The area is characterized by caves, caverns, and waterfalls, and includes the central Longgong area, Youcai Lake, Xuantang, Qunfang Valley, and Machijing.

　　Stone Fun Garden: Also known as the Little Stone Forest of Longgong. Situated above the Longgong underground river, it features various naturally formed rock formations of different sizes and shapes, creating a unique garden of interesting stones.

　　Tianchi: A deep pool over 30 meters deep, elliptical in shape, surrounded by steep cliffs as if carved by knives. The water remains clear and azure all year round, with the shallower parts transparent enough to see the bottom. The area around the pool is covered with ancient trees that block out the sunlight.
