Gold Hill, with an altitude of 43.7 meters, is situated in the northwest of Zhenjiang City, 3 kilometers from the city center. It was originally an islet situated in the middle of the river. Later, because of the constant deposits of mud and sand, it has been connected to the land. Gold Hill is noted for its enchanting sceneries. As the temple is built along the hill with one layer over another, there is a common saying that "the temple covers the hill". In the mythical tale of "Legend of the White Snake", the story of the white snake Bai Suzhen inundated Gold Hill was happened there. In this tale, Fa Hai, a monk of Jinshan Temple, demolished the marriage between white snake and her husband. Failed in asking the monk for her husband, the white snake, making use of her magic, inundated the temple.
