● Old Longtan and Old Longtan Waterfall: The first focus after entering the tourist area is stone tables and stools. Planting local tree species such as Juglans mandshurica is quiet and cool. Laolongtan Waterfall falls 100 meters, which is one of the best scenic spots in Jiulongxia tourist area.
● Panlongxia is a primitive secondary forest area with dense forests. Listen to the sound of birds and feel the fun of natural ecology.
● Mountain vineyards
Using the natural growth of wild grapes, a long wild grape corridor is formed, which becomes a shade under the scorching sun in summer.
● Old Longtan
Laolongtan was carved and eroded by Longgong Waterfall. The artificial carved dragons around the pool are abstract in expression, like dikes growing on the rock wall, with clouds flying and magnificent momentum.
● Measuring deep water jacket
You can see it at the entrance of the tourist area, which is Xiangshuitan Waterfall. Xiangshuitan Waterfall is named after the waterfall falls more than 100 meters and makes a loud noise. In addition, there are secondary waterfalls in Panlongxia, and there are many waterfalls in the water rhyme.
Canyon area
Due to the broken terrain, canyons are arranged in groups, and the terrain is between Permian and Triassic, with an altitude of about 900- 1300m. It is a canyon-intensive development zone and the main tourist attraction in the tourist area. The main attractions are:
● Wolong Bay, Wolong Lake, Wolongshi, Tianjing and Tian Shu Cliff: There is an arc canyon protruding southward between Qilongxia and the service point, and the cliffs on both sides are as high as150m, which is the most magnificent section of the canyon. There is a pool at the bottom of the gorge, named Wolong Bay and Wolong Lake. There is a huge stone next to the pool, named Wolong Stone. Wolong Bay looks like a patio because the cliff is tight. Here, the quartzite layer on the canyon wall has different lithologic composition and color. After differential weathering, they formed a thick book with overlapping pages, named Tian Shu Cliff.
Longyan Corridor: On the south side of the canyon, the soft rock stratum is eroded by differences, and it is recessed into the plane corridor, with a length of more than 200 meters and a width of 3-4 meters. It is engraved with the evolution of dragons, and the dragon calligraphy of literati emperors in previous dynasties. Known as the first corridor of China.
● General closes the door to dragon female peak: between Qilongxia and Qilongxia, the canyon narrows, and the columnar cliffs on both sides stand at the gorge mouth, like two generals closing the door, hence the name. ● Guanyin Cave: Located below the south cliff of the main gorge on the west side of Jiaolong Gorge, it is nearly 20 meters higher than the bottom of the gorge, with stone steps leading to the cave, and the depth of the cave is about 20 meters. It is a cave formed by differential erosion along the joint dense zone. Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined in the cave, hence the name Guanyin Cave. The mountain opposite the cave is lotus-shaped, so it is called Lotus Mount Tai. This section of the canyon looks like a vase, so it is called Aquarius Gorge. Aquarius, Lotus Terrace and Guanyin carved in natural caves constitute a combination of scenic spots and religions. ● Three Dragons Playing with Beads and Dragon and Phoenix Bridge: There is a small "Li Zui Mountain" at the mouth of Xiaolong Gorge, with a round top like a treasure. It is located at the confluence of the Three Gorges and is called "Three Dragons Playing with Beads". There is a strong sense of image in the background of natural landscape. There are two natural bridges in the two Gorges, also known as Longfeng Bridge.
● Fire Dragon Gorge-Nine Waterfalls and Eighteen Pools: The rock walls on both sides of the main gorge, about 250 meters long above Longfeng Bridge, are more than 50 meters high and have many red sandstone layers, hence the name "Fire Dragon Gorge". At the bottom of the canyon, there are a series of waterfalls and pools, and there are many rock ridges called Jiupu Eighteen Beach, which is the most beautiful and pleasant canyon section in the tourist area. 3) Northern tourist routes and scenic spots
● Northbound tour line: Turn back from the northeast side of the western end of Huolong Gorge (the western boundary of the scenic spot) at an altitude of 1.050 meters, along the mountain plank road, through Taohuazhan, Longxiaoling and Fengmingling to Panlong Gorge, turn back to the ladder all the way along Panlong Gorge and go down to Laolongtan. The other road goes north to Panlongxia, crosses Hongyeling and returns to the barracks along the ancient post road.
● Taohualing, Taohuawu, Taohuazhan and Wing Flower Wall: A piece of natural mountain peach grows on the mountain on the north side of the west section of the North Ring Road, which blooms in spring and becomes the flower viewing landscape of the scenic spot in early spring.
● Longxiaoling and Fengmingling: Lanyunting: There is an isolated mountain bag from the north ring to the south of the middle section of Panlongxia, with an altitude of1150m. This is a beautiful place overlooking the canyon and the sea of clouds. There is a blue pavilion on the top of the mountain. Autumn Pavilion: A pavilion named Autumn Pavilion is built on Hongyeling Mountain Road for tourists to stop at the top of the mountain to watch the autumn leaves. ● Hongyeling: Located between the north side of the upper reaches of Panlong Gorge and the Triassic Waterfall Valley, there are patches of cotinus coggygria growing on the ridge, which is the place for viewing red leaves in autumn. It is a famous autumn-enjoying Momijiyama in Xingtai City and even Hebei Province.
● Jiulongquan:
In the fourth year of Jin Yonghe, Buddha Tucheng, a monk from the Western Regions, followed Xerox to Guo Xiang (Jiang Shui). One year, the spring water in Guo Xiang dried up, and the whole city was short of water, and the water also dried up. Schleswig asked Buddha Tucheng. Why water? Cheng Yue. Be a dragon today. Happy stone dragon. It means to laugh at yourself. Answer. Because dragons can't make water. So ask each other. Cheng Yue. This sincere statement is no joke. There must be a dragon in the spring. If you talk today, you will get water. I went to the fountain with disciple Fa Shou and others. Its source has been dry for a long time. If you are a conformist, you will doubt. Few people are afraid of water. Sit on the rope bed and burn benzoin. Wish a hundred words. For three days in a row, the water flowed slowly. There is a little dragon. Five or six inches long. Follow the water. Taoist priests watch the game. Cheng Yue. If this dragon is poisonous, don't go near it. There are hectares of water so big that the ditches are full. So this spring is Jiulong Spring, which will not dry up in ten thousand years.
Excerpt from a biography of a monk.
● Jiulongchi and Jiulong Pavilion: Located under Jiulongquan, they conform to the terrain trend and set the scenery on both sides of the sidewalk in a "rock-like downward flow" way, with two platforms. Each stage has a pool, and a dragon is carved on the upper stage and put into the pool. There is a pavilion in the lower platform pool, and there are nine stone dragons on the pavilion platform. The fountains of nine stone dragons spray water into the upper pool, hence the names "Jiulong Pool" and "Jiulong Pavilion".
● Peach Blossom Garden: More than 50 mu of cherry blossoms and various high-grade ornamental peach blossoms are planted artificially. Due to the temperature difference and climate, it will open around May Day, the flowering period will be longer than the peach blossom, and it will dress up the Jiulong Gorge in spring.
● Sightseeing platform: the platform beam located more than ten meters below the top door is made of artificial leveling. It is more than 60 meters long from north to south and 20 meters wide from east to west. From here, you can overlook Jiulong Gorge, and the walking path runs from the foot of the mountain to the exit of the top of the mountain.
● Grassland area at the top of the mountain: it is located on the top crib surface at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi provinces on the south side of Xinghe Highway, and the terrain is gentle and flat. At an altitude of1.300m, there are more than 10,000 mu of Pinus tabulaeformis and thousands of mu of grassland, with a wide view to the east, watching the sunrise and exploring the sea of clouds. This is a good place for vacation and camping.
● Zhiguoling Great Wall Ming Great Wall, also known as "Zhiguoling Great Wall", was built in Mingjiajing 2 1 year, namely 1542. It runs southeast and northwest, with nine steps bending eastward and then bowing to the cliff. In addition to the main city wall, there is also a secondary city wall extending from the northwest to the southeast of Guanmen, which divides the east of Guanmen into two areas. A complete gatehouse system gives people the beauty of incompleteness for tourists to mourn and visit.
● Peach blossom valley area at the top of the mountain: there are tens of thousands of acres of peach trees on the top of the mountain, which is the peach blossom resource of the Han family. In spring, a hundred flowers blossom and compete for beauty. Spring is a good place to enjoy flowers.
● Chestnut Ecological Park This scenic spot is located on the south side of the core area of Jiulong Gorge, and its scope is roughly consistent with Xipinggou Valley. It is bounded by the provincial boundary in the west, the Gushan-Yishan Jiang Shui town boundary in the south, the watershed between Zhiguolingguan-Shifuzhai Ridge Xipinggou and Jiulong Gorge in the north, and the East Balizhang Dongshan, with an area of about 13 square kilometers.
According to the Records of Xingtai County, in the Tang Dynasty, a nun named Gao Zhi came here to build the buddhist nun, and planted chestnut trees (chestnuts) around buddhist nun, meaning "benefiting the child", to pray for the Buddha to have children (boys), so the incense was more prosperous in history. Because there are many gneiss hills in the east of the scenic spot, it is suitable for chestnut trees to grow, and then it gradually spread to the mountainous area in the middle part of Taihang Mountain, becoming the ancestral root of chestnut trees in the middle part of Taihang Mountain. Nowadays, chestnut in the mountainous area of Xingtai County has become the main fruit industry and the main source of income for villagers. The villagers not only have rich experience in planting chestnut trees, but also have deep "feelings" for chestnut trees. In addition, there are many folklore in the scenic spot, such as the legend of Little White Dragon and the legend of Shifuzhai.
Jiulong Gorge is a tourist area integrating tourism, leisure, vacation and scientific research.
