Shenlong Valley is located at the gateway of Guiyang Forest Farm in Ankou Township, Suichang County. Guiyang Forest Farm is located in the southern mountainous area of ??Suichang County. It is a national forest park and is part of the Zhejiang and Fujian Mountains. It belongs to the middle mountain zone of Xianxia Ridge. The mountain system is the Wuyi Mountain that meanders from Longquan in Zhejiang and Pucheng in Fujian. A branch of the Xianxia Ridge Mountains. Typical features are continuous mountain peaks, steep terrain, deep valleys and caves, cliffs with waterfalls and high mountain terraces. There are lush forests inside the forest farm, with a forest area of ??9,232 acres and a coverage rate of 88.8. The forest conditions vary in the four seasons, and there are mountains, waterfalls, valleys, and caves inside. The most beautiful and representative scenery of Suichang Shenlong Valley is the Shenlong Waterfall, which falls more than 300 meters. It is located at 119°0B′31″ east longitude and 28°21′01″ north latitude. The Shenlong Waterfall was originally called the Three Waterfalls. Because the waterfall looks like a white dragon flying down the mountain stream of Shenlong Valley, it is named Shenlong Waterfall. It is a hanging waterfall located in the Shenlong Valley area of ??Suichang National Forest Park. The Guiyi Mountains it is located in is the watershed between the Wuxi River, a tributary of the Qiantang River, and the Songyin River, an upstream tributary of the Oujiang River. It belongs to the mid-mountain area of ??Xianxia Mountains, with an altitude of 830-1516.3 meters, and a relative height difference of 400-600 meters. The entire mountain is steep, with a slope generally above 60 degrees, and the upper part and top of the mountain are gentler. The water source of Shenlong Waterfall is Waipeng Creek originating from Yangpa'ao. It flows through the Cuixian Valley about 1000 meters away and then meets the cliff and falls to the bottom of the valley on the east side. Due to the changes in the mountain topography, the water flow is blocked and the water flows downward. There are three levels in the middle, the first level is about 60 meters, the second level is about 80 meters, and the third level is about 120 meters. There is a drop of about 70 meters between the first level and the second level. The width of the first level waterfall rock is 10 meters, and the second level is about 120 meters. The width of the first-level waterfall rock is 18 meters, the width of the third-level waterfall rock is 25 meters, the altitude of the source of the first-level waterfall is 1080 meters, and the altitude of the bottom of the third-level waterfall is 780 meters, with a total drop of more than 300 meters. The mountains on both sides of the Shenlong Waterfall are steep, and the forest between the first and second levels is dense. There are dozens of nationally protected tree species such as oak, black oak, rhododendron, and wild animals such as macaques, black deer, and wild deer. Various snakes, amphibians, stone frogs, etc. There are cliffs between the second and third levels. Plants are unfavorable to grow, mostly ferns and asparagus. At the same time, the overall shape of the waterfall changes according to the mountain terrain, like a white swimming dragon, winding in the mountains. Since the origin of the waterfall and the area it flows through are within the scope of Guiyang Forest Farm, the water catchment area is large, so the water volume of the waterfall is relatively stable all year round, and it is particularly spectacular during periods of abundant rainfall. Follow the mountain road behind the mountain where the waterfall is located to get close, and look up at the waterfall. The waterfall rushes out from the cliff, and the water splashes in all directions, forming a mist several meters high. It is particularly spectacular, and you can hear the huge roar of the waterfall's water hitting the mountain. At the bottom of the waterfall, rocks are piled up, and the water scatters, eventually forming a deep pool, which overflows into the valley bottom. The mountain rock on which the waterfall is based is mainly composed of various rhyolitic volcaniclastic rocks, and the vegetation is mostly secondary broad-leaved shrubs, with a coverage rate of more than 60%. The relative height of the mountain reaches 350 meters, with an average slope of more than 60 degrees. It faces east and north. It can be viewed from many places along the Guiwang Highway and Suilong Highway across the valley. The view is especially good from the Guiwang Highway 3 kilometers away from Guiyang Forest Farm. A waterfall viewing platform has been built, facing each other across the valley, and the three-level water flow is clearly visible, which is spectacular. Because it is located in a valley area, it is easy for clouds and fog to form. At this time, the waterfall is looming behind the fog. Usually when the wind is strong in the valley, the three-level water flow of the waterfall will sway slightly left and right with the wind, which is interesting. It has become an iconic landscape for tourism development along the Shenlong Valley in Suichang County. Such beautiful scenery has been hidden deep in the mountains for a long time and no one knows about it. In 2007, Shenlong Valley was officially developed into a tourist and leisure resort and opened to tourists, and successfully passed the acceptance of the national AAA scenic spot.
