ji\u0101ngj\u016bnsh\u0101n) and got some great views of Zhaoqing from up high. There is a temple on the mountain that is lit up at night, and since coming here, we\u2019ve been planning to visit it. We found a way up yesterday. The electric scooters had a hard time climbing up the steeper parts of the road, but we got there eventually, and it was well worth the effort. The temple itself is impressive, and the views from it are spectacular. Unfortunately, it was rather wet, cold and windy up there, so we didn&#8217;t stay long.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/images\/photos\/jiangjunshantemple.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" alt=\"The temple on Jiangjun Mountain\" \/><br \/>\n<em>The temple on Jiangjun Mountain<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/images\/photos\/viewfromjiangjunshan.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" alt=\"A view of Zhaoqing from Jiangjun Mountain\" \/><br \/>\n<em>A view of Zhaoqing from Jiangjun Mountain<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ling-app.com\/offer-yearly-subscription\/?affiliateId=omniglot\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/images\/banners\/banner_ling-app.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"79\" alt=\"Language skills in just 10 minutes a day with Ling\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more Omniglot News, see:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/news\/\">https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/news\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/omniglot\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/omniglot\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Omniglot-100430558332117\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Omniglot-100430558332117<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.japanesepod101.com\/member\/go.php?r=759259&#038;i=b0\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/images\/banners\/japanesepod101.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" style=\"float:right; margin: 0 0 0 15px;\" alt=\"JapanesePod101.com\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also listen to this podcast on: <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/gb\/podcast\/radio-omniglot\/id1432641094\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/8b1b1d1b-b39e-4277-b28d-479a3b5043b3\/radio-omniglot\">Amazon Music<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/podcasts\/Education-Podcasts\/Radio-Omniglot-p1154145\/\">TuneIn<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podchaser.com\/podcasts\/radio-omniglot-716327\">Podchaser<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to support this podcast, you can make a donation via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/uk\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_flow&#038;SESSION=aLjPfXL-vP_1gQ_U23Iz8_hSWLlhzLHPMFZrt32dIEfG8htoNFLYaPoWkv8&#038;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8def8934b92a630e40b7fef61ab7e9fe63\">PayPal<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/omniglot\">Patreon<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/donations.htm\">contribute to Omniglot in other ways<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5001128073855040\"\n crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Blog horizontal --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n style=\"display:block\"\n data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5001128073855040\"\n data-ad-slot=\"1685480124\"\n data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Radio Omniglot podcasts are brought to you in association with <a href=\"https:\/\/blubrry.com\/services\/podcast-hosting\/?code=omniglot\">Blubrry Podcast Hosting<\/a>, a great place to host your podcasts.
