Jiuding Longtan

The ancient trees at the foot of Longquan Mountain are towering, and a good pool of water forms a nine tripod Longtan. The water is crystal clear, the water plants are dancing, the fish are free, and the Yulong Snow Mountain is reflected in it. It is clear and proud, and the artistic conception is endless. It is one of the eight sceneries of Shuhe river. There is a truncated stele beside Longtan, whose age can't be tested. If you knock it with stones, it will make a clear sound, which is the "broken stele knocking sound" in the eight sceneries of Shuhe river. When tourists pass by and feed the fish in the pond, the fish competing for food jump one after another, and the splashing water will splash on the feeders' faces. The scene of such intimate relationship between people and fish is the "fish and water relatives" in the eight scenes of Shuhe river.
