Yangshan Quarry, Ancient limestone quarry in Nanjing, China.
The Yangshan Quarry spans across a large area of geological formations, featuring exposed limestone walls and numerous extraction points from centuries of mining activities.
The quarry supplied construction materials from the Six Dynasties period through the Ming Dynasty, contributing stones for buildings and monuments throughout Nanjing.
The site contains stone inscriptions and original markings that demonstrate the mining techniques and engineering capabilities of Chinese stonemasons across different periods.
The quarry opens daily for visitors, with guided tours available in multiple languages and informational panels explaining the historical importance of different sections.
Three massive unfinished stele components remain at the site, including a base weighing 16,250 tons, intended for the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.
