Black Dragon Pool

There is a deep black hole on the path on the left side of zangma mountain, which is called "black dragon pool". Heilongtan is a natural deep pool with a width of 6 meters and a depth of 2 meters. There are two big stones covering the upper part of the pool, and the surrounding rocks are full of water rolling stones. The pool is filled with water all the year round. The bottom of the sand and stone forms a water drop on the river above, making a sound, which can reach 100 meters away. The water flows from the two streams on the top of the mountain. It flows for a long time and does not dry up in severe drought.

Black Dragon Pool

Heilongtan is located in a 4 km long gorge with a water level drop of 220 meters to the north of lupiguan, Shicheng Town, Miyun District, 100 km away from Beijing. Eighteen famous pools, such as spring flowers, autumn moon, Pingsha, wild geese, song, fold, sink and hanging pool, are scattered in the deep and exciting gorge.

geographical environment

This gorge is commonly known as guluyu. It is long and winding. The two walls of the gorge are steep and towering, and the peaks are overlapping. Three waterfalls and eighteen pools run through it. People's evaluation of Heilongtan is new, strange and dangerous. In the eight mile long valley, there are so many waterfalls, which are unparalleled in the suburbs of Beijing. From the beginning to the end, it is novel everywhere, and there is no sense of repetition. As soon as you enter Tantou, you will be introduced to the leisure area of Qiongshan, making people happy and happy. Tongtian waterfall is vertical and steep. Its wall is as sharp as a knife. The waterfall more than 50 meters high seems to fall from the sky. The mist rises and fills the valley with cold air. Luoyan lake is formed by the impact of Tongtian waterfall. It is wide and deep, with a water surface of more than 100 square meters and a water depth of 34 meters. In addition, the terrain is relatively open, surrounded by mountains, beautiful scenery, river pebbles, flowers and weeds. Whenever early spring or winter is near, geese come here to settle down and drink water for food, so it is called "luoyantan". The canyon is deep, and all the natural scenery claims to be interesting. The uncanny craftsmanship of nature has carved this canyon into an extraordinary and mysterious landscape. Waterfall Longtan is both magnificent and dangerous. The waterfall roars, the water whirls rapidly, the peak and cliff are steep, the valley is deep and the road is narrow. When you climb the ladder and walk on the bridge, you can enjoy the scenery from the danger. The tourists are willing to "take the risk" to face the danger and appreciate the charm of the danger. The danger adds strength to the tourists, which is far less than the feeling that the real pool is not a hero.

Main attractions

Heilongtou Lake

It is the gateway of three waterfalls and eighteen pools, located 100 meters to the west of Daguan bridge. Walk along the stream for three minutes and you'll be under toutan waterfall. The waterfall is more than 30 meters high, with a 130 cm high cliff in the middle. The water waves in the torrent, and then turns straight down into the deep pool. The pool area is about 50 square meters, and the deepest part is about 3 meters. The entrance of the waterfall is in the shape of moon gate. The rock on the south side is bow shaped, like a knife. There is a dragon head rock on the top. On the cliff on the north side is an old tiger stone, so there is a legend of "dragon guarding the gate".

Pearl string

On the top of Longxi lake is a large area of rock cliffs with a 90 degree inclination. Ten thousand years of running water washes out a white channel. The channel is impacted into three caves by the torrent. The deep wall of the pool is slippery, and the water rolls out from the pool. People call it "tornado body". A waterfall connects three deep pools and forms a string, so it is also called "pearl string". The waterfall, pearl string and tornado body of Longxi Lake form a whole, and the fall of three lakes forms three cascades. The scenery here is wonderful, which can be regarded as one of the Black Dragon Lake scenery.

Hanging pool and sinking pool

The two pools are about 5 meters apart from each other. The stone walls of the two pools are built with small water depth. The water flows out of the stone crevice with a drop of only 3 meters. Chentan is composed of Banbi rock and Banbi river beach. There are overflow slopes on the top and flowers and plants on the bottom. The two pools are closely related to each other.

Luoyantan waterfall

Tongtian waterfall is vertical and steep. Its wall is as sharp as a knife. The waterfall more than 50 meters high seems to fall from the sky. The haze rises and fills the valley with cold air. Luoyan pond is formed by the impact of Tongtian waterfall. The pond is wide and deep. The water surface is more than 100 square meters, and the water depth is 3-4 meters. The terrain here is relatively open, surrounded by peaks, beautiful mountains and rivers, crisscross river beaches, lush mountains, flowers and weeds. Whenever the early spring or winter temporary, geese to settle here, it is "luoyantan" said. On the north side of Luoyan lake, in the middle of the steep slope leading to the top of Tongtian waterfall, there is a 15 meter deep stone cave, which can accommodate 100 people. From the entrance to the exit, a 38 step passageway, also known as "Tongtian cave", is built. Climb over the Tongtian cave, climb up the 5-meter-long "Overpass", and look down to have a panoramic view of Luoyan lake and Tongtian waterfall.

Pingshatan

The water from the pool flows slowly into a big pot like pool on a 30 degree slope 5 meters away. The water surface is about 8 square meters, and the deepest is no more than 3 meters. Because the water surface is smooth and clear, it is called "pingshatan". There is a narrow gully on the south side of pingshatan, which only allows one person to pass through. It is called "yixiantian". The north peak is a thousand meter cliff. It is as black as the bottom of a pot. It is called "black half sky".

Qutan

From pingshatan to Yanxi, suddenly the canyon road is narrow, and the two mountains almost collide. Only a two meter wide passage flashed out at the foot of the mountain. The spring water flows under the cliff root, and people can only walk through the 10 cm wide cliff ridge in the middle of a cliff crack. "Longmen" is engraved on the northern cliff. Qutan is located at the narrowest base of the two cliffs, with three bends and nine bends. It is about 9 meters long and less than 60 cm wide. Visitors can feel thrilling when passing through it.

Hedgehog stone in sandiantan

After the Dragon cleaves the stone, there are three pools within 50 meters. The three pools are scattered, just like three dragon girls dancing with each other. On the southeast side of the sandiao pool, there is a lonely giant master stone, with a high forehead and sharp mouth, squatting on a flat stone, with stone flowers and plants growing on its back. It looks like a lifelike hedgehog.

Dragon play pool

The water is rolling down from the steep wall with a height of 100 meters, and the waterfall is flying in the air. Its sound is like thunder and smoke. Because the waterfall is like a silver dragon in the air, it is called "dragon play pool". The south peak has Phoenix Terrace, the north peak has Dragonfly top, and there is a huge stone beside the pool, which is called "incarnation stone".

Drip pool and reed pool

The two pools are close to each other. The stream flows into the rock wall of the mountain and drips water from the crevice to form a pool. The upstream of dishuitan is a reed pond with small water depth. There are dense reeds on the edge of the mouth of the pond, so it is named "reed pond".

Bottomless pool

Among the cliffs, nature chisels a rectangular cave out of granite, which is unfathomable. The water in the pool is green, like a huge stone box without a cover. The bottom of the stone box is small, with a light edge. No one has ever gone down. I don't know how deep it is, so it is called "bottomless pool".

Heilongzhentan

The word "Zhen" in Heilongtan is added to distinguish other pools. The landscape of zhentan is extremely wonderful, ranking first among the 18 pools. The body of the pool is hidden under the rocks. The mouth of the pool is hidden between the cliffs. It looks like a pearl hidden in the shell of a clam. The pool is like a porcelain jar, with smooth walls, round mouth, big belly and flat bottom. The water is dark green and unfathomable. The South radius of TANKOU is an oval cave wall, and the North radius is a dense cliff. Water falls down from a dangerous cliff more than five feet high. In the middle of the cliff is a slit, which is less than one meter wide and tens of meters long. In the slit, there are two small pools, one is called "spring flower pool" and the other is called "autumn moon pool". The two pools are like two shy girls hiding in the boudoir Pavilion. Visitors need to see the whole picture of the two pools until the spring and autumn of each year.

Legend of Heilongtan

In ancient times, an imperial envoy came here. When he saw the black dragon pool, he ordered it to be filled up without any reason. When the first big stone was put down, the water in the pool became turbulent. A turtle head with the size of a small basin protruded out of the water. The Minister of Imperial Envoys put down the second stone. The water in the pool rose and a turtle head with the size of a water tank protruded out of the water. The imperial envoy, who did not know the height of the heaven and the earth, put down the third stone. The water in the pool was surging. The bottom of the pool was thundering. A stream of black water rose into the sky, and a black dragon billowed in the thick clouds.

Just now, the bold imperial envoy turned around and ran away. A dark cloud kept on chasing him, and the hailstones big of chestnuts were smashing down. At this time, the imperial envoy promised to build a dragon king temple for the black dragon. It was not easy for him to escape. The black cloud floated back slowly and fell into the pool, and the water became stable and black green again. Today, the site of Longwang temple, on the top of zhentan, has been restored.

Often with green cliff hanging water, experienced the vicissitudes of the world. Thousands of years later, today, the Black Dragon Lake ushered in countless visitors.

When I came to zhentan, I didn't finish seeing the wonderful scenery. There are two small pools above zhentan. It's called chunhuatan. In late spring, the stream brings many fallen flowers, which are always floating in the pool. The one below is called Qiuyue pool. In late autumn, you can catch the old oak tree on the cliff and overlook the bright moon in the pool.

The area of Heilongtan and zhenzhuchuan brings together the most magnificent and spectacular scenery of Heilongtan natural scenic spot.

In midsummer, outside the canyon, the sun is scorching and the heat is pressing. In the canyon, there is shade everywhere and cool wind. On the edge of the pool, the smooth rocks and soil, the towering mountains, the ancient Great Wall and the splendid mountain flowers all melt into the mirror like pool water.

In ancient times, Li Sheng failed in many tests. One year he went to Beijing and failed in the exam. He was very disappointed and went to the outskirts of Beijing to relax. In the market of a small town, I saw a fisherman selling a huge black carp, which had just been arrested and was dying. Li Sheng moved compassion and bought the fish. He filled the large wooden basin for bathing in the inn with water and put the carp in the basin. After a while, the fish lived
