Zhongshan Mountain National Park Promotion

Zhongshan Mountain National Park (南京钟山风景名胜区), located in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, is known as the “soul of Nanjing” and a living portrait of China’s imperial and modern legacy.It stretches across 31 square kilometers of green hills and wooded trails, where over 200 scenic and cultural sites are quietly scattered. With a history rooted in dynasties and revolution, this park brings together natural wonders and architectural grandeur. In spring, cherry blossoms line the ancient paths; in summer, leafy forests offer cool shade and gentle breeze; in autumn, golden leaves and wide blue skies draw photographers and poets alike; in winter, the mountain veils itself in mist, turning the landscape into a tranquil ink painting.

Among its treasures are the solemn Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, a national symbol of renewal; the majestic Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; and the peaceful Linggu Temple, hidden among age-old trees and chanting echoes. Linked by scenic trains and quiet trails, each corner of the park tells a story of past glories and timeless nature. With its rare blend of historical weight and natural elegance, Zhongshan Mountain National Park has become a world-class destination, renowned as an “ancient mountain crowned by history, a natural gallery under the sky”.
