The old name of Yuquan Longwang Temple got its name from the "Dragon God" granted by the emperors of Jiaqing and Guangxu dynasties in the Qing Dynasty. Later it was renamed Heilongtan. 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.

The exquisite and beautiful Yiwen Pavilion and Deyue tower stand in the center of the inner and outer pools respectively. It faces the water on all sides and is connected with the shore by a bridge. 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".
