Jiashan Park
  Jiashan was originally called Jiashan (Home Mountain), located east of Yushan Lake, standing over a hundred meters tall and facing Yushan from afar. Legend has it that it is the incarnation of Jialang, while Yushan is his sister. This young couple dared to defy feudal traditions, fell in love against their parents' wishes, and tragically met their deaths. Their deep love moved heaven and earth so much that the gods turned them into two mountains. It is said that the lake between the two mountains was formed from their tears.

  There used to be a temple on the mountain peak, which was burned down by the Japanese during the War of Resistance. Later, a benefactor from Nanjing raised funds to build a “Baiyun Nunnery” on the original site, which was demolished in 1958.

  Jiashan remains lush and green all year round, covered with dense pine trees, and there are more than ten paths leading to the summit. On both sides of the mountaintop are scenic viewpoints, where visitors can watch the sunrise or enjoy a panoramic view of the city. Every morning, climbers come in an endless stream, and their laughter wakes up the sleeping mountain.

  Transportation

  Located east of Yushan Park, accessible by Bus No. 14 and No. 28.
