Longwan Tan National Forest Park, not far from Shiwei Rock, is a newly developed scenic spot along the Nanxi River. It has lush forests, beautiful waterfalls, and deep pools. If you are looking for a less known, less crowded, yet truly worthwhile place to get close to nature, Longwan Tan is an excellent choice. The main attractions are the numerous waterfalls of various sizes formed by a continuous stream in the mountains.
After entering the scenic area and walking along a section of water steps, you begin to tour along the path beside the stream. You will successively encounter the Yinchuan Waterfall, where the flow of water forms a ‘Chuan’ character, the Lianhua Waterfall beneath the suspension bridge, and the Zheshan Waterfall, as well as the Dongzhong Waterfall that bursts out from a rock crevice, among others. These waterfalls have diverse shapes and provide a refreshing experience in the summer. While seeking out the waterfalls, you can also see rocks shaped like a golden turtle playing in the water, a panda admiring the moon, and a one-finger Guanyin, among other uniquely shaped stones.
Approaching the rock formation known as ‘Eagle Spreading Wings,’ directly in front of you is the last fold of the seven-tier Longwan Waterfall, with the Longtan water being a clear and green gem within the scenic area. Further up the path, there is a small viewing platform that offers a panoramic view of the seven-tier waterfall. The 80-meter-long water flow is divided into seven levels, with each level consisting of a waterfall and a pool, stacked one upon the other, appearing even more magnificent after heavy rain.Starting from the seven-tier waterfall, passing through the Nanmu forest and the suspended walkway, you can reach a higher viewing platform. Along the way, there are many famous ancient trees in the mountains, making for a pleasant scenery.
The viewing platform is the last attraction in the scenic area, and the entire climb takes about 3 hours. Standing on the viewing platform, you can see a vast sea of trees. You can then walk down the mountain along the designated path, although there are not many sights to see on the way down. For those seeking excitement and saving time, there is also a slide at the scenic area that can take you all the way down the mountain.
Like Shiwei Rock, Longwan Tan has also built a high-altitude glass viewing platform on the cliff top. But this U-shaped platform at Longwan Tan extends entirely out of the cliff wall, suspended in the air, and is far more thrilling than Shiwei Rock. Looking down through the glass of the walkway, the sensation of being suspended 300 meters above the ground can be somewhat terrifying. Of course, this is also a great spot for taking photos.
Near the entrance of the scenic area, there are two Yan Dang Run Nan trees, and you should not miss the opportunity to see this tree species when you visit Longwan Tan.
