Diyishan Mountain (Xuyi)
盱眙第一山
A famous hill on the south bank of the Huai River, named after Mi Fu's inscription “First Mountain.” It combines stone inscriptions, old temples, and Huai River scenery.
Diyi Mountain lies on the south bank of the Huai River in the county seat of Xuyi. It was originally called Nanshan, but it got its name when the Northern Song calligrapher Mi Fu passed through and inscribed the characters “First Mountain.” The hill holds a forest of inscribed stone tablets from many eras, along with the “First Mountain” pavilion, Boli Spring, Xiuyan rock, a Song-dynasty cliff inscription, and the Guoshan Stele. From the summit you can look out over the Huai River and the county town. The hill is not high, and a visit takes about two hours. It can be linked with the Crayfish Street and Duliang Park in town. Admission follows the scenic area's posted prices.
