Longhu Mountain is located at the southern end of Chishan Island (historically known as Lishan Island), 9 kilometers from Yuanjiang City. It lies to the west of Dongting Lake and is part of the extension of the Xuefeng Mountain range. Embracing the clear waters of the Yuan and Li Rivers, it is a place of outstanding natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, with picturesque landscapes.

Nestled against the mountain and beside the water, it boasts lush vegetation, the chirping of birds, fragrant flowers, and historic temples. It harmoniously blends natural and cultural attractions, making it an ideal destination for leisure and sightseeing.

The park covers an area of over 500 acres, offering ever-changing scenery as you walk through its spaces. Quiet woods echo with birdsong, winding paths lead to serenity, and pine forests invite you to listen to the rustling leaves. The park is home to hundreds of

species of flora and fauna, with flowers blooming in all four seasons, birds soaring through the skies, and animals roaming among the trees. Pavilions, temples, thatched cottages, wooden fences, and secluded paths are dotted throughout. The area offers tranquil environments for leisure and recreation, such as tea ceremonies, board games, fishing, water sports, and fitness activities; the dining options feature distinctive local flavors with a rustic lakeside charm.
