Tongjun Mountain
桐君山
The place that gave Tonglu its name. This small hill overlooks the confluence of the Fuchun and Fenshui rivers and has many Tang and Song inscriptions.
Tongjun Mountain sits across from Tonglu county seat, at the confluence of the Fuchun and Fenshui rivers. Legend says Tongjun, a pharmacologist from the time of the Yellow Emperor, built a hut here to gather medicinal herbs and took the paulownia (tong) as his surname. The county name “Tonglu” (Tong Hut) comes from this story. The summit has the Tongjun Shrine, Siwang Pavilion and a white pagoda, along with carved inscriptions from the Tang Dali era onward. The hill is not high. Climbing from the county seat across the bridge takes about 20 minutes and rewards visitors with views of the two rivers and the whole town. Admission is free, and it is ideal for an evening visit.
