About Jiaoshan

Jiaoshan is a hill in the city of Zhenjiang in south-western Jiangsu, rising 71 metres above sea level beside the Yangtze River, and is a National AAAA-designated tourism area. It takes its name from Jiao Guang, who lived in the area in the 3rd century in the final years of the Han dynasty. The Buddhist Dinghui Temple, also known as Shanguo Temple, stands on the hill. Jiaoshan is also home to more than four hundred ancient stone stele tablets, known as the Baomo Xuan and the Jiaoshan Beilin; among them is the Yihe Ming, attributed to the calligrapher Wang Xizhi. The steles are a Major National Historical and Cultural Site.
