Yufeng Mountain.

Yufeng Mountain is located in the northwest of Kunshan City, with a height of 80.2 meters. The mountain is covered with lush greenery and the rocks are as white as jade, hence the name Linglong Stone. The mountain is known as a "real mountain that looks like a fake mountain". During the Southern Liang Dynasty, Huiju Temple was built, which was said to be the first of the "480 temples of the Southern Dynasty". Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty visited here and wrote the phrase "kites fly and fish jump". In the 32nd year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1906), it was opened as a park. Because the mountain is shaped like a saddle, it is named "Ma'anshan Park". In the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), it was renamed "Tinglin Park" in memory of Mr. Gu Yanwu. The main entrance has a "Yufeng Jia Chu" screen wall, and the east side has a Qiong flower (also known as Kunshan Stone, and Tili Lotus), which is more than one meter high. Every year from April to May, the tree is full of silver flowers, and eight flowers bloom in a group, hence the name "Ju Baxian". The building on the west side is the ancestral hall of Gu Dingchen, a minister of the Ming Dynasty, which was built to commend Gu Dingchen's achievements in building the city and resisting the Japanese. In front of the mountain, there is a statue of Gu Yanwu, and the screen wall is engraved with Gu's famous saying: the rise and fall of the world, the responsibility of the husband (Li Yimang's book). Gu is a person from Qian Dun (also known as Qian Dun) in Kunshan. He is known as one of the three great thinkers and patriotic scholars in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, along with Wang Fuzhi and Huang Zongxi. His works are extremely rich, and his famous sayings have a great influence on later generations. Yufeng Mountain is divided into east and west peaks, the east is Bo Yunfeng, and the west is Zi Yunyan. There is a pavilion halfway up Bo Yunfeng, which was built by Tao Shu, the governor of the two rivers during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. There is Liu Guo's tomb on the east side of the mountain. Liu is a famous patriotic poet of the Haofang School in the Southern Song Dynasty. He is known as the Dragon State Taoist, and he is friendly with Xin Qiji and Lu You. He has written works such as "Longzhou Ci". There is a cave next to it, and the clear spring flows down from the top of the cave. The cave is written in seal script: Shuiliandong; there is a huge stone wall standing above it, engraved: Nie Yunfeng. To the north is the Gu Tinglin Memorial Hall. There are two Kunshi in the square pavilion in front of the hall, which are 2 meters high and named "Linglong Yingrun", which are treasures among the stones. To the south is a pond, where lotus flowers are planted everywhere. It is said that this is a rare flower named Qianbanlian in Tianzhu, with double sepals and pistils. It was planted by Gu Aiying, a famous scholar of the Yuan Dynasty, in Zhengyi, and then transplanted here. Zi Yunyan is the main peak of the mountain, with many dangerous rocks and strange rocks. The natural scenery is better than the east peak. There are Cuiwei Pavilion, Yufeng Pavilion, and Wen Zao Feng.
