Things to do in Longhu Mountains

I heard from the local tour guide that this place is located on the top of Xianyan Mountain. If you have the physical strength, you can climb up and take a look. When you arrive at Longhu Mountain, you will see all kinds of Taoist temples. This is also one of the birthplaces of Taoism, which broadened my horizons.

We came to the Longhu Mountain Scenic Area in Jiangxi Province to play. The Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area was the first stop after we took the sightseeing bus into the park. After checking the ticket, we needed to walk a little further inside to get there. In addition to the Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area, there are also Xiandan Box Peak, Longdan Red Cliff, Observatory, Zhengyi Xianfeng, Baisui Cave, Jinlong Water Drawing, She Village, Mask Rock and other scenic spots nearby. The Elephant Trunk Hill is located on the east side of the Luxi River. It is a lifelike and huge natural stone elephant standing in the mountain.

The most mysterious feature of Longhu Mountain is undoubtedly the ancient Yue cliff tombs. Scattered across the cliffs along the banks of the Luxi River are hundreds of caves containing coffins. Jade coffins hang precariously on the cliffs, their sheer number, precarious location, and unique shapes making them a rare sight in the world. These hanging coffins bear a heavy historical weight. According to the National Institute of Cultural Relics Protection and Research, these coffins are over 2,600 years old, dating back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods of the ancient Yue people. Archaeologists have excavated 40 coffins and 17 relatively well-preserved skeletons from the cliff tombs, along with over 220 artifacts including pottery, proto-porcelain, bamboo and wooden items, textile tools, and textiles. Today, at the Taohuazhou Scenic Area in Longhu Mountain, four coffin-raising performances are held daily, offering visitors a glimpse into this mysterious place. In addition to the coffin-raising performances, fishing demonstrations are also held. The performance times are 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, and 16:00, and watching the coffin-raising performance has become a must-do activity when visiting Longhu Mountain. Transportation: To get to Taohuazhou, you can take the scenic area shuttle bus to the Elephant Trunk Hill South Gate Station, or take a bamboo raft to Xianshuiyan Wharf, and then walk for about 20 minutes to Taohuazhou.

The bamboo rafting in Longhu Mountain is not as spectacular as that in Wuyi Mountain, but I personally feel that it is more comfortable than that in Wuyi Mountain, because the flow of people in Wuyi Mountain is too large, while the flow of people here is relatively small. Of course, you have to come earlier to avoid so many tourists. It is a good enjoyment to sit on it and enjoy the scenery of Longhu Mountain.

Zhengyi Temple is a magical place, where Taoists practice meditation and tourists take photos and check in. The incense is so popular that even gods have to queue up to get a number. It is said that the fortune here is very effective. People who draw the best fortune can't stop smiling, and people who draw the worst fortune will turn around and buy lottery tickets - it all depends on luck anyway! The funniest thing is that singles who pray for marriage only find out that they have to find their own partner after praying.

The Yuexi River Scenic Area is surrounded by green mountains and rivers, and the vegetation is very dense. It is vast and boundless, and it is full of vitality. The intersection of the stone wall by the river and the river surface reflects circles of bright ripples, and the entire water surface is like a large, smooth and bright mirror.

Take a bamboo raft westward along the Luxi River from the bamboo raft pier at the foot of Longhu Mountain, and there are more than 100 peaks within seven miles, among which the most famous are the 24 peaks called "Xianshuiyan". The mountains and water here are surrounded by the scenery, and the scenery is similar to that of the Li River in Guilin. At the end is the Fairy Rock Pier. The ticket price for bamboo rafting is included in the 260 yuan full-course tour ticket of Longhu Mountain. The Longhu Mountain Visitor Center is very advanced. Online ticket booking is the best choice, and ticket collection is super convenient. And even student and elderly discount tickets can be bought, but they need to be paid on the spot. The Xianshuiyan Scenic Area is mainly for bamboo rafting or boat tours. I personally recommend bamboo rafts, which are more hydrophilic and more comfortable in summer. You can only choose one of the boat and bamboo raft projects to visit once. The boatman will also tell you some legends and scientific knowledge about the rocks on both sides of the strait, and will also hint that the boat will pay for the explanation fee. Don't rush to answer, just follow the crowd. The performances in Xianshuiyan Scenic Area are the most worth watching in Longhushan Scenic Area. They are cormorant fishing opposite Feiyun Pavilion of Xianshuiyan at 09:48, 11:48, 13:48 and 15:48 every day, and coffin lifting performances at Xianshuiyan Pier at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 16:00 every day. Recommended attractions: "Xiantao Cannot Be Eaten" and "Xiantao Stone" are located on the banks of Luxi River in Longhushan Scenic Area, across the river from Xiannvyan. They are typical Danxia landforms composed of red gravel rock layers. The shape of this peak is like a big peach with a bite taken out. Legend has it that after Sun Wukong stole the fairy peach from the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet, he ate it while returning to Huaguo Mountain. When flying over Longhu Mountain, he accidentally dropped the fairy peach he had just bitten and turned it into a mountain peak. Of course, legends are for people's imagination, but when you watch it up close, you should really admire the ingenuity of nature, and you can also give it more imagination.

It is worth a visit. The environment is very good, the scenery is picturesque, the service attitude is also very good, and it is a different experience. Next time, I will bring more friends to play together.

This attraction is a private attraction. It is not within the Longhushan Scenic Area, but you can get there by taking a sightseeing bus. Tickets need to be purchased separately, which is cheaper online. It is a large garden. You can get off the bus when you are not there. If you go out to enter the scenic area, you must walk 500 meters to the Yuxianchi aerial plank road to take the scenic area bus. There are staff to check tickets. The whole garden is relatively large. Because it is the off-season this season, there is no one at the ticket window of the scenic area, but there are security guards. You can enter by taking a picture of your QR code. I am the only one in the entire scenic area. Although it is the off-season, the scenery is very beautiful, the lotus leaves are very large, and there are many flowers, windmills, etc. It is a famous attraction at the foot of Longhushan. The disadvantage is that it is more sunny during the day and there is no place to shade the sun, but the air environment is very good. If you have time and good physical strength, you can take a look

When you come to the scenic spot, the first thing you see is the former residence of Mr. Wu Changshuo, a great master of his generation. In front of the door, Mr. Wu Changshuo's proud disciple Wang Geyi wrote "Wu Changshuo's Former Residence" vigorously. The Changshuo Art Square in front of the door reflects the four artistic achievements of the master of his generation with "poetry, calligraphy, painting, and seal carving". Wuwen Village consists of three scenic areas: front, middle, and back. The front scenic area is dominated by canyon streams and winding paths, with towering valleys on both sides and gurgling streams at the foot of the mountain. The middle scenic area is dominated by the vast sea of ​​bamboo, which is known as a natural "oxygen bar". There is also a ten-foot-high supporting stone. According to legend, passers-by can rest on the stone to cure back pain. Wuwen Village Leisure Resort is crowded with tourists all year round. You can go outing in spring and escape the heat in summer. You can climb in autumn and watch bamboo in the snow in winter.
