brief introduction

The underground space formed by karst in soluble rocks in Jiulong Cave is the result of long-term dissolution of groundwater in limestone area. Insoluble calcium carbonate in limestone can be converted into soluble calcium bicarbonate by the action of water and carbon dioxide. Because each part of the limestone layer contains different amounts of calcareous and the degree of erosion is different, it is gradually dissolved and divided into interdependent, varied, steep and beautiful peaks and caves with strange landscapes.

According to historical records, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573), flash floods broke out, and the collapsed rocks filled the Wujiang River and became a beach. Passing ships could not pass, and gradually formed an ancient town. Because there were many residents named Gong, it was named Gong Beach. The ancient town of Gongtan, which has come from the stormy Cang Sang for more than 1700 years, has a unique architectural style and a long history of national culture, showing a dazzling historical picture of Cui Can.

The ancient town was rebuilt in the 13th year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1735), and it was named Longtan because the two Longan-shaped Weishan caves under Fulongshan often accumulated water to form pools. The ancient town was built along the Meishu River, with a large scale and well-preserved.

Because of its special geographical location, Apeng River has become the only river in China that flows from east to west. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the Apeng River "flows back 3,800 miles", so it is mysterious. The Apengjiang Grand Canyon, which has three gorges, namely, Jingui Gorge, Tianmen Gorge and Goddess Gorge, enjoys the reputation of "Gorge tenderness, poetry and painting wonderland".
