The heilongsi mountain forest has been better managed and renewed, and the forest area has increased to more than 36000 mu. There is a site of Heilong temple in the forest. There are two "longan springs" on the hillside not far away. No matter how dry it is, no matter how waterlogged it is. Temple monks, herding livestock and drinking water are inexhaustible.
