“Painted boats ride the wind into Yongkang, sparse flowers line the banks along a long stream, mountain waves of wheat rise green and layered, clouds streak like fish scales in a distant white haze.” These are verses written by Wen Lin, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty’s Chenghua era, during his visit to Yongkang. The landscapes of Yongkang are picturesque, and the land of Lizhou is full of scenic wonders. The Feilong Mountain Scenic Area is one of the most captivating municipal-level attractions among them.
The Feilong Mountain Scenic Area features towering peaks, stone spires reaching toward the sky, high waterfalls with splashing droplets, dense forests, and a beautiful environment. It also has many folk legends about Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, who once took refuge here to escape pursuit by Wang Mang. These stories add profound historical and cultural significance to the scenic area. Therefore, the Feilong Mountain Scenic Area not only offers beautiful natural scenery but also has rich cultural content. It is a highly valuable site for preservation, utilization, and development, as well as an excellent destination for leisure and sightseeing. Especially since it is located in the suburbs, just seven kilometers from the city center with direct road access and convenient transportation, it serves as an ideal weekend retreat for locals to return to and embrace nature.
