Wulongtan

I heard that "Journey to the West" was filmed here, but I doubt it. It doesn't look like the Water Curtain Cave at all. It's just a small waterfall. Just take a look. I don't want to make too many comments. It's good to pass by and see it.

Wulongtan is a small scenic spot in Lushan Scenic Area. On the way from Huanglong Temple, there are two pools with waterfalls, one is Huanglongtan and the other is Wulongtan. The scenery is nice and worth visiting.

"The waterfall falls straight down three thousand feet, and it seems like the Milky Way falls from the sky." Tourists who go to Mount Lushan to see the waterfalls based on Li Bai's famous line will inevitably be disappointed, because the Xiufeng Waterfall mentioned in the poem is not within the scope of the Lushan Scenic Area, but in Xingzi County, more than 50 kilometers away from Guling Town. Generally, it is not worth the effort to go to Xiufeng Waterfall after going up the mountain from Jiujiang City. However, the waterfalls in Mount Lushan also have their own merits. In addition to the far-away Sandiequan, the small and exquisite ones are the Lushan waterfall group composed of Huanglongtan and Wulongtan waterfalls. Wulongtan in Mount Lushan is located at the bottom of Donggushanchong, sandwiched between two mountains, with a secluded stream in the middle. The water in the pool falls down in five streams from the gaps between the boulders. The pool surface is flat and not deep, and the river water is clear. It is a good place to play in the water and cool off in midsummer. According to legend, there is a black dragon in the pond, with a gentle temperament, practicing kindness, and being generous and helpful. Whenever there is a severe drought, it will spray clouds and fog for the mountains and forests, and bring down sweet rain. Therefore, it is deeply revered by the people. Every year on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the mountain people come here to worship. Huanglongtan and Wulongtan cannot be compared with other waterfalls. They are so small that they can only be described as gentle and slender, but the scenic spots are extremely quiet and cool. It is far from Guling. Take the East Line Sightseeing Bus to Lulin Parking Station. After getting off the bus, you can walk to Huanglongtan and Wulongtan along the signs.

Wulongtan and Huanglongtan are not far from each other. Unlike Huanglongtan, Wulongtan is relatively larger and the water here is faster. Wulongtan is also very quiet in winter. Sit by the water that is not frozen at all. It is a very beautiful thing to feel the breath of winter. If you look closely, you will find some animal footprints on the snow. The bamboos next to it are bent by the snow, as if they are waiting for the arrival of spring.

Wulongtan is located at the bottom of Donggu Mountain, sandwiched between two mountains, with a secluded stream in the middle and shaded by trees. A row of huge rocks more than ten feet high are arranged on the pond. They form a waterfall bed. The source of the spring comes from Changchong and the water of Lulin, which flows all year round.

The west line of Mount Lushan has several stations, including Huajing, Xianren Cave, Datianchi, and Power Station Dam. There is a small path under the cableway next to the power station dam, which leads to Wulongtan, Huanglongtan, Sanbaoshu and Lulin Bridge. Lulin Bridge is a scenic spot on the east line. You need to climb up a long way from here. Wulongtan is a pool formed by a small dam, and water flows through it to the dam. Just take a look and take some photos.
