Little Orphan

Little Orphan, Yangtze China by William Saunders (1870s)
Little Orphan by Yoshida Hiroshi in 1939

Little Orphan is a rock hill in the middle of the Yangtze River, located on Susong, Anqing, Anhui province in East China. It is a landmark that frequently written and photographed by many Western travelers along the Yangtze in the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.[1][2][3] It formed during the quaternary glaciation. The hill is 78 meters above sea level. During the dry season, it would connect with the north bank of the Yangtze and become a peninsula. There is a Buddhist monastery (also a Mazu temple) on the mountainside and a pavilion on the top of the hill. Its name suggests that it stands alone in the river. "Little" makes it different from "Great Orphan" in Poyang Lake.[4][5] It is classified as an AAA-rated tourist attraction by China National Tourism Administration, attracting tens of thousands tourists and pilgrims every year.[6] Little Orphan has been a frequent subject in the Chinese classic literature, and one travels depicting Little Orphan written by Lu You is selected for the textbook of high school.[7] It appears on the 2016 Chinese film Crosscurrent.[8]
