Jinshan

China, an East Asian country is one of the world’s oldest civilizations. It has a vast cultural history of more than five thousand years and an outstanding natural beauty. On the other hand, this country has remained a comparatively isolated and secluded one, and being a land of mystery, this country is not known to the western half of the world. However, China is rapidly developing and has grown in the phase of modernization, with an immense speed and is also welcoming the outer world to interact and do business with them.

Jiaoshan stands in the middle of the Yangzi River, 5 kilometers northeast of Zhenjiang. To get to this island you need to take a 30 minute ferry ride. Covered with greenery, this green island has been likened to a piece of floating jade on the river. The Monastery of Stability and Wisdom called as Dinghui Si which dates back thousand years is on the island. Apart from this, there is also the well-known Forest of Tablets called Beilin which include over four hundred stone tablets inscribed in the handwriting of some of the best known calligraphers in China dating from the seventh century to the present.

Jiaoshan is definitely one of the popular tourist attractions in China. It is worth paying a visit while touring the country. This place will leave a pleasing and unforgettable memory and justify the proud cultural tradition of China.
