Wulong River, this 58-kilometer-long green ribbon, originates from the mysterious Tianchi Ridge at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, bordering Hubei and Shaanxi. Its name comes from the Taoist legend of 'Five Dragons Holding the Saint,' symbolizing the auspicious and sacred gathering of five dragons. The river flows continuously throughout the year, with clear and transparent water, stable as ever, making it a dazzling pearl in the upper reaches of the 'Qixi' Milky Way. Here, the valleys are deep, the river water is clear, the mountains are magnificent, and the beauty of the five dragons intertwines with the spiritual aura of the Tao, creating mesmerizing natural landscapes. Within the scenic area, the five major valleys - Tianle Valley, Feilong Valley, Zhinu Valley, Fengshen Valley, and Wangyou Valley - complement each other, with deep gorges, interdependent mountains and waters, and majestic momentum. The primitive forest vegetation, lush trees, peculiar rocks, babbling streams, and spectacular waterfalls form over a hundred breathtaking scenic spots. Wulong River is a tourist destination suitable for all seasons. In spring, flowers bloom in abundance, and the garden is full of spring colors; in summer, the green water is leisurely and cool; in autumn, the red leaves are like fire, and the forests are dyed; in winter, the snow is white, and the landscape is wrapped in silver. Among them, Zhinu Valley is particularly captivating. From Sanqing Pool to Juxian Pavilion, the 2-kilometer-long gorge is deep, with overlapping peaks, connected waterfalls and pools, and rippling green water. It is said that the weaving girl once bathed here, hence the name 'Zhinu Valley.' The valley is rich in landscapes, including the Weaving Girl's Bath, the Divine Ox Resting Beach, the Magpie Bridge, the Reed Flower Pond (Cowherd's Pasture), the Lobster Playing in Water, the Golden Frog Meditating, the Juxian Bridge, the Scripture Stone, and the Juxian Pavilion, each filled with mysterious colors and romantic atmosphere.

Wulong River Scenic Area Wulong River is named after the five dragons that gave birth to the Taoist legend of "Five Dragons Holding the Saint". It is auspicious because of the five dragons, famous because of the Taoist immortals, sacred because of the ancient apes, and elegant because of its strangeness and beauty. The depth of the valley and the clarity of the river are so refreshing and breathtaking. It is a well-deserved paradise on earth for leisure and vacation, scientific exploration, photography and painting, poetry writing, spiritual practice and returning to nature, and is known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou of China" and the "Pure Natural Oxygen Bar". There is such a treasure place in Shiyan, which is known as the Little Jiuzhaigou of Hubei. The first time I went there was in April 2020. I was traveling to Wudang Mountain. I came to Wulong River in Yunxi County on the recommendation of a friend. I didn’t have much hope at first, so I just took a walk. I didn’t expect it to be extraordinary! Source scenic spot: The whole scenic area is relatively large, and you walk along the river the whole way. There is also a glass sky bridge in the scenic area (this needs to be paid separately, and I didn’t go up). The river water in the scenic area is really green (this shocked me), just like Jiuzhaigou, and you can play in the water in the scenic area, which is quite comfortable. I suggest you go there in summer, the scenery is still very good! Time for the tour: It takes about five or six hours to walk the whole way Tickets: The scenic spot ticket is about 60 yuan, and the scenic spot transportation bus is about 20 yuan. Transportation: The scenic spot is in Anjiaxiang, Yunxi County, Shiyan City (you can take a taxi to the scenic spot from Yunxi County, the cost is about 20 yuan per person) This scenic spot is more suitable for visiting Wudang Mountain after visiting Shiyan. If you want to play other things, you can go there. If you go there specifically, it may not be worth it. However, there are many scenic spots in Shiyan, which can be connected with Wudang Mountain, Danjiangkou Reservoir, and Dinosaur Egg Reserve. Where to go for summer vacation in summer, the first recommendation is Wulong River, which is known as China's Little Jiuzhaigou and a pure natural oxygen bar. The above pictures are from today’s actual shooting. Students taking the college entrance examination during the summer vacation can enjoy free tickets, but they need to buy B insurance and half-price tickets.

I went to Manchuan Ancient Town on Saturday at noon. The ancient towns all felt the same. The next day I went to Wulong River. It is friendly to the elderly and children. There is no need to climb mountains. There are more flat roads. You can quickly reach the big waterfall in the center and walk under the waterfall!! It is simply amazing. You can also row a boat. There is also a place for children to play in the water at the back. You can bring water guns in advance. Food: You must eat special food when you arrive at the local area. I ate it at Shaanxi Courtyard at noon on the first day. I have to say that the amount of food is really enough. I ordered four large and one small dishes and was very full. The konjac is good. The soup has a lot of meat. The children ate a lot. Each valley here has its own characteristics. The clear river flows in the green canyon and the trees are lush and verdant, as if you are in a natural forest oxygen bar. Among them, Jiutian Waterfall is the most magnificent artificial waterfall in Wulong River Scenic Area. The 24-meter-high waterfall cascades down from the top of the mountain like a huge piece of white silk. Standing under the waterfall, the mist is everywhere, and it is cool and pleasant. Tips: 1 You can take the scenic area bus to the upper reaches and then go downstream, or you can take the bus to the lower reaches and then go upstream. When entering the scenic area, pay attention to the latest return bus time. 2 Enter the scenic area, there is a walking path, or you can take a sightseeing electric car. The whole journey takes about three hours. 3There are many places worth visiting around the Wulon River Scenic Area.
