Gazing across the waters, Xiaojinshan Island beckons. It’s also known as “Little Gold Mountain Island”. This island, along with Dajinshan and Fushan, forms a protected nature reserve in Jinshan District, Shanghai. Xiaojinshan Island sits within Hangzhou Bay. It’s part of a trio of islands, each steeped in history and local lore. These islands, once part of a much larger landmass, now stand as remnants of a bygone era, whispering tales of a time before Shanghai existed. Dajinshan Island, or “Greater Gold Mountain Island”, boasts Shanghai’s highest peak at 103.4 meters. Fishermen claim that on calm days you can glimpse the ancient city walls of Kangcheng beneath the bay’s surface near Dajinshan Island. This submerged city, once a bustling hub, is now a ghostly reminder of the dramatic earthquake and tsunamis that reshaped the landscape in 1184. Imagine a thriving province with fortifications, bridges, and a major city, all swallowed by the sea. Xiaojinshan Island stands as a silent witness to this dramatic event. These islands, now tranquil nature reserves, hold the memory of a lost world. They invite us to contemplate the power of nature and the ephemeral nature of human endeavors. A visit to Xiaojinshan Island offers not just a scenic escape but a journey through time.
