Baohuashan

Jiang Nanan, at the eastern foot of Jinling, is located in Baohua Mountain, a famous Buddhist holy place, surrounded by mountains and shaped like a lotus flower. The main peak is 437.2 meters above sea level, just like a stamen, towering high in the mountains. Baohua Mountain, formerly known as Huashan Mountain, was named after the yellow flowers in midsummer. Because of the ancient names of "flower" and "Hua" in the Southern Dynasties, Bao Zhi (Jurong), a monk in the Liang Dynasty, climbed a mountain in his later years and set up an altar to give lectures and preach, making this mountain famous all over the world. After Baozhi's death, Huashan was renamed Baohua Mountain to commemorate the founder.

The zonal vegetation in Baohua Mountain is well preserved, with vascular plants 124 families, 352 genera and 529 species. Among them, Magnolia grandiflora is a unique tree species, which was a new generation three million years ago. There are wild species such as Phyllostachys pubescens, Phyllostachys pubescens and Phyllostachys pubescens, which are called "Bamboo Sea". There are abundant animal resources here, including more than 20 kinds of mammals such as jackals, wolves, roebuck and foxes, and nearly 100 kinds of birds such as thrush, starling and egret, which have high ornamental and research value. 1984, Jiangsu Province established a nature reserve here, which was later listed as a national forest park.
