Longguiyuan

　　Longguiyuan Scenic Area is part of the Da’anyuan Scenic Area in Wuyishan. The area has an exceptionally high concentration of negative oxygen ions in the air, earning it the reputation of a “natural oxygen bar.” Following a trail that winds down through the forest, you’ll soon reach the valley floor of Longguiyuan. Two waterfalls, each over 30 meters high, cascade down. According to our guide, the left waterfall resembles a white dragon soaring through the air, while the right one looks like a phoenix, hence the name “Dragon and Phoenix Waterfall.” It is said that the water source for these waterfalls comes from Huanggang Mountain, which stands at an elevation of 2,158 meters and is known as the “Roof of East China,” making the water highly pristine.

　　Wandering along the water-friendly plank walkways in the canyon feels like strolling through a gallery of traditional Chinese landscape paintings. Along the way, you can admire unique flora such as white-flowered loropetalum forests and wild orchids. As for the pools and shallows—like Jingxin Pool, Mother and Son Pool, and Red Army Pool—they are a feast for the eyes. Especially captivating are the Dragon and Phoenix Waterfall and the Flying Dragon Waterfall, which plummet from the sky, creating a symphony of life that is utterly genuine, pure, virtuous, and beautiful.
