The water in Shangwan is an ethereal and quiet virgin, crystal clear, elegant and refined. The water in Shangwan is beautiful, and the beauty lies in Metasequoia glyptostroboides. There are three Metasequoias in the water, just like the green peak standing proudly, tall and beautiful. The surface of the water is like a mirror, and the shadows of mountains, trees and sunsets are like pieces of jade.

Located about thirty-five miles northeast of Danyang City and two kilometers southwest of picheng Town, Crystal Mountain, the highest peak in Danyang, is 166.1 meters above sea level, which was named Pengshan in ancient times. The crystal mountains and hills are endless, the springs and rocks are beautiful, and the vegetation is lush, which makes people relaxed and happy. It is a rich land of geomantic omen.

In Shan Zhinan Slope, during the reign of Jin Xiankang, the venerable Buddha founded a temple. It is said that a famous monk once recited scriptures here, so Crystal Mountain is also called "Jingshan". The temple is also known as Jingshan Temple. It was rebuilt in the Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Song Zhiping, it was endowed with "worship of religion", so it was also called "worship of religion temple". Jingshan Temple has a history of more than 16 years. It is located in a beautiful forest, surrounded by mountains on three sides and surrounded by towering ancient trees. But when I hear birds singing, I can't see people's voices. It was a famous temple in Jiangnan during the Six Dynasties. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was both a Buddhist shrine and a local scenic spot. People of all ages, including emperors, came here to worship and visit, and left many poems of praise. For example, the Jingshan written by Wang Xu in Qing Dynasty: "Wan He relaxes the breeze and sheds the delicate fragrance, and the Zen forest is deeply locked in the white clouds ..."; "Lianyun stack is cut like Can Cong, and the small sword door opens a line ...". Chongjiao Temple has eight views, namely Bodhi Well, Fangzhulin, Yi Yishi, Jinxing, Jinniu Cave, Xianren Stone, Niubi Spring and lecture platform (Yuhuatai). It is known as "Eight Views through the Mountain" in history, and each scene has its wonderful place and beautiful legend, which is a scenic spot for people to visit. Because there is Jinniu Cave on the mountain, Crystal Mountain is also called Jinniu Mountain or Jinshan Mountain. Located in the patio of Chongjiao Temple. The well water is clear and as deep as several feet. There is a bodhi tree beside the original well, towering into the sky, with lush branches and leaves, and the results are solid. Both monks and good men and women collect it as prayer beads. Because the tree is beside the well, the well is called Bodhi Well. The spring water on the shaft wall drips all year round, making a tinkling sound, which is crisp and pleasant, just like playing a pipa, so the well is also called a pipa well.

Ji Zhongying, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, said in a poem: "The pine sound and flowers shadow the Vatican Palace, and the incense and bodhi are inexhaustible." On a cold winter day, when walking in the streets and alleys of Paicheng, you will often smell the fragrant aroma. Everyone familiar with it knows that this is the smell of mutton. In autumn and winter, eating mutton and drinking mutton soup is a major food fashion for people in Pucheng. Big restaurants and roadside stalls have launched their own mutton banquets: braised mutton, stir-fried mutton offal, mutton soup soaked in Jingjiang navel ... attracting countless diners to open "mutton" meat. Dongxiang mutton is rich in dalu town, Yaoqiao Town and Dagang in Dantu District of Zhenjiang City. This area is named "Dongxiang" because it is located in the east of Zhenjiang City. And picheng is also in the east of Zhenjiang city, close to dalu town and Dagang. In addition, picheng town is mostly hilly and rich in grass, which is a good place to raise goats. Therefore, Dongxiang mutton is also a local delicacy in Pucheng.

Dongxiang mutton in the traditional sense is braised mutton. Its meat is tender, fat but not greasy, and it can nourish the stomach and tonify deficiency. Dongxiang mutton production technology is very particular, strict selection of ingredients, complete seasonings and proper cooking. In the selection of materials, mutton with skin is generally the top grade. First, the whole mutton is cut into large pieces, put into the pot, and add enough water. In addition to the usual seasonings such as onion, wine, ginger, cinnamon and star anise, white radish cut into pieces is added. Then roll three times with strong fire, skim off the floating foam, and then simmer for a long time with slow fire until it is cooked. At this time, fish out the mutton, remove the sheep bones, cut the meat into blocks, add various condiments and rock sugar to the pot for braising. When the fire is over, sprinkle a proper amount of fresh and green garlic leaves to get out of the pot and serve. Look at its color, ruddy and bright; Smell its taste and pour four incense seats; Its meat is fat but not greasy, crisp, sweet and mellow, and delicious, which makes people reluctant to stop chopsticks. In Danyang's words, it's really "never lose your mouth" at this time. After eating this Dongxiang mutton, even in the severe winter of March 9, it seems that I have added a fur coat to my body, and I feel warm and comfortable all over. It is really a rare winter food to eat mutton in the east of the city.

Dongxiang mutton is also called "green food" because the main ingredient is local goats of that year, and these goats grew up eating grass on the edge of fields, banks and hills. With the change of people's dietary taste and the development of mutton management, Dongxiang mutton has not only been optimized in cooking methods, but also expanded in cuisine content. "Dongxiang mutton" has developed from the original braised mutton to today's whole lamb mat.
