scenery

There is a legend about the origin of kalonggou: a long time ago, three fairies landed in the mortal world. Because they were reluctant to leave because of the beautiful scenery of the mortal world, the elder sister and the second sister incarnated into Jiuzhai and Huanglong, and the younger sister incarnated into Kalong. The God of heaven, like the common people in the mortal world, doted on the youngest child. Therefore, Kalong gathered the charm of Jiuzhai and the dream of Huanglong.

Kalong Valley is beautiful, fresh and primitive. From low altitude to high altitude, there are mossy landforms, calcified waterfalls, primeval forests and stone forests. Calcified waterfalls are the most distinctive. Its scale is better than Huanglong, and its style is different. In autumn, the red leaves and colorful forest make the scenery charming.
