Huangpu River Source Longwang Mountain

　　    Huangpu River Source Longwang Mountain features abundant natural landscapes including primitive forests, rugged peaks, streams, and crystal-clear pools, as well as ecological resources with fresh air, pure water, and tranquil environments, plus cultural attractions such as mountain-water scenery, historical relics, and mythological legends. Its characteristics—lush, wild, clear, perilous, elegant, and vast—combine to form the unique “Nine Scenic Spots of Longwang”: Huangpu River Source, Pine Peak Chasm, Secluded Valley and Fairy Trails, among others.

　　    Introduction

　　    The source of the Huangpu River is located within the Longwang Mountain Nature Reserve in Anji, Zhejiang. Its main peak stands at an elevation of 1,587.4 meters, making it the highest peak in northern Zhejiang and the Yangtze River Delta region of East China.

　　    Here, clouds and mist shroud the undulating mountain ranges, a grand canyon stretching over twenty li, steep and majestic peaks, deep primeval forests, spectacular waterfalls, blooming azaleas, vast sea of clouds, and magnificent sunrises—“a masterpiece of nature where countless streams converge to form the source of the Huangpu.”

　　    At an altitude of 1,350 meters lies a natural historical heritage: a thousand-acre alpine swamp, a geological wonder and a rare natural spectacle in the subtropical zone. Enter the Dragon Gate, explore the source, stay in the mountain lodge, and admire the beautiful scenery. You can enjoy azaleas in spring, sea of clouds in summer, scenic views in autumn, and snowscapes in winter. Explore the source, venture into the wild, wander through deep valleys, gaze at emerald pools, and listen to the refreshing sounds of clear springs gushing from cracks in the mountainside and crashing against rocks. Discover glacial relics, ancient trees, rare plants, and uniquely shaped peaks—each viewed from different angles resembling a dragon, a gate, a tiger, a turtle, or even a deity. Among the towering peaks is one that is vertically split, known as the Immortal’s Sawed Board. Each bend reveals a new scene, breathtakingly beautiful and soul-refreshing. Ascend to the summit of Longwang Mountain, and standing atop it feels like “the mountain may be at its peak, but I am the peak.”
