Beigushan, the northernmost of Zhenjiang's three scenic hills, rises directly from the Yangtze riverbank and provides the clearest views of the river crossing point that made Zhenjiang important. The Iron Pagoda (Tieta), built in the Northern Song Dynasty, stands near the summit and is one of the oldest structures in Zhenjiang. The Ganlu Temple complex, also on the hill, dates to the Three Kingdoms period in its founding though the current buildings are later.
The walk from the base to the summit is modest — twenty minutes — and the riverside terrace at the top offers unobstructed views across the Yangtze toward Yangzhou on the far bank. On clear days the ferry crossing between the two cities is visible. The park is well-maintained and popular with local families for morning walks. The combination of riverfront scenery, ancient pagoda, and Three Kingdoms historical associations makes this the most atmospheric of the three hills.
