Huangnishan

　　    Introduction

　　    The Lion Perch Pavilion is built on Donggang and is a great spot to watch the sunrise and listen to the sound of the waves.

　　    Longzhua Rock is located at the westernmost part of Huangnishan, mostly submerged in the river. Its rugged, dark brown, and uneven ridge stones resemble a dragon’s claw reaching into the river, hence the name. A wind-powered navigation beacon light—the first of its kind in China—has also been installed on the rock.

　　    The Memorial Pagoda for Monk Jianzhen’s Perilous Eastward Voyage during the Tang Dynasty is situated at Longzhua Rock on Huangnishan. The 7.6-meter-high pagoda stands by the Yangtze River, with the river flowing around it and surging waves crashing against the shore. The vast sky and river create an extraordinary atmosphere. This pagoda was completed on the 1310th anniversary of the eminent monk’s birth, in his honor.
