Mogan Mountain Tashan

　　Tashan is the highest peak of Mogan Mountain, with an elevation of 718.9 meters. A pagoda was constructed here during the second year of the Tianfu era in the Later Jin Dynasty of the Five Dynasties period (937 AD), which is why it was named Tashan (Pagoda Mountain). Though the pagoda has long since collapsed, the mountaintop remains flat, surrounded by lush green slopes. Even in the height of summer, the heat is absent. From the summit, one can gaze out at a sweeping panorama: peaks stand in orderly rows, bowing as if in salute; Lake Taihu lies mirror-flat, with its mountainous islands dotting the surface like emerald snails, each clearly visible. The Grand Canal stretches like a ribbon, Tianmu Mountain rises like a screen, and the Qiantang River winds its way past the mountain’s southeast before flowing into the sea.
