What travelers say:

Zijin Mountain is nicknamed Zhongshan, anciently known as Jinling Mountain, Jiangshan, Beishan, Shenlie Mountain, Shengyou Mountain, belonging to the middle branch of the western section of the Ningzhen Mountains, located in the eastern suburbs of Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, with coordinates of 118°48'00"-118°53'04" east longitude, 32°01'57"-32°06'15", The maximum length of the Zijin Mountain is 7 kilometers, the widest part of the north and south is about 3 kilometers, and the plane is an equilateral triangle facing north at the tip, covering an area of about 20 square kilometers. The main peak of Zijin Mountain is the north peak (Toutuling), and the altitude is 448 meters. The Ningzhen Mountains are an arc-shaped fold formed by the movement of Ningzhen in the eastern Yangtze ancient land from the end of the Jurassic to the beginning of the Cretaceous. Zijin Mountain is located at the western end of this fold. During the Jurassic period, the Zijin Mountain area was originally a big river, and it was late Mesozoic. Because of orogeny, the rock formations in the Zijin Mountain area are affected by horizontal direction and pressure, resulting in strong uplift and fracture. The horizontal rock formations that were previously tilted from north to south, so Zijin Mountain stands from the ground, so Zijin Mountain is formed because of crustal motion.
