How about Langshan Scenic Spot in Nantong? Is it worth going?

Nantong Langshan Scenic Area is a provincial-level scenic spot in Jiangsu Province and a national AAAA-level scenic spot. It is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, six kilometers south of Nantong. It consists of five mountains: Junshan, Jianshan, Langshan, Maanshan and Huangni. It has beautiful scenery and unique environment, which is well worth visiting.

In the second year of Tang Dynasty (AD 669), a Buddhist temple was established in Langshan, and the Ursa Major Hall was built first. At that time, there were records about the "Peak Pagoda", which indicated that the pagoda had been built at the top of Langshan Mountain, and the pattern of Langshan Temple had been initially laid as early as the early Tang Dynasty.

History, 6.5438+0 million years earlier than the Himalayas. 7500 years ago, Langshan was an island in the vast sea.

Before 2000, a large amount of sediment in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River gradually accumulated in the present Nantong area, making most of Nantong a piece of sandbar with complementary estuary and seaside.

These five mountains are low mountains on the jianghai plain. From west to east: Huangni Mountain, 29.3 meters high; Maanshan, 49.4 meters high; Langshan, height104.8m; Jianshan, 80. 5 meters high; Junshan, elevation108.5m. The stratum is relatively simple, partially exposed, mainly composed of Devonian clastic rocks, with a small amount of Pleistocene Xia Shu loess.

This mountain is located in the paraxial part of Paleozoic anticline structure. In the later period, many groups of fault structures formed monoclinal fault block mountains or incomplete synclinal fault block mountains, and the mountains generally showed northwest trend. The terrain around Wushan is low and flat, 2-4 meters above sea level, slightly inclined to the Yangtze River except for the dike. Due to the rise and fall of the sea surface, crustal movement and the action of the Yangtze River, the surrounding areas repeatedly changed from land to sea, and it was not until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty that all of them became land.
