Come to Ningbo tourism, if you want to see a set of natural scenery, cultural landscapes, religious culture in one of the comprehensive tourist place, then Zhaobao Mountain you must not be wrong. Zhaobao Mountain is located on the north bank of the Yongjiang Estuary three miles northeast of Zhenhai District, across the river from jinji Mountain on the south bank, forming a natural danger, and was once known as "Zhejiang East Yumen Pass" in history.
Zhaobao Mountain is originally called "Houtao Mountain", also known as Aozhu Mountain. Regarding the name of this scenic spot, there is a lot of attention. First of all, because the waves outside the mountain are turbulent, and there is a scene of "Tiger Crouching And Roaring" in the historical record, the literati and scholars in ancient times often accompanied by mountaineers to listen to the waves, so they directly called it "Hou Tao". In addition, because there was originally a "Pillar Tower" on the mountain, it was also known as Aozhu Mountain. Later, because of the history of Zhenhai, there was such a record: When Haikou, the merchants passed through, hundreds of treasures intersected, because of the name of Zhaobao. Hence the name Zhaobao.
Zhaobao Mountain originally consisted of three parts: the front mountain, the back mountain and the Yamashita Palace Ancestral Hall, covering an area of about 37 hectares. Because of the construction of the town harbor in 1974, the back mountain was flattened and used as a coal wharf; and the Yamashita Palace Ancestral Hall, which has undergone historical changes, has long been obliterated, so when zhaobao mountain was renovated in 1980, only the front mountain remained, and the whole scenic spot you see now also belongs to the front mountain part.
It is worth mentioning that the summit of Zhaobao Mountain has built Baotuo Temple, after several wars, only the Yuantong Treasure Hall remains, but for a long time in modern times, Zhaobao Mountain is famous for Baotuo Temple, and most tourists enter the mountain to worship Lu Guanyin, which has been incense for hundreds of years, and can also be called a famous attraction in eastern Zhejiang.
In fact, Zhaobao Mountain, which occupies the southeast coast of the motherland, has always been a key place for coastal defense, and there have been many glorious historical sites in resisting foreign insults since the Ming and Qing dynasties. Under zhaobao mountain, the completion of the Zhenhaikou Haiphong Historical Sites Memorial Hall also provides a vivid patriotic education base for young people across the country.
After renovation and reconstruction and nearly 20 years of painstaking management, Zhaobao Mountain is like an old tree with flowers, and gradually recovers its vitality. After the renovation, you can see dozens of attractions here, such as Weiyuan City, Yuecheng, Wugong Jigong Monument Pavilion, Mid-Levels Pavilion, Chess Pieces, Zizhu Forest, Xian Ren Well, Xian Ren Cave and Gradually Entering Jia Jing Fang.
Since it was opened to tourists in 1982, the three uphill roads of Zhongfeng Ancient Road, Nanling cloud road and Xishan Youyou Trail have been connected to each other, so that more tourists can enjoy the attractions everywhere. Especially in recent years, the number of tourists in Zhaobao Mountain has doubled, the number of elderly people in urban areas going up the mountain in the early morning is increasing, and holidays are a good place for teenagers to vacation.
