Jiangjun Mountain (Chinese: 将军山; pinyin: jiāngjūnshān) is located near Tiexin Bridge in Jiangning District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China. Facing Qinhuai River, it borders Niushou Mountain. Today, it is a place of historical interest.
The environment
Lake
Jiangjun mountain is situated at the center of numerous mountains. A ground spring at the top of the mountain flows down the side and forms a lake at the bottom of the mountain.
Metasequoia
The metasequoia tree is a peculiar scene in Jiangjun mountain due to its mystery. It is always hidden in the shadow and the air there is fresh and humid. The winding bridge, made of metasequoia, leads tourists to the interior the mountain.
History
Jin Army
In 1129, the Jin[1] Army invaded. However the Jin army was inexperienced with sea warfare, so Wuzhu decided to withdraw.[2]
In April 1130, the Yue Army of Song defeated the Jin Army at Jiangjun mountain.[citation needed]
The remaining ramparts are now historical relics from the battle. There are about 4,200 kilometers of ramparts from the New Qinhuai River of Tiexin bridge to Jiangjun Mountain and Niushou Mountain[citation needed]. The condition of the ramparts are especially well preserved on Jiangjun Mountain.
