About Jiaoshan Ancient Battery

Jiaoshan Ancient Battery preserves the military layer of Jiaoshan, the island mountain in the Yangtze River. Built and strengthened in the late imperial period, the site recalls the strategic importance of the river approach to Zhenjiang. Visit it with Dinghui Temple and the Stele Forest: the contrast between Buddhist heritage, carved inscriptions and defensive remains explains why Jiaoshan is more than a scenic walk. Allow time for the riverside views and the paths connecting the historic sites.
