Main attractions

Jielong bridge, Longtan gorge, was originally named donglongtan. It is said that Donglong ate flat peaches and violated the rule of heaven. The Jade Emperor punished Donglong for staying here day and night to protect his people. This bridge is called Jielong bridge because it is the place where Donglong was enlightened. Every dry season, the local people will burn incense and pray here. It is said that they will answer every request, which is very effective.

Suolongtan - the waterfall is about 1-4 meters wide and slowly flows into the suolongtan below. It is said that in order to bring Donglong a new life and benefit the common people, the Jade Emperor specially ordered the Buddha to enlighten him. This is the last place where Donglong rose to immortality. It is called Suolong waterfall. The pond is Suolong pond. The granite stone is very hard, and the flowing water erodes it regularly, forming a smooth and round stone wall. The nature is even more magical.

Baizhang cliff - as smooth as a mirror, there is no grass, which is quite different from the lush mountains around. It is said that when Donglong was banned, he was punished to think over the wall. This is the wall erected by the Jade Emperor at that time. Later generations called it Baizhang cliff.

Lovers stone - there is a huge stone on the top of the mountain, just like a pair of close lovers hugging each other tightly and staying together forever, which is enviable. Let's carefully identify which is female and which is male. There is a beautiful legend about this pair of affectionate lovers. It is said that a long time ago, a girl in front of the mountain fell in love with a young man in back of the mountain. Because they lived far away, they agreed that they would meet here on the night of the full moon every month. For a long time, the girl's parents found out her daughter's secret and resolutely opposed it, because they didn't want their daughter to marry too far away. You can fully understand the mother's mood at that time. If it wasn't for the development of tourism, the transportation here was so inconvenient in ancient times. There was no mobile phone or anything, and no parents would agree. But the girl deeply loved her lover on the other side of the mountain and begged her parents, but they didn't agree. In the end, the girl who had made up her mind decided to marry in Houshan, regardless of her family's opposition. So every night when the moon was full, the young couple came here by walking a long way down the mountain, looking at her mother's warm light. But for many years, her parents still refused to forgive her. Mother said: "I want to forgive you, unless the mountain rock!" The daughter left sadly. The next morning, the girl opened the door and was surprised to find her mother standing in front of her house! Looking up, it turns out that there is a huge stone growing on the top of the mountain, just like a couple of lovers who hold each other tightly and do not want to separate! Later, the mountain people called it "lovers stone", just as the old saying goes: "the mountain vows, love is stronger than stone.".

Wuzhishan - the stone tablet reads "look back, Wuzhishan". In the back of the mountain, there are five giant cracks in the middle from top to bottom. It looks like a giant hand. It's a real Wuzhishan. This hand is so big, it's not an ordinary hand. It's the "Buddha's palm" of the Buddha. Even if the monkey king has 72 changes, he can't escape the Wuzhishan mountain.

Shuangjianfeng - are these two straight into the sky like two sharp swords? This is the "double sword peak" of Longtan gorge. Most of the scenic spots in Longtan gorge are granite mountains, and the characteristics of granite are that there are many peaks surrounded and the main peak is obvious.
