Introduction:

Nanjing is situated on the middle and lower reaches of the Yangzi river in eastern

China. The city covers an area of over six thousand square kilometers with a

population of over 6.2 million.

As the capital of Jiangsu province, Nanjing is an important cultural and education

center. The city boasts many of the province’s top universities and colleges. The city’s

notable student population consists of both native Chinese and foreigners.

The name Nanjing, which means "South Capital", is reflective of the importance of

Nanjing as the capital of six dynasties in China’s fabled history (Wu, Eastern Jin, Song,

Qi, Liang and Chen). The Chinese often refer to Nanjing as "Jinling" and/or "Stone

City", while some foreigners know it as "Nanking". Officially named Nanjing during the

Ming dynasty, it was called "Ning" for short.

Qixia mountain (pronounced as Kitsya), called She Mountain in ancient times, is

named because the QiXia Temple is located on the west side of its highest peak. There

are three peaks along the mountain: Feng Xiang (Phoenix Flying) Peak, Long(dragon)

Peak and Hu(Tiger) Peak.

The QiXia Temple is the biggest one in the Nanjing Area. It is the cradle of the

Buddhism School of The Three Sastras. It is one of the earliest established

monasteries and is still currently in use. Here you can visit some typical Buddhist

structures and learn about the history of Buddhism. QiXia Temple is famous not only

for the structure, the stone sculptures and the pagoda, but also for the clear spring,

luxuriant plant life; especially the red leaves of maple trees. These are in full bloom in

spring and autumn making these times very popular.
