Reading and translation of inscription,
獅嶺雄觀  - Great View of Shiling -
(Lion Ridge, nowadays a part of Guangzhou City)

在府治西二十里高三十六丈
周五里形如獅子似是得名
南有紫竹林禅院顓愚和
尚至金陵招建郡伯陳開
虞修造一閣一亭勒石記事

Lies 20 miles West from the prefectural seat on an altitude of 36 zhangs (cca 120 m) with the circumference of 5 miles.
Because of the lion shaped ridge the city got this name.
In the South there is a Chan temple called Zizhu
(Black Bamboo Forest)
Benighted monks went to Nanking and invited the county prefect Chen Kaiyu for constructions to get built a pavilion with a tower, as the stone tablet carvings
(describe)

There is no indication of artist and date.
According to the encyclopedia Shiling was founded in the Qing dynasty during the reign of Qianlong Emperor (1736-95). Thus the picture could be from
the middle of XIX.C.

With regards,
I.Nagy
