Longqiu Pool Scenic Area

Longqiu Pool Scenic Area

Longqiu Pool Scenic Area is a cultural relic protection unit of Anqing City.

Legend has it that the Dragon King once descended to the mortal world and bathed in a deep pool here for many days, reluctant to leave. With its peculiar peaks, strange rocks, streams, waterfalls, and stone carvings, one might say such beauty belongs only in heaven — yet Longqiu offers scenic wonders at every turn. The main attractions of the scenic area are mostly located on both sides of Bailong Stream, including the Flying Rock, Lingzhi Rock, Yangchuan (Foreign Ship) Rock, Camel Deer Rock, and Penglai Rock. The rock carvings are a major highlight of this scenic area, with inscriptions such as “The Mountain Bears the Weight of Imperial Grace” and “Too Beautiful to Leave” all carrying historical significance.
