From the moment life becomes "life", life itself becomes a process - either traveling or reading. The body and the soul must be on the move. A desk, a chair, our souls are cleansed. A backpack, a journey, our bodies temporarily find a place to rest. When tired, frustrated, or weary, let's travel - go to the distant place we desire, escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and enjoy the green mountains, clear waters, blue sky, and white clouds. Let our bodies and souls fully experience the happiness of traveling.

In the warm spring of March, the gentle breeze brings a delightful fragrance of flowers, and the tender green grass struggles to break through the soil. The willows sway, and the branches are covered with flowers. It is a springtime full of vitality. Going for a trip is the best thing to do in such weather. In the quiet early morning, the sky is gray. After all the friends arrive, we got on the bus from Guiyang to Anshun Longgong and began our trip to Longgong. Maybe it was because we got up too early, as soon as we got on the bus, we put on our headphones, closed our eyes to take a nap, and slept and woke up along the way. Our heads would sometimes bump against the car windows. In the hazy state, we opened our eyes, and what met our eyes was a vast sea of oil-flower fields, like a golden blanket spread on both sides of the expressway, welcoming the passing travelers. Instantly, we were attracted by this golden scenery and lost all our sleepiness. Longgong is famous for its underground rivers and caves, and it integrates various karst geological landform landscapes such as dry caves, canyons, waterfalls, peak forests, cliffs, streams, and stone forests. It is the place with the most and most concentrated water and dry caves in the world. There are more than 90 large and small water and dry caves scattered here and there, including the longest and most beautiful water cave in China, the largest cave Buddha hall in China, and the largest cave waterfall in China.

The unique local scenery is highly praised by tourists as "a great wonder of nature". Amid such knowledge dissemination, there is an overwhelming excitement and anticipation for this trip, and one even wishes to fly directly to the destination.

After a journey of over two hours, the car finally stopped at Longtan Parking Lot. Passing through the commercial street full of ethnic characteristics, under the guidance of the tour guide, we arrived at Longzi Square. The sons of the old Dragon King, such as Pixiu, Taotie, and Jiezi, were sleeping beneath this land. Crossing the Transitional Xiangzhou and Minghu Bridge, we saw the nearby Longwu Bridge, which looked like two sleeping dragons, spanning the river on both banks. The Longmen Flying Waterfall poured down from above, being the largest cave-type karst waterfall in China. The high-pitched Longmen looked like a sky window carved out of the mountainside. The flowing water split the rocks, like a cluster of silver-white flowers attached to the Longmen. The natural Kashaite waterfall scenery left people in awe. After experiencing the气势 of the Longmen Flying Waterfall， we took the sightseeing elevator and arrived at the clear water Heavenly Pool. Surrounded by green trees， the water of the waterfall flowed down from here. Rowing a boat on the Heavenly Pool， experiencing the green water and green mountains， looking up at the blue sky and white clouds， it seemed that the heart really settled in this pleasant boat.

As we entered the Dragon Palace again and again, we couldn't help marveling at the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature. Entering from Tianchi by boat, the scenery before us was truly breathtaking. Scenes such as the welcoming of the dragons, relief murals, the protection of treasures by the five dragons, and the crystal palace were all magnificent. The stalactites, stone pillars, stone flowers, and stone curtains in the cave had various shapes, and the colorful lights reflected on them made the cave landscape grand and splendid. Moreover, the karst landform was peculiar and perilous, with countless shapes, and it adorned the entire Dragon Palace with a golden and brilliant appearance. With the splendid cave wonders above our heads, complemented by the reflections in the water below, it was truly awe-inspiring. In the second visit to the Dragon Palace, the bizarre stalactite scenes were like being carved by sharp tools, flowing through the starry and colorful "time tunnel", and were hard to leave. Besides the wonderful water-soluble cave scenery, there was also the natural landscape surrounded by mountains. In the valley where water meets mountains, a natural medicinal valley was formed. Of course, there was also the largest cave-based Buddhist temple in China - Guanyin Cave. The cave was over 60 meters high and was a semi-open and semi-spreading dry cave. The Maitreya Hall, Guanyin Hall, and Great Buddha Hall were all natural caves.

The phenomenon of water swirling around the mountains is truly a remarkable spectacle. The whirlpool pond has the typical Karakost funnel style. Without the assistance of wind power, the water rotates clockwise along the pond's line. From the bottom of the pond, it naturally leaks into the underground river. Due to the varying heights, the water flows separately to the left and right, creating the "mountain does not turn but water turns" and "one water divides into two sides" wonders of the Dragon Palace. During the rainy season of the Dragon Boat Festival, it is even more suitable for visiting. The most unforgettable part of the entire trip is the breathtaking "dragon character field", where a huge traditional Chinese character "dragon" formed by intercropping rape flowers and beans is clearly visible. Look, that vast field of rape flowers resembles a golden sea, swaying with the wind. I can't help but rush towards the flower field. The flowers emit a charming fragrance, making one unable to help lowering their head to gently touch them. One strolls in the sea of flowers, surrounded by the fragrance of the flowers. At this moment, all the troubles are left behind. This moment is the most enjoyable when life is peaceful and tranquil. This moment is solely for the soul to rest and the body to relax.

In the blink of an eye, the four-and-a-half-hour trip to the Dragon Palace was coming to an end. Walking among the green mountains and clear waters, it made me slow down my pursuit. The exquisite and magnificent cave wonders of the Dragon Palace, the magnificent flying waterfalls, the breathtaking dragon-shaped fields... all these beautiful scenes were so captivating that I couldn't help lingering and not wanting to move my gaze, not wanting to shift my feet, and not wanting to board the return train. The trip to the Dragon Palace also left an unforgettable bright spot in my life journey.
