Pingjiang Bilongxia Sceneic Area

Bilong Gorge is located beside National Highway 106 in Zheliao Village, Pingjiang County, Hunan Province. It has very convenient transportation and is the only tourist Attraction in the central and southern regions that contains rich dragon culture. According to ancient books such as Zuo Zhuan and Shiji, Dayu's father Gun was exiled to Yushan Mountain for failing to control floods for many years. Legend has it that he later turned into a yellow dragon and hibernated in the Bitan in the valley of Zheliao Village on the southern foot of Mufu Mountain. The name "Bilong Gorge" came from this. The "Zhan family" living in Zheliao Village today is the descendant of the "Zhenguan family", a vassal of the same surname as Dayu. They are the descendants of the Xia Dynasty who disappeared mysteriously 3,600 years ago. In order to commemorate Gun, the descendants of the Zhan family built a golden dragon in the canyon. Bilong Gorge still maintains the landform landscape of ancient times, with a forest coverage rate of more than 80%, which can be called a "natural oxygen bar". The valley is full of strange rocks, deep streams and gullies, and waterfalls and waves hitting the deep pool. More than ten meters away, water mist splashes on the face from time to time, which is refreshing. The winding streams, jagged rocks, and ancient green trees form a colorful and original ecological picture of Bilong Gorge. Walking into the gorge can evoke people's endless reverie about the Xia Dynasty and wash away the dust of modern city life.
