Jiuhua Mountain, within Nanjing in Jiangsu, China, is commonly known as Little Jiuhua Mountain (to distinguish it from Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui). It is a remnant ridge of Zhongshan extending west into the city of Nanjing, with an elevation of 61 metres. To its east is Taiping Gate, to its west Beijige, and to the north it borders Xuanwu Lake along the Nanjing Ming city wall. The hill was once the site of the Leyou Garden, an imperial palace garden of the Southern Dynasties; because its shape resembles an upturned boat it was also named Fuzhou Mountain, and it later took its present name from the Little Jiuhua Cave on its south side. Little Jiuhua Mountain is famous for the Sanzang Pagoda on its summit and as the burial place of a parietal bone relic of Xuanzang. There is an old temple on the hill, formerly named Qingyuan Temple, Falun Temple, Longguang Temple and so on; in the Yuanjia period of the Liu Song dynasty of the Southern Dynasties (424-453) the monk Daosheng lived and practised in this temple, and was later expelled from Nanjing for holding that even stubborn stones have spiritual nature, and at Huqiu in Suzhou "Daosheng preached the dharma and the stubborn stones nodded".
