Jinshan Temple, Buddhist temple on Mount Jin in Zhenjiang, China.
This temple complex features traditional Chinese architecture with multiple halls, pavilions, and the notable 36-meter-high Cishou Pagoda, all integrated harmoniously with the natural mountain landscape.
Founded between 323-325 AD during the Eastern Jin dynasty by Emperor Ming of Jin, the temple has survived over 1,700 years through multiple dynasties, reconstructions, and name changes.
The temple serves as the setting for the famous Chinese legend of the White Snake, where Bai Suzhen, a transformed snake spirit, falls in love with monk Xu Xi'an in this sacred location.
Visitors can reach the temple via buses 2, 8, 17, 29, 34, 35, 40, 49, 60, 92, 102, 104, 115, 133, or 216 to Jinshangongyuan Station, with entrance fees of CNY 50.
The temple is one of only four most famous Buddhist temples in China and features Spring Zhongleng, renowned for producing aromatic tea-water praised by poets throughout history.
