Description: A large rock island near the north shore of the Yangtze River just downstream from Jiujiang, Jiangxi (Kiukiang). The island has a small pagoda on the top and a Buddhist temple halfway up the rock face from the shore. A large sailboat passing by in front of it gives a sense of scale to the mountainous rock.
