About Zhenjiang Jinshan-Jiaoshan-Beigushan Tourism Area

Three historic hills on the Yangtze at Zhenjiang, each crowned with ancient temples — Jinshan, famed in the White Snake legend, Jiaoshan, an island reached by ferry, and Beigushan, overlooking the river.

Highlights

Jinshan ('temple-wrapping hill', White Snake legend), Jiaoshan ('hill-wrapping temple' with famous stele forest, reached by ferry) and Beigushan with Ganlu Temple overlooking the Yangtze.

Suggested Route

Classic 'three hills + Xijin Ferry' day: Jinshan - Beigushan - lunch - Jiaoshan - evening Xijin Ferry; each hill needs 1.5-2 hours.

Food & Lodging

Eat Zhenjiang pot-cover noodles with crystal pork, vinegar and crab-bun; stay near Xijin Ferry or the riverside.

Facilities

Parking, restrooms, stroller rental and WiFi at each hill; Jiaoshan requires a ferry (last crossing about 16:30); some slopes and steps limit wheelchair access.
