Interesting Heilongtan Heilongtan is a place that particularly tests physical strength and endurance. The steep canyon winds upwards, the spring water accompanies the small stream all the way, making climbing extraordinarily wonderful, refreshing, and when tired, just sit down by the stream, barefoot in the water, and soon there will be small fish pecking at your feet, which is very interesting. The canyon is lush and extremely cool, although it is always going up, but the unique scenery will not make climbing feel tired, when you reach the top of the mountain, you will find... only a glimpse of it will amaze the time!
