The mountain range resembles a giant dragon lying down and stretching towards the ancient Huaxue Lake, so locals also call it "Lao Longji" (Old Dragon Ridge). 6️⃣Lvjin Lake: Huaibei Lvjin Lake Central Park is the largest artificial inner lake in a city center nationwide. It was originally a wetland park formed by coal mining subsidence. Now, after renovation, it has become Huaibei's central park. 7️⃣Qianlong Lake: Qianlong Lake Scenic Area is an important part of Huaibei's central lake ecological landscape belt.

The Sichuan-Tibet line is divided into the southern and northern sections. You can navigate to the Longji Mountain Scenic Area, but do not go straight and stop at the foot of the mountain. Pay attention to the intersection. This route requires a one-way road throughout, and there is a viewing platform. There is no cliff swing. Parking spaces are not particularly abundant, so it depends on luck. We were quite lucky to find a spot and played for a while. On the way down, you will pass through the Four Seasons Pomegranate Garden Scenic Area and the China Pomegranate Museum. There are many vendors selling pomegranate wine at the entrance. At this time, the pomegranates are frozen, and the pomegranate juice is not fresh, so do not buy it. It costs 10 yuan for a bottle of mineral water, and there is also bottled pomegranate juice. As for pomegranate wine, use your bargaining skills. A box contains six bottles, priced at 31 yuan per bottle, but you can bargain it down to 100 yuan per box and ask for a bottle of pomegranate juice as a bonus. Two people who tasted the 31-yuan-per-bottle pomegranate wine said it was relatively sweet. Continuing down from the China Pomegranate Museum, you will pass through the Wuliu Wonderland Scenic Area.
