Eighteen scenic spots in Nansha, Xiangshan tourist scenic spot

Nansha Township near Zhangjiagang Port was known as the "Eight Scenery of Xiangshan" as early as the Ming Dynasty because of its many mountains and scenic spots. After Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Gaozong Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, ten scenic spots were added one after another, which were called "Eighteen Scenes of Nansha".

There used to be a plum blossom hall here. Crossing the mountains and mountains from Xiangshan Bay is the "fragrant road". The ancient road of Cai Xiang starts from the northwest slope of Xiangshan and ends at the southeast foot. It's about five miles long. According to legend, this is the place where Fu Cha, the king of Wu, played with his family and his concubines in the Spring and Autumn Period, and built the "Cai Xiang Temple" as his palace. At present, the lower section of Cai Xiang Ancient Road has been cut off by quarrying, and the upper section is still there. The mountains are shaded by trees and the scenery is pleasant.

Xiangshan is divided into big Xiangshan and small Xiangshan. At the junction of the two mountains, it is as steep as a cliff, forming a stone gate. Because it looks like a tiger guarding the pass from a distance, it is called "Shihumen". It is surrounded by mountains. At first, the two mountains were connected. Later, due to military needs, the government ordered the people to cut the mountain for more than 50 meters, forming a stone gate. The situation here is sinister, showing the potential of one person, and it is a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. Now it has been built manually and can be used by cars.

There are Changshan Mountain, Fenghuang Mountain, Zhenshan Mountain and other peaks near Xiangshan Mountain. For example, the stars arch the moon, which is really beautiful, and all the mountains are the locations of Tibetan Army Cave (also known as General Cave). Among these mountains, there are the most Tibetan caves on the top of the mountain. The largest Tibetan army cave can accommodate more than 1000 soldiers. It has a kitchen, a meeting room, a storage room, an armory and so on. It has always been called "Fu Jiang Great Wall"!

Outside the East Gate of Jiangyin, you can see the bonfire built on the highest peak of Phoenix Mountain. Beacon tower, also known as beacon tower, was originally built in the Spring and Autumn Period. Daxiangshan was originally named Taohua Mountain. According to legend, peach trees were everywhere in the Spring and Autumn Period. There is a big stream in Gangxi, with a spring at the top, which sprays water all year round. Whenever the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the petals fall into the stream, drifting with the tide and poetic.

Tibetan military caves, beacon towers, Taohuaxi and other historical sites still exist and are listed as key cultural relics protection units in Zhangjiagang City. 1 since February, 1986, four ancient tombs have been found on many hillsides in Fusha, including1in Han Dynasty and 3 in Song Dynasty. The tomb is located at the foot of Changshan Mountain, about15m above the ground. There are bronze mirrors, pottery pots and other artifacts in the unearthed Han tombs. Among the three Han Dynasties, there are colored glazed pottery pots in Cizhou cellar, two pairs of double earring porcelain bottles, animal foot porcelain incense burner, porcelain bowl, double bronze mirror, small square bronze mirror, octagonal inscription bronze mirror and other cultural relics. According to records, Cizhou cellar came from Hebei, Yuejiao came from Zhejiang, and bronze mirrors with inscriptions came from Guangdong. The appearance of the above cultural relics fully shows that more than 2,000 years ago, Changshan area in Nansha, with convenient transportation, residents gathering and commodity circulation, was an important town on the north-south traffic line! These cultural relics shining with the glory of ancient culture have been buried for thousands of years and almost forgotten. In recent years, due to Zhangjiagang's opening to the world, Nansha 18 scenic spots have regained their brilliance, and a string of antique "pearl necklaces" have been worn around the emerging seaport.
