The number one landscape under heaven

Where to gaze upon the divine land, the view from Beigu Tower fills the eyes - Xin Qiji's 'Nanxiangzi. Where to Gaze upon the Divine Land' Beigu Tower is one of the three hills of Zhenjiang, and you have to start climbing as soon as you enter the gate, but fortunately, the hill is not high. There is an iron pagoda here, one of the six remaining iron pagodas in the country. It was originally a stone pagoda that was destroyed, and in the Yuanfeng era of the Northern Song Dynasty (1078), it was recast as an iron pagoda. During the renovation in 1960, a crypt was discovered under the pagoda base, and 2567 cultural relics were unearthed, including a golden coffin, a silver outer coffin, and the Buddha's relics. Beigu Mountain also has the Ganlu Temple, but this Ganlu Temple is not the one from 'The Legend of Zhen Huan' . There are many new buildings on Beigu Mountain, and I think it's more about leisure than 'chasing history.' If it's free for residents, it's a good choice to climb the mountain and exercise regularly . The vegetation here is rich, and the colors are still beautiful in winter. It must be even more gorgeous and colorful in autumn. Beigu Mountain is located within the city, and it is convenient to get there by bus, taxi, bicycle, and there is also a parking lot.
