What to See in Longtan Park

【Mountains】

Longtan Park is surrounded by lush green forests and mountains. The 24 peaks of Wohu Mountain, Beauty Peak and Peacock Mountain are different in shape and stand in the four valleys of a lake (Jinghu Lake) and two pools (Longtan Pool and Leitan Pool). Under the cliff of Leishan, a clear spring flooded into the "Longtan Pool" in the two mountains of Lei and Long. The clear pool water rushes into the mirror lake, and the water temperature of Leitan Pool and Longtan Pool is constant (18℃~22℃). Every winter, the water vapor is transpiration, so it is called Shuangtan Yanyu.
