Legend has it that after Qin Shi Huang unified China, during a spring tour eastward to his fiefdom of Yihou (present-day Zhenjiang New District, Jiangsu Province), he saw towering mountains on the Yangtze River, shaped like a giant dragon and brimming with auspicious energy. He was delighted. To preserve this auspicious energy, he named the area Chui Mountain. Chui Mountain boasts a rich tapestry of ancient volcanic geology. In addition to its natural wonders, including the so-called "36 cliffs and 72 unique caves," it also boasts Baoen Pagoda, the tallest tower on the Yangtze River, perched atop its main peak. This pagoda embodies a profound culture of gratitude and repaying kindness.
