半壁山位于湖北阳新县城东25公里的长江南岸。它平地突起,逼向江心,临江一侧的悬崖好象是长江将其劈开,并把另一半卷走了似的,半壁山因此而得名。半壁山傲江而立,山体直插江底,山下激流滚滚浪花四溅,形势十分险要,故古人称此为“楚江锁钥”。 Banbi Mountain is located in Yangxin County, Hubei Province, 25 kilometers east of the Yangtze River south bank. It protrudes flatly, toward the heart of Jiang, Linjiang side of the cliff seems to be the Yangtze River will split it, and the other half swept away, half the mountain hence the name. Away from the mountains half stand, the mountain line in the river, the mountain torrent rolling waves splashing, the situation is very dangerous, so the ancients called this “Chujiang key lock.”
