On April 24, 2016, a group of 28 of us, led by the staff of Ctrip, set off for Langgu in Anshun. We came from different schools and majors, but we shared the same identity - campus journalists. Such a trip was both exciting and somewhat nerve-wracking. We were excited to meet new people and make new friends, and also a little nervous about whether the people around us were not familiar friends and whether it would be awkward.

After a two-and-a-half-hour drive, we arrived at our destination. It was drizzling, and at first glance, it didn't seem much different from Tianhe Tan. Perhaps because it was the off-season, there weren't many people in the scenic area. We followed the tour guide all the way, so we learned a lot about the myths and legends of the Dragon Palace.

The best thing about this scenic area is that it hasn't been commercialized. There are green mountains and clear waters, and it's a place with rich culture. Maybe because many people were together, to follow the group, many of the attractions they liked were quickly passed by. They didn't delve deeply into the understanding.

During this trip, I made many new friends. Among them, there were quite a few photography experts, which made me, as a photography enthusiast, feel like I had a kindred spirit. Although we didn't know each other well, we quickly became very close because of our shared hobby. During the trip, I met an elderly man in his eighties with white hair. My companion was very enthusiastic about taking photos of the old lady and wanted to give her some photos when he came back here next time. The old lady's reply surprised us. "Don't give me those photos, give me some money instead." When I heard this reply, I felt a bit disappointed. What kind of environment could make an old man in his eighties wander around and work outside when he should be enjoying his retirement? I felt sorry for the old lady and also for our society. This was the most touching scene of this trip for me.

 Among the companions, there was a young man majoring in photography. Judging from his attire and mannerisms, he had an air of a rebellious and carefree type. However, when I saw him kneeling on the ground for a long time to take a picture of a water lily, I was also deeply moved. He would also devoutly burn incense. Such a cool appearance also hides a peaceful heart. One should not judge a person merely by their appearance; instead, one should make a comprehensive assessment of them, rather than relying on a single aspect.

The Longgong Cave is over 5,000 meters long and 850 meters of it have been developed for visitors to explore. At the bottom of the cave, with its strange rocks and crevices, everyone was amazed to see countless clear springs emerging from the cracks in the cliffs and ravines, flowing together to form a river. The stalactites on the cave ceiling and walls, magnificent and exquisite, with their reflections in the water and the beautiful light and scenery, blend together like a huge crystal dragon palace. Thus, the cave earned its name "Longgong Cave". The world is truly full of wonders. The magical and dreamlike cave river before us; the magnificent crystal dragon palace, have left people speechless and filled with praises!

In the Stone Art Garden of the Dragon Palace, you can also experience an exceptionally rich cultural atmosphere. If you have a fondness for traditional Chinese art - calligraphy, you will see some calligraphy steles of tourists and famous artists on both sides of the path, such as "Thought Not Far Away", "Spiritual Journey", "Wonders of the World", and other inscriptions.

Today, the Longgong Scenic Area in Anshun sees an increasing number of tourists every year, and the ticket revenue is very substantial. The Longgong Scenic Area has become an important asset among the scenic spots of Guizhou's natural landscapes and is a rising star among many scenic spots across China.

The Dragon Palace has many attractions, but with the limited time, it's impossible to see all of them at once. Just like the saying goes, "Half of the flowers are beautiful when they are just blooming, and half of the wine is intoxicating when it's just being consumed." We leave behind a bit of mystery and beauty, along with some thoughts and reveries. We hope to have the opportunity to visit the Dragon Palace again in the future, to relive its immortal soul and ageless arms.

Thanks to the companionship of the Ctrip partners throughout the journey. Although we were very tired when the trip ended, this experience has taught me a lot. In the future, I will participate in more such activities, make more friends, and not isolate myself.
