Last updated 2026-11-14 — In the Dragon Palace, the sky vault rises once again, and the scenery of Dragon Ridge ascends step by step. "Heaven and Earth Intersect in Harmony" — the stalagmites on the ground and the hanging stalactites above seem to be about to meet, separated by just a palm's width, commonly known as "Heavenly Needle Meets Earthly Needle." Scientific analysis suggests that this formation took hundreds of millions of years to develop, and it will take another hundreds of millions of years for the two needles to touch… Both the Heavenly Needle and the Earthly Needle flaunt their grandeur and splendor, exuding a sense of deep affection and reluctance to part. On Dragon Ridge, piles of wheat-like formations rise like mountains, with individual grains and awns clearly visible. The massive "Wheat Pile Mountain" is adorned with gold and silver, studded with pearls and jade, displaying both majestic and delicate beauty. "Holding the Pagoda to Support the Sky" offers yet another unique charm — a towering pillar rises abruptly from the ground, clad in armor from head to toe, strikingly beautiful and magnificent. On the descent, the hanging canopy stretches uninterrupted. The canopy is hung with rows of upside-down golden snakes, each following the other, forming a stunning embellishment. Further along the upward-curving path, five stone pillars can be seen, resembling white jade carvings, each with a distinct shape, hence named "Five Sacred Mountains Facing the Sky." Descending from here leads to a flat area called "Crouching Dragon Dam." The Crouching Dragon Dam is the dwelling place of the Dragon Palace family. A pair of symmetrical cave openings, full of vitality, are regarded as the dragon’s eyes. The Crouching Dragon Dam is vast and open, with nothing overhead. Lifelike and exquisitely crafted as if by divine hands, two giant dragons are coiled in the dam, with raised dragon spines, dazzling scales, and golden bodies.
