Historical heritage

In the second year of Qianlong (1737 A.D.), Yuquan Temple of Dragon God was built. In the 17th year of Jiaqing (1812 A.D.) and the 15th year of Guangxu (1889 A.D.), Yuquan was granted the title of "Dragon God" twice by the emperor of Qing Dynasty, making Heilongtan famous in China.

Heilongtan scenic spot is mainly built in Ming and Qing Dynasties, using Naxi, Bai, Tibetan and other architectural techniques. In 1999, Heilongtan scenic spot passed the National Tourism Administration's "AAA" scenic spot certification, and in 2002, it passed ISO9001 and lso14001 quality and environmental certification, becoming the first scenic spot in Northwest Yunnan to pass double certification.

The poem says: "when is the most pleasant when is the spring full of ripples? We should appreciate the moon coming to the heart of heaven and the wind coming to the surface of the water; the pavilion stands with a sign, and we should remember the clouds flying in the painting hall and the rain rolling in the bead curtain. " Heilongtan, with its natural beauty, has been listed in such books as famous springs in China and scenic spots in China.

There is a archway painted with gold and color. There are four stone lions at the gate. They are beautiful and majestic. They used to guard Mu's Tusi Yamen and moved here to guard Yuquan in 1966. Enter the door to the right, but see the weeping willow floating fingers, a pool of clear blue, the sky under the tree, cloud shadow, treetop tower looming. Along the right bank of the pool to suochui bridge, the ancients on the bridge said: "the waves shake the trees, the snow flies, the rain does not drop, the rainbow lies on the Qubo." It vividly depicts the scenery by the bridge. Under the bridge on the right side, there are three waterfalls, splashing water and thundering waves. They flow to the ancient city, Yushui River, willows, and shade the sun. On the left side of the bridge, there is a five hole stone arch bridge, which is like a rainbow lying on the waves. The pool is divided into two parts. The exquisite and beautiful Yiwen Pavilion and Deyue tower stand in the center of the inner and outer pools respectively, facing the water on all sides, and the bridge is connected with the shore.

The building was first built in 1876, and its name is derived from the ancient couplet "near the water, you get the moon first, sunny flowers and trees spring early".

When the building was rebuilt in 1963, Guo Moruo inscribed the plaque "deyuelou" and two couplets. One is a collection of Mao Zedong's poems

There are thousands of willows in spring, and the scenery here is unique;

There are so many beautiful rivers and mountains.

The other is a couplet written by Guo Lao

The thirteen peaks are reflected in the Longtan, with the hidden dragon in the sky and the flying dragon on the ground;

The jade water is about half a mile long, the black jade is the body and the grey jade is the God.

The couplet only has 30 words, but it has the charm of Lijiang black dragon pool. The calligraphy is vigorous, free and unrestrained, which adds color to the park. In the distance, Yulong Snow Mountain falls into the pool, and you can see the wonder of "snow mountain is 48000 feet, and a corner of the screen is deep into the bottom". The half wall of Xiangshan Mountain is also reflected in the water, so that there is water in Heilongtan mountain and mountains in the water. The scenery is extremely beautiful.
