On the north bank of the Yangtze River estuary, on the Jianghai Plain in Ma Pingchuan, Langshan, Jianshan, Junshan, Maanshan and Huangni stand by the river, with beautiful scenery of five mountains. Standing on Wolf Mountain, the head of the Five Mountains, you can see the endless Yangtze River, which is the widest part of the Yangtze River. From the north bank to the south bank, the river is about eight or nine kilometers wide, just like a piece of Wang Yang sea. Wolf Mountain, east-west, quiet in the north and slippery in the south, with steep cliffs at the northern foot, is difficult to climb; The south slope is gentle and easy to climb.
In ancient times, Langshan was originally an island at the mouth of the Yangtze River. After years of sediment deposition, it is connected with the jiangbei coast. But at the foot of the mountain, there is still a clear "mountain protection river" surrounded by mountains, and there is also a beautiful name called "Jade Belt River", which adds a scene to the Wolf Mountain. There is a couplet in the temple on the mountain: "Until the ebb tide, the banks of the river widen, surrounded by rivers". This strongly proves that this mountain was originally "Jiang Xindao". The ancients called this Wolf Mountain in Jiang Xindao "a beauty of combing her hair" and "an old woman in meditation". It's really poetic and profound. ...
There is a welcoming purpose in Langshan Scenic Area: shine far first, then shine near. That is, greet the guests from afar first, and then receive the guests from nearby. It can be seen that Langshan has the heart of the world, putting others before oneself and having the heart of a saint.
There is a beautiful legend about the generous Wolf Mountain. In ancient times, there was a white wolf in this mountain, who took the mountain as the king and did many evils, turning a beautiful green hill into a barren hill. One day, a young monk from afar was tired and wanted to have a rest here. "What's the difficulty?" The white wolf carefully thought about how big a seat could be, so he gave the monk a wild look. "How big a place do you want to borrow?" "Not big, not big. There is a place the size of a cassock. " "Nothing, nothing." Seeing that the cassock was only three or five feet in size, the White Wolf readily agreed. "I am polite here, thank you, benefactor." I saw the wandering monk waving the cassock and scattering it into the sky. I didn't expect the cassock to flutter suddenly. Like an endless net, it fell from the sky and covered the whole mountain in the net ... The white wolf was so clever that he panicked and knew that he had met a fairy with boundless magic. He immediately fell to his knees and said, "The saints are on the ground, and the villains worship!" " The white wolf is good at actuarial science, so he rolled up his bedding and gave up Wolf Mountain. Before leaving, the white wolf knelt down and begged, "Can you call this mountain Wolf Mountain and leave a memory for the villain?" "I promise you."
This merciful monk is the Great Sage Bodhisattva who later made Langshan flourish. As a result, the local people left a humorous postscript: "The Great Sage Bodhisattva borrowed the Wolf Mountain and never returned it."
Guangjiao Temple at the top of Langshan Mountain, on the thick black columns on both sides of the temple gate, reads a pair of couplets swallowing mountains and rivers: "The whistling sound is like a mountain stream and a valley, looking up at the sky."

On the black column in the hall, you can read a pair of poems: smile when you open the door, smile at everything now; A big belly can contain everything. The Great Sage Bodhisattva has a heart as big as Wang Yangtian. ...

Nantong is not only the first mountain in the rivers and seas, but also the first city in modern China.
