Langshan Mountain is a provincial scenic spot in Jiangsu and a national AAAA-level tourist area. It is located on the east coast of the Yangtze River, six kilometers south of Nantong, Jiangsu province. It actually consists of five mountains – Junshan Mountain, Jianshan Mountain, Langshan Mountain, Ma'anshan Mountain, and Huangnishan Mountain – in a total planning area of about 11.27 square kilometers.

On the boundless plain by the river and sea, five mountains raise straight from the ground and lie imposingly at the Yangtze riverside with graceful posture like five green emeralds. It is the perfect combination of the "top landscape" and has the reputation of a "natural water bonsai".

Langshan Mountain scenic spot has beautiful natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. As one of the eight famous mountains of Buddhism in China, it features many relics, temples and buildings. It is famous for its strong scent of incense throughout the year and its long continuous line of believers.

Horticultural Expo Park is built on the basis of the Ma'anshan Mountain and Huangnishan Mountain. It is an exquisite example of the garden art of Jiangsu province and a perfect place to enjoy a spectacular river view. Riverside park, part of the area, is large, open and free; a perfect place for leisure and group activity.

Se Park is the memorial garden of Zhang Jian, the Number One Scholar of the Imperial Exam in the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and a modern national industrialist and educator. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit and the largest ornamental garden in Nantong. An ancient tree towers in the elegant garden.

It was said that Junshan Mountain was where the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) stationed his troops, so it is also named the Military Mountain. The Putuo courtyard on the mountain is home to the world's largest jade Avalokitesvara statue, an object of worship.

Jianshan Mountain has blade-like ridges, and so looks like a horizontal sword; it is also called the Sword Mountain. The Wenshu temple on the mountain worships Manjusri bodhisattva.

The exquisite combination of natural landscape and human resources makes Langshan Mountain scenic spot a bright pearl on the Jianghai plain.
