Bailong Temple is located in Hengshanqiao Town, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, south of the Yangtze River and north of Taihu Lake. Get off at the Hengshanqiao crossing of Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway. The temple faces south and is built against the mountain. Surrounded by mountains and waters, with pavilions and towers, it has extraordinary momentum. There are birds singing and flowers fragrant in all seasons.
There are many natural landscapes here. Before the Han Dynasty, there were traces of yellow cats spitting gold in the daytime and silver at night on Huangmaoling. There is the Ascension Platform in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the Jin Dynasty, there are inner and outer Longtan formed by Cao Heng’s fight with snakes. In the Song Dynasty, there are sacred traces of the White Dragon Lady such as Longjing. The temple is rich in plants. Various ancient trees such as ancient boxwood, ancient nandina domestica and ancient osmanthus trees are lush. In front of the hall, there are two thousand-year-old ancient ginkgo trees (also known as love harmony trees). The tree bodies are towering straight into the sky and the tree trunks are thick. Five big cherry trees are fruitful and fragrant every autumn. An ancient magnolia tree over 300 years old has a straight trunk. In early spring, silver flowers are in full bloom and the fragrance spreads for several miles. Unfortunately, due to its long history and exhaustion of elegance, it finally ended perfectly this year. The sculpture of the White Dragon Lady in the inner Longtan is vivid. The Taiji yin-yang ball rotates magically. The water in the pool is clear to the bottom. Fish and shrimp are playing. Looking at the mountains from a distance, there is color. Listening to the water closely, there is no sound. People stroll in the temple and a feeling of returning to nature arises spontaneously. From the first to the third day of August every year, it is said that the dragon son will definitely return to Bailong Temple in Hengshan to visit his mother. Therefore, within a radius of dozens of miles, it is very lively. There are three days of opera performances in the temple to celebrate, which is now the temple fair of Hengshanqiao.
