Deqing Panlongxia Ecological Scenic Spot

Panlongxia Ecological Scenic Area is located 28km northeast of Deqing County, at the junction of Guanxu Town and Shapang Town. It is 2 kilometers away from Guangzhou and 97 kilometers away from Zhaoqing. The whole scenic spot covers an area of more than 2, hectares, of which the core area is 65 hectares.

under the warm and humid monsoon climate, the primary forest and the primary secondary forest in the scenic spot are very flourishing, the forest coverage rate is about 92%, and the negative ion concentration in the air reaches more than 1 zones per square centimeter, which is a super natural "oxygen bar".

waterfall-watching in the canyon

The most popular tourist is the waterfall-watching plank road tour in the canyon, which is enjoyed by both the elderly and children. Entering the long and narrow Panlong Canyon along the stone path, the coolness and clarity of the mountain spring and the purity and softness of the mountain wind make us feel comfortable.

Up the river along the cement or wooden plank road and sightseeing wind and rain corridor in the rugged cliffs, the "Shuanglong Waterfall" composed of "Snow in the Galaxy" and "Jade in Nine Days" and the surrounding "Yanyu Waterfall" come into view. Climb the stairs, sometimes enter the vast forest, and walk through the winding of towering ancient trees and vines; From time to time, there is a small bridge running water. In the face of birds and flowers, the cliffs face each other in an instant, and there is a close call. In the meantime, nearly 3 species of tropical and subtropical plants hidden in the original vegetation in the valley are displayed everywhere.

"disco on water"

There is a "disco on water" stage in Happy Valley under the waterfall. In the pool, a water stage of nearly 1 square meters is built with polished granite, and more than 1 nozzles controlled by music computer are embedded in the gap between the stones. The velocity and angle of water flow in each nozzle change with the rhythm of live sound, forming a cluster of water curtains with strange shapes, which refract all kinds of rainbows in the sun.

In the water curtain, people who love water appear and disappear from time to time. Against the backdrop of wild plantains and black spinulosa around them, it seems that they have returned to the primitive tribal times.

thrilling rafting

The most attractive thing about Panlong Gorge is the drifting waterway known as "the first drifting of China warriors". It is located in the depths of the canyon, from Shuanglongtan at the foot of the "Shuanglong Waterfall" along the canyon to Feifengtan, with a total length of 3.8 kilometers. The rocks in the stream overlap, the river is curved and changeable, and the water is fast, with a drop of 18 meters!

put on a protective helmet and life jacket, take an inflatable kayak and go downstream. The river is wide and narrow, with natural obstacles and rapids everywhere. Like a boat sailing in the sea, sometimes it jumps on the waves and sometimes it is inserted into the water, and the cool river is swept over. Although the river is dangerous, there are special personnel on the spot to guide the drifters to "pass the customs" along the dangerous section.

Those who are less courageous or the elderly usually choose romantic and carefree drifting with less stimulation, drifting all the way from the lower reaches of Feifengtan to Jinlin Reservoir at the foot of the mountain, with a total distance of ***3 kilometers and a gentle river flow.

Cabin Waterwheel

In Xiaolongwan Valley, upstream of Panlongxia Waterfall Group, a cottage-style villa group consisting of more than 6 cabins is located in a cabin resort surrounded by green trees. Looking at the green leaves in the forest, playing in the clear and transparent streams, and breathing the fresh and pure air always reminds people of the West Lake, where "thick clothes are always appropriate".

In an unmanned "mountain village supermarket" in the center of the valley, nearly 3 kiosks are filled with all kinds of mountain products, honey and bamboo products marked with prices, and each kiosk is equipped with a large bamboo tube for the collection of payment. After purchasing the goods by themselves, tourists consciously put all the payment they should pay into the bamboo tube. It can be seen that the simplicity of folk customs here has deeply infected civilized tourists.

There are 62 waterwheels of various forms in the south of the Yangtze River near the stream. There are irrigated, mill-planted, rice-planted, and quite spectacular water wheels, a weaving village in Huang Daopo with a history of nearly 8 years. Reminiscent of the ancient farming tribal scene of "chirp after chirp, Mulan weaving as a household".

We visited Deqing

Besides visiting Panlong Gorge, we also enjoyed the charm of Deqing, an ancient Lingnan county with a history of more than 2,1 years.

The Confucius Temple in Deqing County is a national key cultural relic protection unit.

longmu ancestral temple is located in yuecheng town, Deqing, and it is also a national key cultural relics protection unit. Founded in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Together with the Chenjiaci in Guangzhou and the ancestral temple in Foshan, it is known as the "three treasures" of Lingnan ancient architecture. Tens of thousands of Chinese descendants from home and abroad visit here every year before and after the birth of the dragon mother from the first day of May to the eighth day of the lunar calendar and the birth of the dragon mother from the first day of August to the eighth day of the lunar calendar, which is very lively.
