Exploring Long Waterfall, a hidden natural gem in Jiantan Village, Hewan Town, Nanling County, Wuhu City, is like discovering a dazzling jewel on the earth. Standing at the peak of Shuilong Mountain, a vast expanse of undulating mountains unfolds before your eyes, resembling a giant dragon swimming in a sea of green. The mountains are covered with lush trees, interspersed with colorful flowers, creating a captivating natural painting. 📍 Location: Shuilong Waterfall (Nanling County, Wuhu City) ⚠ Tip: There is a parking lot🅿 near the waterfall, about 400 meters away, a 10-minute walk. If it's a weekday, there are fewer people, and vehicles can continue to the end of the cement road, which is only 100 meters from the waterfall. However, please note that the road is narrow, making turning around and passing difficult, testing driving skills. It is advisable to ask other vehicles about the situation ahead before proceeding. 【Transportation Guide】 🚘 Driving is the best way to reach Shuilong Waterfall, as it is deep in the countryside, and after entering the country road, you still need to drive on mountain roads with no public transportation. From Nanjing, the estimated driving time is about 2.5 hours. 【Travel Tips】 ❶ This is a free natural attraction, currently no tickets are required, but construction is ongoing around it, and it may charge in the future. ❷ There is a small shop next to the waterfall offering instant noodles, snacks, and drinks. ❸ Viewing the waterfall does not require climbing, and the walking distance depends on the parking spot, ranging from 100 meters to 400 meters. The road is flat and easy to walk. ❹ It is very cool in front of the waterfall, so it is recommended to wear non-slip shoes or boots. Families with children can bring an extra set of clothes just in case. ❺ There is a small lake next to the waterfall, and the stream by the lake is a great place for fishing. ❻ If you want to go creek hiking, you can refer to the route in Figure 17. The source of the creek is at the top of the mountain, with a wide creek surface. The hiking path is a wild trail, so it is recommended to wear long pants and long boots when going into the water, and go in groups for safety! ❼ You can also pick fresh raspberries this season. 【Nearby Attractions】 ▪ Luling Village 🚘 17 minutes by car A quiet little village with a clear stream running through it. Driving along the stream, shaded by green trees on both sides, feels like being in a green tunnel, very comfortable. (I will introduce more about the beautiful scenery of Luling Village in subsequent articles, it is really beautiful there!) ▪ Swallow Cave 🚘 24 minutes by car A cave full of stalactites, exploring the wonders of nature. 【Food Recommendations】 We had a meal in Luling Village, randomly choosing a street-side restaurant. The food was delicious, especially the stream fish, which was tender and tasty, almost without bones. Although the journey is long and the mountain roads are rugged, the moment you see the waterfall, all the hardships become worthwhile. The waterfall itself is not spectacular, but it is great for photography. Don't forget the small bridge next to the waterfall, which is also a great spot for photos!

Wuhu is hiding too deeply! I never expected such a stunning waterfall in a small village. Though small, it is exquisite. The water flow area is covered with thick moss. Seeing it for the first time in person, I was greatly shocked. The attraction is not big, so if you are coming from out of town just to see the waterfall, it might be a bit of a hassle. You can combine it with nearby attractions. 【About the Address】 📍Navigation: Shuilong Waterfall (Nanling County, Wuhu City) ⚠️There is a platform at the navigation point where you can park🅿️. This spot is about 400 meters from the waterfall, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk. On weekdays, when there are not many people, you can drive further ahead until the end of the cement road. This spot is only about 100 meters from the waterfall, but the road here is quite narrow, making it difficult to turn around and pass other cars. It requires good driving skills. It is recommended to check the situation of returning vehicles ahead before making a decision. 【About Transportation】 🚘Transportation: Self-driving (since it is in a village, you need to drive on mountain roads after entering the country road, there is no public transportation). It takes about 2.5 hours to drive from Nanjing. 【Travel Tips】 ❶Free natural attraction, no entrance fee. Currently, the surroundings are under construction, and it is unknown whether there will be a fee in the future. ❷There is a small shop on the platform next to the waterfall, selling instant noodles, snacks, and water. ❸If you only want to see the waterfall, there is no need to climb the mountain. The walking distance depends on where you park (100 meters to 400 meters), and the road is easy to walk. ❹It is particularly cool when you get close to the waterfall. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes or boots. If you bring children, you can bring extra clothes to prevent them from getting wet. ❺There is a small lake next to the waterfall, and you can catch fish in the stream beside the lake. ❻For stream trekking, refer to the route in picture 17. The source stream is at the top of the mountain, the stream surface is relatively wide, and the trekking path is wild. It is recommended to wear long pants and long boots for wading. Travel in groups and always prioritize safety! ❼You can still pick raspberries this season. 【Nearby Attractions】 ▪️Green Ridge Village 🚘17min A very quiet small village, with a small stream running through the entire village. Driving along the stream, the roadside is shaded by green trees, like a tunnel, very pleasant (I can't write more here, I will write a separate article later, it is really super beautiful!) ▪️Swallow Cave 🚘24min Stalactite cave 【About Food】 You can eat in Green Ridge. We randomly found a small street-side restaurant, and the food was great. The stream fish was very fresh and tender, you can eat it in one bite without spitting out the bones.

Located in Hetan Village, Nanling County, it is a one and a half hour drive from Xuancheng, and is a less popular attraction with not many people. The scenery is beautiful and cool, a great place for a weekend getaway, perfect for families to walk and play in the water. The attraction is a small waterfall that does not require an entrance fee, and there is also a reservoir below, but it is worth a visit. It is recommended to drive there, and it is best to have some driving skills. The last part is a few kilometers of rural road, just wide enough for two cars to pass. Be sure to honk when passing through curves to alert oncoming traffic. Parking: It is recommended to park as close to the scenic area as possible. We parked near the reservoir, and it took about fifteen minutes to walk to the waterfall. In fact, you can park on the side of the road at any time as you drive further in, so you don't have to walk that far. There was an unpleasant incident when parking, a female driver mistook the accelerator for the brake and came at us, which was quite shocking. Everyone, please be careful. We set off at noon, and when we arrived after 1 PM, there weren't many cars. By the time we left, cars were parked all the way down the slope, and it took about half an hour to walk in. It is suggested to visit Dagongshan Scenic Area first, and then go to the waterfall to rest, play in the water, and take beautiful photos. It is recommended to bring slippers for playing in the water, water guns, and some food and drinks to enjoy while resting on the side, which is cool and comfortable. Although there are some available near the waterfall, they are a bit expensive. Ladies, go take some beautiful photos, it's very photogenic
