China’s No. 1 Arhat Wall

This wall is carved in Jiangyin Junshan Park. Jiangyin Junshan covers an area of ??200 acres. It stands on flat ground, standing tall without any hills, and far away without any support. It echoes the Ebizui Park at a distance. It is said that in ancient times, Junshan was the fiefdom of Huang Xie, Lord Chunshen of the Chu Dynasty in the early Warring States Period. He was named after his death and his tomb at the foot of the mountain. The land is extremely secluded and the scenery is as beautiful as clouds. Junshan is famous for its beautiful mountains and natural scenery with diverse people. It is also famous for the harmonious coexistence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The Brahma Palace is majestic, and the thousand-year-old temples are prosperous. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Wai Lang Gao Dao, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, collected sutras and treatises, compiled and engraved the names of the five hundred Arhats, and built stone stele. Since then, all temples across the country have built halls, statues, etc. of Five Hundred Arhats based on this example. Therefore, it is said that the name "Five Hundred Arhats" originated from Jiangyin. Now, the "Five Hundred Arhat Screen Wall" built based on this is 60 meters long and has an average height of more than 4 meters. It is made of cherry red granite and is engraved with five hundred Arhats from Aruojiao Chenru to Wishong. These Arhats vary in size, are well-proportioned, lifelike and in various poses, making them the best in the country. It not only adds cultural connotation to Junshan, which is known as "the grand view of one place, the majesty of all counties", and makes the Arhat statue and catalog originated from Jiangyin, a treasure of Chinese Buddhist culture, shine again, but also, it is closely related to the nearby Jiangtian Pavilion, Jigong Stone and other natural scenic spots complement each other and form a unique landscape.

Jiangyin Xingguo Temple Tower is located on the west side of the intersection of South Street and Zhongshan South Road in the city. It was first built during the Taiping and Xingguo period of the Northern Song Dynasty.

With its simple and dignified appearance, it stands majestically in the former site of Xingguojiao Temple in the ancient city. It is the historical witness and unique symbol of Jiangyin ancient city.

After the founding of New China, the People's Government renovated and reinforced the base and body of the tower several times in order to protect this important ancient building. In 1982, it was listed as a county-level cultural relic protection unit. Under the guidance of experts from the Provincial Cultural Administration Commission, more than 300,000 yuan was allocated for comprehensive renovations from July 1985 to December 1986.

In order to make full use of the geographical advantages of the bridge scenic spot, tens of millions of yuan was invested to build a revolving sightseeing tower on the top of the main mountain of Elbizui, echoing the Wangjiang Tower and Yangtze River Bridge in Dongshan. Climbing to the top of the tower, you can see thousands of miles away and enjoy the wonders of the river, the sky, and the river and bridge.

Huangshan Fort

Jiangyin is an ancient river defense city, and Huangshan is the crown of the mountains. During the Warring States Period, Jiangyin belonged to the fiefdom of Chunshen Lord Huang Xie, hence the name "Huangshan". Huangshan Mountain leads to Elbi Mountain and Jun Mountain to the west. It borders Xiaoshan, Changshan and Wushan to the east, and meanders along the river for 10 kilometers, shielding the fertile fields of the beautiful south of the Yangtze River, naturally forming a natural moat with "mountains supporting mountains and negative waters" and "water surrounding mountains and arches". The mountain is located on the bank of the Yangtze River 2.5 kilometers away from the city. It is the narrow part of the Yangtze River and is known as the "Gateway to the River and the Sea" and the "Navigation Locking Fortress". Huangshan has peaks such as Ximao, Ma'an and Longtou, with an average height of 91 meters. Climb to the top of the mountain and look north at the Jingjiang River, confronting the Gushan Mountain. The surrounding peaks stretch for more than 30 kilometers, and you can enjoy endless scenery on both sides of the river.

According to historical records, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Wu had built a beacon tower on Ximao Mountain; during the Southern Song Dynasty, famous generals such as Han Shizhong and Xin Qiji once stationed here to defend themselves against the enemy, and specially built additional forts here. From Tongzhi to Guangxu, the fort had begun to take shape. After the Revolution of 1911, the local cannons were converted into foreign cannons and additional forts were built. Today, the ruins of the Huangshan Fort still exist, including 12 concrete forts distributed in various mountain bays and hilltops, 7 ancient cannons unearthed from the 13th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1874), and 2 statues of "General Yaowu". Iron cannons and projectiles constitute ancient and modern battlefield sites. In Huangshan, an ancient cannon worth ten thousand kilograms was also unearthed, with the words "General Yaowu" cast on it.

Now Huangshan has been built into a park. There are Huangshan Park Gate Tower, Huangshan Museum, River View Pavilion, Panshi Stream, Chen Yi's Poetry Monument, and the ancient fort, military storage room, ammunition depot, etc. have been renovated, making it a tourist attraction for appreciating the ruins of Huangshan Fort and overlooking the scenery of the Yangtze River.
