High above the bustling city Jishan Hill stands proud. Its name echoes through time a testament to the renowned writer Lu Ji of the Western Jin Dynasty. Jishan Hill wasn’t always this small. Once much larger it was significantly reduced by long-term quarrying. Imagine a mountain three times its current size. Now a mere 38.9 meters above sea level it still commands a view. The surrounding area is a tranquil village Pingyuan village also named in honor of Lu Ji. This small hill though diminished retains a unique charm. It is a reminder of a rich past and a testament to the enduring spirit of Shanghai. Local legends say the rock is exceptionally hard. This explains the limited quarrying success. The local people say you can hear the whispers of the past in the wind whistling through the remaining rock formations. Climb to the top and feel the history beneath your feet.
