Jiaoshan, surrounded by green waves, full of green mountains, like a jade floating in the river,
Jiaoshan, surrounded by green waves, full of green mountains, like a jade floating in the river, and facing the Elephant Mountain on the opposite bank, is known as 'thousands of rivers flow eastward, one island stands in the middle', known as the 'Water Park of the South of the Yangtze River', and is known as the 'Floating Jade in the River'. The mountain is 71 meters high and has a circumference of more than 2000 meters. It is named after Jiaoguang, a hermit of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The general recommended route for Jiaoshan tour is right: Dinghui Temple-Mingshan Memorial Hall-Steles Forest-Yihe Ming-Bonsai Garden-Ancient Battery-Xijiang Building-Tinglin Mountain House-Biefeng Nunnery-Wanfo Tower-Baishou Pavilion-Sanzhao Cave-Cliff Carvings-Huayan Pavilion-Jiaogong Temple, the journey can be about 2-3 hours. Since it is a revisit to the old place to recall the past, I decided to go to the cliff carvings first by walking left from Dinghui Temple. The whole area along the river at the western foot of Jiaoshan is all steep cliffs, with floating jade, plank roads, Guanyin, and Yihe Ming rocks. Among them are the inscriptions of famous people from all dynasties since the Six Dynasties. There are various calligraphy styles such as regular, cursive, official, and seal scripts. The content is rich, like a natural exhibition of ancient calligraphy, full of beautiful things. When you arrive at the Floating Jade Rock, the most eye-catching are the two vigorous and beautiful characters 'Floating Jade' written by the Song calligrapher Zhao Mengkui; the imitation ancient tower with the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the south of the Yangtze River--the Wanfo Tower is located at the top of Jiaoshan, the tower is 42 meters high, the altitude is 70.4 meters, you can climb the tower and look far away, the river and sky scenery is all in sight, the front and back doors are embedded with 'the sea does not raise waves', 'the middle stream is a pillar' Eight vigorous and powerful stone carvings (it happens to be under repair and not open to the public); at the foot of the mountain on the east side of Jiaoshan, facing the eight dark fort-style gun forts solidified with lime soil at the mouth of the Yangtze River, this is the famous Jiaoshan Anti-British Battery, an important relic of China's modern anti-British anti-imperialist struggle; the osmanthus flowers in the osmanthus garden have mostly withered, and the remaining sporadic flowers still emit strands of fragrance, and the mountain comes down and it is refreshing with the wind; compared with some famous mountains and rivers, Jiaoshan does not appear to be tall and prominent, but it has its uniqueness The place is the famous Jiaoshan Stele Forest in the south of the Yangtze River, the majestic cliff carvings and stele art, making Jiaoshan a mountain of calligraphy known at home and abroad. The stele forest treasures more than 400 steles from all dynasties, the most famous of which is the 'King of Steles', 'The Ancestor of Big Characters' called the rare stele-'Yihe Ming', it is said that the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wrote a inscription to commemorate the death of the pet crane, originally carved on the stone wall of the west mountain of Jiaoshan, and later fell into the river due to collapse, what we see now is the rubbings of later generations; 'Jiaoshan autumn is strong, the red and yellow leaves are different', it is deep autumn, the ginkgo trees in the stele forest are just fluttering with the wind, slowly falling between the black tiles and green bamboo, covering the ground with apricot yellow, adding a layer of quiet and elegant color to the green and lush Jiaoshan.
Don't miss Dinghui Temple, let's appreciate this golden autumn together!

The little white lion of Nantong Forest Wildlife Zoo
The white lion, also known as the 'albino African lion', is a variant of the Kruger lion, native to Africa. The white lion was first discovered in South Africa in the last century, and the number of white lions in the world is less than 100.
The variant of the Kruger lion, native to Africa. The white lion was first discovered in South Africa in the last century. As of 2009, there were only about 130 white lions in the world. Some of the white lions in China are the offspring of white lions and ordinary lions, and their fur is not pure white, but mixed with yellow.
Like the white tiger, golden tiger, and snow tiger, only the Kruger lion in the African lion will have white lions, and only the Bengal tiger in the tiger will have white tigers, golden tigers, and snow tigers.
White lions are not animals with albinism, their eyes are generally light blue. Some scientists have suggested that white lions may be an ancient breed that lived in colder, snow-covered wild environments such as the Arctic. The white color was a protective color that was beneficial to the living environment at that time. After biological evolution, this species gradually disappeared, but the gene for white fur still exists in a few yellow African lions today. Therefore, the parents of the white lion cubs first discovered in South Africa were ordinary yellow-haired African lions. After artificial breeding, the current white lion family was formed. But in the wild in South Africa, there are still occasional reports of yellow lions giving birth to white lion cubs. It can be seen that the white lion is the result of the genetic mutation of the African lion, but the cause of the mutation is not yet clear. Because their fur color is more conspicuous in the wild environment, their concealment is poor, which leads to a low success rate of predation and difficult survival. Although there are also reports about black lions, there is no evidence.
Similarities and differences between white lions and common African lions
Similarities: Because they are the offspring of the genetic mutation of the African lion, their living habits are basically the same; the size of the individual and the degree of development are consistent; the male lion will grow long mane after maturity, while the female lion does not; there is no obvious difference in call.
Differences: The first is the difference in fur color. The fur color of the white lion is white without other mixed colors. The fur color of the African lion is mostly brown-yellow and earth-yellow, and the mane of the adult male lion is mixed with black. The second is the difference in eye color. The eye color of the white lion is mostly light blue, and the eye color of the African lion is mostly yellow. Finally, the color of the nose, the nose of the white lion is light pink, and the nose of the African lion is dark flesh.

The severely underestimated city in Jiangsu: Nantong
Nantong can be said to be a severely underestimated city in Jiangsu.
Here, there is a mountain, a river, a person, and a city.
This time we didn't go to that mountain, but we experienced the people and the city by the water.
The scenery on both sides of the Hao River is endless. Although it is not as elegant as the gardens in Suzhou on the opposite bank, it is not lacking in charm.
The Hao River in Nantong is one of the most well-preserved ancient moats in China. It is recorded in the history that in the fifth year of Xian De of the Later Zhou Dynasty (AD 958), the five pavilions of 'Long Rainbow, Moon Viewing, Fish Joy, Hao Pu, and Xun Wind' floated on the blue waves, dreamlike.
Located on the bank of the Hao River is the first public museum independently established by the Chinese, the first batch of national first-class museums, and the national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, founded by Zhang Jian, a pioneer of early modernization in China and a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty.
The museum has long-term exhibitions on Mr. Zhang Jian's integrity thought, and currently there is a Nantong furniture making skills exhibition on display.
In addition to this, I am more interested in the Jianghai Cetacean Biological Resources Special Exhibition Hall. There is a lot of knowledge and specimens about whales, which is very interesting and good for taking pictures.
The exterior of the museum is like a small park, with many locals relaxing and strolling here every day.
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday (closed on Monday)
Address: No. 19, Haonan Road, Chongchuan District, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province.
Nearby, there are also very characteristic theme museums such as the Blue Calico Museum, the Audit Museum, and the Abacus Museum, especially worth mentioning is Zhang Jian's former residence, which is very characteristic. Hao River Scenic Area

Southern and Northern Dynasties: Hai'an County was added
Sui: All county-level constructions were abolished
Tang: Hai'an County belongs to Yangzhou, Rugao County belongs to Taizhou
Later Zhou: Set up Jinghai Army, promoted to Tongzhou, led Jinghai County and Haimen County, belonged to Yangzhou
Song: Changed Tongzhou to Chongzhou, and then renamed Tongzhou
Yuan: Promoted Tongzhou to Tongzhou Road
Ming: Abolished Jinghai County, Tongzhou directly ruled Jinghai, led Haimen County
Qing: Tongzhou was promoted to a directly ruled state, leading Taixing County and Rugao County, belonging to Jiangsu Governor
Today's Nantong City governs Chongchuan District, Tongzhou District, Haimen District, Rudong County, Qidong City, Rugao City, and Hai'an City.
'One mountain, one water, one person': Wolf Mountain, Hao River, Zhang Jian
Zhang Jian: At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the champion, abandoned official business, and Zhang Jian, who saved the country with industry, used foreign technology management and national capital to promote the industrial, agricultural and financial development of Nantong, and then used the income from industry to run education, repair water conservancy and build municipal administration, realizing the urban modernization of Nantong.
Nantong is a model of modern national industrial development and urban construction, known as the 'first city of modern times'. It is different from the concession cities and port cities built by foreign capital in modern times, or the cities built by bureaucratic capital based on national defense construction needs.
Nantong was lucky to avoid the wars of modern times, the layout of the ancient city, the moat (Hao River), the inner city, the factories, buildings, private gardens, schools, etc. a hundred years ago have been preserved.
Hao River: The moat of the ancient city, feels like Yangzhou, the river side gathers modern industry and architecture, and it is like various port cities. The connected building form of the bell tower in the city is also unique to the innovation of national capital. Walking in the inner city, parks, buildings, waterways, bridges from a hundred years ago can be seen everywhere. Among them, Nantong Museum is based on the museum opened by Zhang Jian a hundred years ago and his own private residence and garden. The garden is simple, elegant, and quiet. I have never seen similar ones in other places, I super like it...
Wolf Mountain: You can overlook the mouth of the Yangtze River. It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a small hillside. For more than two thousand years, the impact of the Yangtze River has allowed Nantong's territory to accumulate from the sea and river surface, connecting the sandbars with the inland. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the land collapsed, Haimen County sank to the bottom of the river, and then rose again, until today's geographical conditions...
It is said on the Internet that Nantong is the last and unique in Jiangsu tourism, I dare not agree.

Southern and Northern Dynasties: Hai'an County was added
Sui: All county-level constructions were abolished
Tang: Hai'an County belongs to Yangzhou, Rugao County belongs to Taizhou
Later Zhou: Set up Jinghai Army, promoted to Tongzhou, led Jinghai County and Haimen County, belonged to Yangzhou
Song: Changed Tongzhou to Chongzhou, and then renamed Tongzhou
Yuan: Promoted Tongzhou to Tongzhou Road
Ming: Abolished Jinghai County, Tongzhou directly ruled Jinghai, led Haimen County
Qing: Tongzhou was promoted to a directly ruled state, leading Taixing County and Rugao County, belonging to Jiangsu Governor
Today's Nantong City governs Chongchuan District, Tongzhou District, Haimen District, Rudong County, Qidong City, Rugao City, and Hai'an City.
'One mountain, one water, one person': Wolf Mountain, Hao River, Zhang Jian
Zhang Jian: At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the champion, abandoned official business, and Zhang Jian, who saved the country with industry, used foreign technology management and national capital to promote the industrial, agricultural and financial development of Nantong, and then used the income from industry to run education, repair water conservancy and build municipal administration, realizing the urban modernization of Nantong.
Nantong is a model of modern national industrial development and urban construction, known as the 'first city of modern times'. It is different from the concession cities and port cities built by foreign capital in modern times, or the cities built by bureaucratic capital based on national defense construction needs.
Nantong was lucky to avoid the wars of modern times, the layout of the ancient city, the moat (Hao River), the inner city, the factories, buildings, private gardens, schools, etc. a hundred years ago have been preserved.
Hao River: The moat of the ancient city, feels like Yangzhou, the river side gathers modern industry and architecture, and it is like various port cities. The connected building form of the bell tower in the city is also unique to the innovation of national capital. Walking in the inner city, parks, buildings, waterways, bridges from a hundred years ago can be seen everywhere. Among them, Nantong Museum is based on the museum opened by Zhang Jian a hundred years ago and his own private residence and garden. The garden is simple, elegant, and quiet. I have never seen similar ones in other places, I super like it...
Wolf Mountain: You can overlook the mouth of the Yangtze River. It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a small hillside. For more than two thousand years, the impact of the Yangtze River has allowed Nantong's territory to accumulate from the sea and river surface, connecting the sandbars with the inland. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the land collapsed, Haimen County sank to the bottom of the river, and then rose again, until today's geographical conditions...
It is said on the Internet that Nantong is the last and unique in Jiangsu tourism, I dare not agree.
Nantong Tourism
Museum | Nantong can also take pictures of autumn phoenix trees! Attached photo guide
📍Nantong Museum
It is the first public museum independently established by Chinese people, located at No. 19 Haonan Road, Chongchuan District, a good place to walk around and sunbathe on weekends!
🕐Opening hours
Open from 05:30-17:00 (stop admission at 16:30)
📷Photography
Share a few places in the museum that are suitable for autumn photography
1️⃣Walk straight in from the south gate, and you can come to an open space (P2) with stone benches. You can sit on the bench and take pictures, leaning against the phoenix tree, and the fallen leaves on the ground are also suitable as props. Recommended time☀️Around 2:30, the sun is just right, the light is softer, remember to bring a reflector!
2️⃣Walk straight to the right after entering the door, you will see a large phoenix tree, with a pond in front! (P3) You can stand on the steps under the phoenix tree to shoot, the light here☀️Around 3:30 is gone, you can shoot earlier! Because the sun sets too early
3️⃣After shooting the 2nd venue, you can go to the phoenix tree road next to the pond and lawn to continue shooting, (see P4.5) you can shoot the panorama, and take the phoenix tree together, the overall atmosphere is full
4️⃣Around 4 o'clock the sun is setting, from the phoenix tree facing the pond, walk to the left of the pond (P6.7.8.9) The light here is just right, you can use the backlight to use the reflector or flash to take pictures, it's very photogenic here!
🧣Dress
You can wear some Mira color series/light-colored sweaters/warm-colored clothes, or match with a half-length skirt. I personally think that light-colored clothes will be more photogenic and eye-catching!
📗Photography props
💡Reflector When shooting some side backlights and backlights, the face will be darker, and the reflector can supplement the light well
📒Book/notebook You can shoot holding a book, flipping some actions and poses, more literary
🎧Headphones Whether it's a headset or a wired headset, it feels very good
🧣Scarf Some good-looking scarves can also add atmosphere
🍁The fallen leaves everywhere on the ground are free props, be sure to use them!
⚠️In autumn and winter, try to go out early in the afternoon to take pictures, the light really disappears in a flash, too fast! The weather in Nantong has been very good these days, and the phoenix trees are about to fall, so hurry up if you want to take pictures!
The basic display of Nantong Museum is not based on historical order, and it does not emphasize character events. Instead, it reorganizes and combines various cultural relics to reflect the production and living conditions of predecessors under the times and geographical changes.
Continue to go forward, Wenhua Yiyun unit divides etiquette and religion, literature and art, city life and other small topics, the exhibits seem to be normal, but in fact carefully selected, the pieces are strong Native colors.
The Ming and Qing Dynasties famous doctor Chen Shigong's blue and white porcelain , the Qing Dynasty famous painter Li Fangzhen's literary genre, the Qing dynasty champion Hu Changling, the Qing dynasty's second eye Wang Guangyin and the third plaque, Yinxiang furnace, Chengyin mud... ... are included in the topic of the literary arts.
The beautifully drawn Tongzhou 36-line map is a vivid portrayal of the life of the city in the late Qing Dynasty. There are also three-inch golden lotus, drum-shaped tin flower tin powder box, magpie invitation, red satin dress, etc. Presenting the original wedding customs of Nantong.
Before going out of the exhibition hall, I saw a Japanese old-fashioned textile machine, which is said to be still operational now. Machines like Japan have not been retained, so they once wanted to buy this machine back, huh, huh! We certainly won't sell it!
In addition, don't miss the Wenchuang souvenir counter of the Museum before leaving. It looks good, it is really a conscience price, and some discounts. I think the tapes in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan are sold 60, sold here. Its too conscience, every time I want the rhythm, I bought a few, here is not the picture, anyway, look good, let you leave some thoughts.
