The sky was hazy, and I was also drowsy from sleep. In a trance, I unknowingly arrived at an unknown and magical place.

With tired eyes, I got out of the car. As soon as I stepped out, a beautiful and gentle tour guide came running over enthusiastically and patiently explained our itinerary to us. Meanwhile, I was rubbing my half-asleep, half-awake eyes with my hands. Before I could finish rubbing them, the guide led us into the first part of today's activities.

The moment I stepped into the Longgong Scenic Area, I was completely stunned. My half-opened eyes suddenly became bright and wide, as if afraid of missing something. Meanwhile, my sleeping body seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, becoming extremely energetic. My entire body couldn't help but rush up to those "dragons" and gently, carefully admire them. And around the dragons were clear and transparent rivers, tightly surrounding them. It seemed that these dragons were both in and out of the water.

Before I could fully appreciate this beautiful scene, another one, which I call "fish and dragons playing in the water", appeared before my eyes. So,

I had no choice but to reluctantly leave the previous beautiful scene and come to this place where dragons lie in the water and fish swim around them. From a distance, the dragon sways its body, accompanied by all kinds of aquatic creatures. It's truly a beautiful and harmonious picture!

The beautiful scenery ahead seemed to have a gravitational pull, making it impossible for me to stop. I was running through this breathtaking landscape, and it was simply delightful. Because the morning sunlight was still filtering through the branches and falling on the quiet path like twinkling stars. However, the lanterns hanging by the roadside seemed to be afraid that all these pearls would be claimed by passers-by, so they all pushed their bodies towards the center of the road to catch those pearls.

While I was still lost in the beauty of this pearl-like scenery, suddenly a loud rumbling sound startled me. When I looked up, what appeared before my eyes were four huge dragons and the large waterfall behind them. That sound was the noise made by the waterfall, and people called this waterfall the Dragon Gate Waterfall. The waterfall was magnificent, with water flowing down from the cliff forming a thin layer of white veil, making the waterfall look like a shy yet elegant beauty. And the four dragons were lying in front of the waterfall, as if they were four loyal bodyguards protecting the waterfall.

After enjoying this waterfall, we went into an elevator. Pressing the button, the elevator slowly rose, and the view became much broader. All the scenes we had seen before were now in full view, forming a well-structured picture, extremely exquisite. Bang! The elevator stopped, the door opened, and people came out one after another. I was no exception. When I reached the outside, the scene before my eyes astonished me. Every scene and object was so elegant and unique. Passing through the unique corridor and entering the charming pavilion, I took a rest. Listening to the melodious songs of the birds in the mountains, the gentle breeze blew, and the faint, sweet fragrance of flowers wafted towards me. I felt extremely relaxed.

After taking a short break and walking down from the pavilion, now before us is the area surrounding the small wooden house, where colorful flowers are blooming, presenting a beautiful and serene scene. Turning around, we can see a Heavenly Pool. The water in the pool is exceptionally clear and refreshing. The cliff walls around it are covered with lush trees. People are playing and chatting in the pool, and occasionally, echoes can be heard reverberating among the surrounding cliff walls. This place is truly a fairyland on earth!

Taking a small boat and slowly navigating from Tianchi into Longgong, the interior of Longgong is full of spectacular scenes. The stalactites are bizarre and look as if they were carved by knives or axes. The pool is deep and the water is murky, with twists and turns that are mysterious and enchanting. Due to the illumination of various lights, the landscape of Longgong takes on a unique charm. Wandering through Longgong feels like traveling through a time tunnel. Occasionally, some naughty little dragons would float into view, hopping here and there, as if excited about your arrival. Of course

Those fish are also restless and always appear beside you, giving you the illusion that you are swimming in the ocean depths.

Passing through the natural medicinal valley in front of the Dragon Palace, which is like an idyllic paradise, the valley is filled with blooming flowers and fragrant herbs. Butterflies dance and birds chirp among the flowers, while the medicinal fragrance spreads everywhere. The streams are clear and the water is sweet. It forms a new world even more beautiful than the Tao Yuanming's described Potala Garden. Walking among the medicinal plants in the valley, you will feel a sense of relaxation and joy. After passing through the valley, you will find yourself in the largest cave Buddhist temple in China - the Guanyin Cave! This cave is a natural karst cave, which is spacious and bright. There are many large Buddhas inside the cave, and these Buddhas protect the people here, making them healthy and the land peaceful. In front of the cave is a wide and beautiful countryside and a harmonious small village. The villagers have a good sense of community and are very kind and simple. This place is truly beautiful with mountains, water, and people all being beautiful!

As we stepped out of Guanyin Cave, the beautiful scene of the swirling pond with its constantly rotating water in a circular motion immediately captured our attention. The pond was surrounded by lush green bamboo, encircling the entire area like a protective apron. What was even more astonishing was that the water in the pond rotated counterclockwise along the tangent direction and in a clockwise direction, flowing through a natural funnel at the bottom of the pond and entering the underground river. After viewing the swirling pond, the tour guide led us to the last stop of our tour today - Taizi Village, the most beautiful leisure village in China. The village was well-organized, the environment was beautiful, and the local atmosphere was warm. A small river flowed through the village, truly embodying the scene of "a small bridge, flowing water, and people's homes"!

Time flies by, and it's already afternoon. But I am so reluctant to part. When it was almost getting dark, I felt as if I and the Dragon Palace were like a pair of inseparable lovers about to part ways. I was so reluctant. Because the Dragon Palace is a place where all the beautiful scenes of the world gather; because the Dragon Palace is a quiet and elegant place; because the Dragon Palace is an immortal wonder of Chinese dragon culture; because the Dragon Palace is a place where the mountains are beautiful and the people are even more beautiful!
