Yunyang Dragon Jar

Chongqing 5A-level scenic spot - Yunyang Dragon Jar Longgang is located in the southeast corner of Yunyang County, about 80 kilometers away from Yunyang County, close to Lichuan City, Hubei Province, and more than 300 kilometers away from the main city of Chongqing. It is a half-day drive away and is a rare good place to go on weekends. The scenic area integrates tiankeng, caves, canyons and forests, with beautiful and unique scenery. The Yunyang County Annals of the Republic of China states: The dragon jar is called a "furnace jar" because of its straight-up and straight-down shape, like an incense burner, with purple smoke rising from time to time. However, local people said that this was the statement made by educated people. We ordinary people have always called it Dragon Jar, because Dragon Jar has a spiritual support for us Tujia people and is connected to our production and life. It is a holy place in our hearts. Therefore, there are endless dragon gate formations for the dragon jar. The Dragon Jar is an elliptical tiankeng with a long axis of 304 to 326 meters, a short axis of 178 to 183 meters and a depth of 335 meters. This depth ranks third in China and fifth in the world. The inner wall of the tiankeng is as sharp as a knife, with pines and cypresses lying across the cracks in the wall and ancient vines hanging down. The bottom of the tiankeng is green all year round and birds are singing. Because it is a natural large stone jar and there is a beautiful legend about the love between a woodcutter and a dragon girl, it is named the Dragon Jar and is known as the "No. 1 jar in the world." [HeartBeat]Overall review: The trip to Yunyang Longgang made me deeply feel the wonders of nature and the wisdom of mankind. Yunyang Longgang combines natural wonders with cultural customs and is an ideal place for adventure and leisure. The depth of the tiankeng, the thrill of the glass bridge, the fantasy of the cave and the magnificence of the canyon give people a shock of nature. Every place makes me linger and it is a unique travel experience.
