了肚子不餓就好, 呵呵!! See more..
