Longmen waterfall

Longmen waterfall is a typical karst dark waterfall, with a height of 50 meters, a height of 38 meters and a width of 25 meters. It is the largest karst cave waterfall in China.

1、 Erjin Dragon Palace is known as the longest and most beautiful water cave in China. It is one of the three wonders of the Dragon Palace. It winds under the strange peaks and valleys of the Dragon Palace, which can be called one of the best. One of them is 840 meters long, which is composed of five parts: Dragon welcoming hall, relief mural hall, five dragon treasure protection hall, Crystal Palace, and Gaoxia Yougu palace. You can take a boat to walk through the dark river of the cave. The gorgeous scenery in the cave above you is like the gorgeous night sky, reflecting the calm water.

The landscape in the cave is rough, the bell and breast are grotesque, like a knife or an axe, the pool is deep and deep, winding and mysterious, and the water screen movie is bizarre.

2、 Three wonders of Dragon Palace

The wonder of swirling water (swirling pond)

More short rivers (short rivers, regional karst landforms)

The giant of single Chinese characters (longzitian)

Xuantang

Xuantang is a typical karst funnel landform, with a diameter of 101 meters and an area of 8012 square meters. It is connected with tongxuanxiaohe river. The water in the pond rotates clockwise along the tangent direction of the pond without taking advantage of the wind and day and night. It sneaks into the underground river from the natural funnel at the bottom of the pond and flows out from the water bamboo source due to the height difference, forming the Dragon Palace spectacle of "mountain does not turn to water" and "one water on both sides".

Short River, regional karst landform

Longgong scenic spot is located in the center of South China karst, the largest karst area in the world.

Within the core scenic area of 18 square kilometers, there are more than 90 large and small karst caves, which are unique in the world. Because a large number of soluble carbonate rocks are widely exposed on the surface, and the vertical distribution also accounts for a large proportion, the regional geological structure is very complex. It is the most mature and concentrated karst landform, and the most typical karst landscape area. It is the so-called "world karst, all in the Dragon Palace".

In addition, Longgong is located in the south edge of subtropical humid monsoon climate, with good water and heat conditions, forming many rivers that pass through the scenic area. The rivers erode and cut the plateau surface, aggravating the ups and downs of the plateau terrain. Because "water comes from the mountains and flows to the mountains", tongxuan River, baibuyuan River and Rulai River are the three shortest rivers in China. The river is clear and transparent, green bamboos embrace each other, boats walk on the water, people swim in the painting, as if in a fairyland on earth.

Longzitian

Longzitian adopts interplanting of two kinds of crops according to seasons. In spring, rape flowers and broad beans are Interplanted, and in autumn, black glutinous rice and ordinary rice are Interplanted. It is developed from the cursive calligraphy of huaisu, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, covering an area of more than 80000 square meters. It is the largest single Chinese character in the world. It is magnificent and shocking, just like a vivid dragon roaring out of the forest Don't let the breeze blow, when the dragon character swings with the wind.

The beautiful picture scroll of dragon character field has become one of the landmark scenic spots in Guizhou.
