Introduction to Chengde Jinshan: Chengde Jinshan is located on the east side of Chenghu Lake in the Summer Resort. It is modeled after Jinshan in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. It includes two buildings: "Tianyu Xianchang" in the 18th scene of "Thirty-Six Scenes of Kangxi" and "Jingshui Yuncen" in the 32nd scene. There are stone steps leading to the water stream in the south of the mountain, the gate hall in the north of the stone steps, the Jingshui Yuncen Hall halfway up the mountain, the Tianyu Xianchang Hall on the mountain, and the God Pavilion on the top of the mountain. Starting from Shuixi Fangzhou Pavilion on the west side, there is a half-moon-shaped climbing corridor connecting the various palaces. The middle floor of the God Pavilion was dedicated to Zhenwu, and the upper floor was dedicated to the Jade Emperor. Climbing the pavilion along the wooden ladder inside the pavilion feels like being on the wonderful peak of Jinshan Mountain in Zhenjiang.
