Mr.Wang(China) said:
Zhenjiang is a very charming city. It's located at the junction of the Yangtze River and the Jing-Hang Grand Canal. There are three famous hills along the Yangtze River in Kunshan. They are Jinshan Hill, Jiaoshan Hill and Beigushan Hill. On the Jinshan Hill stands the Jinshan Temple. Stand at the foot of the Jinshan Hill, you can see the temple very clearly.
