在古代，中国东部的江苏省镇江市便有“京口”之称。其位于长江和京杭大运河的黄金十字交叉点上，可谓“咽喉”之地。长江自上游携带大量泥沙来到这里，逐渐沉积成了江中小岛。这里有三座秀丽的小山，即金山、北固山和焦山，与长江紧密相连，被称为“京口三山”。
汉译英：
In ancient times, Zhenjiang city, Jiangsu Province, in Eastern China, was called Jingkou. Located at the golden cross of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it is a place of strategic importance. The upper reaches of the Yangtze River deposit a lot of silt here, which has gradually built up into a small island in the river. There are three beautiful mountains here, namely, Jinshan Mountain, Beigu Mountain and Jiaoshan Mountain, which are closely connected with the Yangtze River and are called the Three Mountains in Jingkou.
