Moganshan Tashan

Moganshan Tashan

Moganshan Tashan is a cultural tourism attraction.

Tashan is the highest peak of Moganshan, with an elevation of 718.9 meters. A pagoda was built here during the second year of the Tianfu era in the Later Jin Dynasty of the Five Dynasties period (937 AD), hence the name "Tashan" (Pagoda Mountain), though the pagoda has long since collapsed. The summit of Tashan is flat, surrounded by lush green slopes that offer cool relief even in the height of summer. From the top, you can see peaks lined up as if bowing in greeting, Taihu Lake lying mirror-flat, with green-shelled islets emerging from the water’s surface like scattered patterns, all clearly visible. The Grand Canal stretches like a ribbon, Tianmu Mountain stands like a screen, and the Qiantang River winds around the southeast before flowing into the sea.
