Jiaoshan is a picturesque island in the Yangtze River, accessible by ferry from Zhenjiang. The island is dotted with historic pavilions, temples, and gardens, but its standout attraction is the Stele Forest, a collection of hundreds of ancient stone tablets inscribed with calligraphy and texts from various dynasties. Visitors can wander along tree-lined paths, climb to the top of the island's hill for river panoramas, and explore the quiet courtyards of the island's temples. The blend of natural scenery and cultural relics makes it a unique retreat.
