Yunlong Mountain Natural Scenic Area
Yunlong Mountain gets its name from a dragon-shaped vein of land that appears and disappears in the mountain’s mist, resembling a divine dragon soaring through the clouds. The area features valleys within valleys, peaks of various shapes, caves on the summits, and interconnected cave systems—each leading to another. Lush greenery, blooming mountain flowers, chirping insects, and birdsong create a serene and picturesque landscape at every turn. The site also includes ruins such as the Water-Dripping Guanyin Temple, Hongguo Temple, and sections of the ancient Yan State Great Wall. Additionally, local legends—such as that of Liu Bowen who, according to folklore, arranged a “dragon formation” here to redirect feng shui, and the Boy Peak associated with Meng Jiangnu’s son—add an air of mystery.
Major scenic spots include the Majestic Lion Greeting Guests, the Young Lion Searching for Its Mother, Li Bai Embracing the Moon, the Immortal’s Cave, the Treasure Basin, the Reappearing Buddha’s Light, the Bówēn Dragon Formation, the Viewing Platform, and the Turtle Leading the Auspicious Elephant. The area is alive with the sounds of birds and insects, making it a truly enchanting place. The valley boasts winding, rugged peaks stretching for miles, dotted with rare flowers and plants, as well as wildlife such as pheasants, wildcats, roe deer, squirrels, and rabbits. Visitors to Yunlong Mountain can go hiking, hunting, and enjoy free fruit picking.
The area boasts rich natural surroundings, with nearby attractions including Longqing Gorge, Gu River Rafting, Pearl Spring, Yan Mountain Tianchi (Heavenly Lake), and the Water-Dripping Kettle. Within the Yunlong Mountain Natural Scenic Area, facilities such as a hunting ground, a Happy Vacation Zone, and a fruit-picking garden are available. There is also the Bermuda Valley Adventure Jungle, offering a new destination for weekend leisure and outdoor fun.
