It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Yangzhou city center, navigate to the destination. The parking lot is right opposite the visitor center, free parking🅿️ It's recommended to buy tickets online in advance, I recommend the 75r package which includes admission➕boat ticket➕sightseeing car ticket, all in one step～ Children under six are free🆓⚠️
Scenic Route📷:
Pass through the visitor center, take a boat to the vicinity of the wild duck release point, there is a small children's amusement park where kids can let loose🎠 There are wild duck releases at 11:00 every midday and 16:00 every afternoon, if the timing is right you can watch it～ Passing through the pond cypress forest, there's also a dinosaur park, and a flower sea where you can take your kids on a small train ride through it～ Had a farmhouse meal nearby at noon, Gaoyou local dishes are quite delicious😋 After lunch, take a stroll through the camping site, there's a large lawn and roadside barbecues, bringing your own tent and lying down for an afternoon is also very comfortable😌

Let's go to Long Yuan and look for dragon elements together!
The first spot: the dragon on the colorful wall to the right of the main entrance archway
The long dragon fountain at the entrance is a must-visit photo spot
Passing through the majestic Dragon Gate, what comes into view is the powerful and profound Nine Dragons Wall relief sculpture, with the divine dragons carved so vividly that it seems as if the giant dragons will break free from the wall at any moment.
The second spot: Wulong Pavilion
Wulong Pavilion consists of five square pavilions, arranged in a scattered and orderly fashion on the water. With azure glazed tiles and deep red beams and columns, the pavilion ridges are adorned with exquisitely carved divine dragons, and the corridors wind back and forth, with richly decorated beams and painted rafters inside the Dragon Pavilion.
The third spot: Huilong Bridge
Located above the Longgang River in Long Yuan, it is a characteristic covered bridge with a history of 'the mountain being Dragon Mountain, the bridge being the Gen image, and living there brings the dragon back', hence the name Huilong Bridge.
The fourth spot: Longgang River
As Long Yuan is located next to Longgang River, a long section of the river runs within the park's area. Walking up the riverside plank road, in less than ten minutes, you can also see a winding bluestone path crossing the river surface.
The fifth spot: Longxing Temple
The most popular temple in Longgang, hidden in the park
The sixth spot: The garden is not deep, but with 'dragons', it's spiritual
As the only garden-style park in the country themed on dragon culture, Long Yuan has over 38,000 dragon sculptures, and dragon elements can be seen everywhere in the park.
The seventh spot: the round disc on the ground in the center of the entrance
In Shenzhen Longgang, the head and tail of the dragon, the park of the dragon, just looking is beautiful, it is a great place for people to go and play, this year is the Year of the Dragon, I will definitely go and have a look when I have time, may the dragon bless everyone, may all your wishes come true, may you have the spirit of the dragon and horse, may wealth flow in, and may you have smooth sailing in all directions.

Dragon Garden in the Year of the Dragon
Visiting Dragon Garden in the Dragon Year, praying for the grand dragon festival. Seeking the taste of the Spring Festival, the temple fair runs from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This year is the Jia Chen Dragon Year, and visiting Dragon Garden in the Dragon Year is endowed with more cultural significance. Perhaps this is the festive atmosphere we have always been looking for... It's even more fitting to visit Dragon Garden during the Dragon Year. (Photographed on February 14 and 16, 2024, at Dragon Garden in Linyi, Shandong)
