White Dragon Waterfall

It is the largest waterfall in the suburbs of Hangzhou. The fall of the waterfall is about 50 meters. The water flow in the pool under the waterfall is connected by a snake shaped Valley embedded in the dangerous rocks and cliffs. It is like a white dragon swimming in the air, like smoke and fog. The water falling into the pool splashes with countless water drops, shining in the sun. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been a good scene for Hangzhou people and foreign tourists to enjoy. The Ming Dynasty poet Tian Yiheng has a poem: "the waterfall flies from the sky, the strange rain, the stone gate is like a gorge lock, startling waves." Yu Dafu, a well-known writer from Fuyang, Zhejiang Province, has been here many times to enjoy the scenery. In his poem inscription on the wall of Longmen Mountain, he wrote that "there is a slant of the Milky way outside the sky, and the waterfalls of the four mountains sing frogs. In the Ming Dynasty, if I want to help the mulberry, can I go fishing by the edge of the rock? " Other famous words about Bailong waterfall are: "the red clouds are broken from the two rocks, and the water is suspended in vain. The white water is flying." the waterfall flies from the sky, and the strange rain makes the rocks lock the waves like the gorge. The Longtan waterfall flies thousands of feet, and the fish break through the sound be too numerous to enumerate.

There are many beautiful legends about the origin of the White Dragon Waterfall. The most popular one is that a long time ago, there lived a white dragon at the foot of Longmen Mountain. Because of the loneliness in the mountain, one day, it suddenly broke the Buddha's belly and took off for a trip. As a result, there was a long-standing Longmen waterfall. This is also the reason why Longmen Mountain is also called "Buddha belly mountain".

Bailongtan

It is located at the main entrance of the scenic spot. It is said that all the dragons in the world gather here on the eighth day of August every year to talk about what happened in their respective territories and exchange experiences with each other. Then the white dragon here leads brothers and sisters to visit the white dragon pool. This gathering every year is a grand event of the dragon people, and it also brings us a lot of blessings in Bailongtan. It is said that if you listen carefully in huilongtan on the eighth day of August, you can still hear the whispers of the dragon's family.

The jade dragon in Tanzhong is carved from the most precious and high-grade carved building stone in China, with a total length of 25 meters and a height of 3.6 meters. It uses 236 tons of stone and still weighs 106 tons after carving. It is the largest jade dragon carved from white marble in China. Yulong is designed by national master of Arts and crafts Mr. Ni Dongfang and hand carved by folk master of Arts and crafts Mr. Chen Xinhui. It has very high ornamental and artistic value. The water in the pond is clear, the jade dragon is graceful and warm, and the dragon head is high spirited. It seems to roar out of the blue waves. It is integrated with the mountain scenery and water scenery, forming one of the landmark landscapes of Bailongtan.

Qinglongtan

It is located under Qianzhang rock. The green mountain is reflected in the pool. The water in the pool is more and more green, so it is called "Qinglong pool". It is said that Xiaoqinglong, the cousin of xiaobailong, came here to visit. Seeing the wonderful scenery of Longmen Mountain, he had an evil idea and wanted to occupy Longmen Mountain as his own palace. In the end, he was defeated by xiaobailong and ran away. After that, Xiaoqinglong repented and came to plead guilty. Xiaobailong forgave him and sent this pool to Xiaoqinglong for permanent residence.

Xiao Long Qiu

It is said that a mountain torrent broke out one year in the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty, which washed out a large and deep ditch. More than ten women who were mining on the mountain couldn't get down. The situation was very critical. After a lightning stroke, a huge thunder exploded, splitting a huge tree in two and lying across the ditch. Several women were able to cross it safely. The local people think that the white dragon in the mountain is helping in the dark, so they call this mountain stream "xiaolongqiu".

Plank road in the clouds: Tian Yiheng in Ming Dynasty called it "Bird Road", which means that only birds can fly by. In his poem "Bailongtan", he described "climbing the bird road obliquely for a long time and exploring the Longyuan with many adventures. The waterfall flies from the sky, the rain is strange, and the stone gate is like a gorge. There is a local saying: "panlongling, take the Dragon Road, step by step higher." In order to make it easy for tourists to watch the waterfall, the scenic area has built a plank road. The plank road has a total of 108 levels. It is very dangerous to walk along the stream along the cliff. People walk on it like in the clouds. The sound of footsteps and the sound of the stream below are intertwined together. It has a special taste.

Guanyin Cave: one of the three eyes of Longmen. There is a local saying that in order to investigate the morality and talent of the candidates of sihailong king, the Jade Emperor had to select a publicly recognized immortal to investigate. Therefore, we sent a fair and just Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to investigate, in order to avoid improper selection of people, which would lead to the consequences of "turbulent clouds and waters". As soon as he arrived here, he found that the mountain ranges, the auspicious atmosphere, the jade trees facing the wind, and the clear streams flowing green are rare in the world. So after the investigation, Guanyin rented the cave from the old dragon in Bailongtan as his summer shelter. Since then, Avalokitesvara has lived in Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea and Bailongtan in Hangzhou in turn, protecting the people of the two places. During the Anti Japanese War, the Japanese invaded this area, burning, killing and looting. It's said that the devils have entered the village. In order to take refuge, the villagers of longmenkan village hid in Guanyin cave. In this way, they escaped successfully. It's said that Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared. Local old people still remember that there were more than 100 people hiding in Guanyin cave at that time.

Qianzhangyan: one of the eight sceneries of Longmen, located under Longmen temple, also known as "echo wall". The cliffs stand thousands of feet, and the echo of the call shakes the valley, which is a wonder. Jiang YuanZuo, a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty, recorded in Hengshan thatched cottage: "towering and towering, the spirit of the Xiaohan Dynasty is strong and the power is strong. Its color is similar to purple jade, and its shape is similar to Qiongtai. It has green stripes and green mosses. It can not be expected to be called qianzhangyan. Many geological experts have come here to investigate the genesis of Longmen Mountain. According to the investigation, the stone is purple red because it is rich in iron and turns purple red after oxidation.

Bailong Temple (Bailong Temple site): it is said that Bailong temple was built in memory of Bailong who protected the village. According to the records of the Secretary of history, it was built in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the war of the last century, but the remains of the short wall still exist. The scenic spot will be restored in phase II.
