Langshan Hill (Wolf Hill)
狼山
A Buddhist mountain on the north bank of the Yangtze. The Guangjiao Temple and Zhiyun Pagoda on the summit overlook the vast river, making it Nantong's most representative spot for a hilltop climb.
Langshan rises about 104 m and is the highest of the Five Mountains of Nantong. It is a national 4A-rated scenic area. The temple on the summit, Guangjiao Temple, is a place of worship for Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva. It is ranked first among China's eight minor sacred Buddhist mountains. The Zhiyun Pagoda in the temple is a symbol of Nantong. Climbing the steps takes about 30 minutes. Along the way, you pass the Tomb of Luo Binwang and the Cuijing Tower. From the summit, you can overlook the Yangtze River and the Sutong Bridge. Ticket prices for the scenic area and temple incense coupons vary, so check on-site. You can also take a sightseeing bus to the halfway point of the mountain.
Langshan is about 8 km from the city center, with direct bus service. It can be combined with Junshan and Seyuan in a single day.
