Dapingtai Longju Waterfall Tourist Area Geographical Location In the Yuhuangtuo Scenic Area, 45 kilometers west of Baoding Address Longju Village, Liujia Tai Township, Mancheng District, Baoding City, Hebei Province Opening Hours All year round: Monday to Sunday 08:30-17:30 Attraction Introduction The Longju Waterfall is 2.7 kilometers long and is divided into nine waterfalls, cascading down with great momentum, with the highest waterfall having a drop of 43 meters. The nine waterfalls, each with its unique spectacle, create scenic spots such as the billion-year-old green stone basin and the giant Buddha fossil. Baicao Valley is deep, dangerous, and peculiar, with lush vegetation, herbs everywhere in the valley, fruit trees all over the mountains, babbling streams, and a refreshing and pleasant environment, making it a great place to escape the summer heat. "Dapingtai" is a platform in the mountains with an altitude of 700 meters, far higher than the surrounding peaks for dozens of miles. The underground water is very abundant, and the plentiful water resources make the ancient wells on the platform never dry up throughout the year. Dapingtai is lush with greenery, with verdant pines and cypresses. The green of the trees and the fragrance of the flowers nurture nearly a hundred species of birds. There are also dozens of small animals such as wild rabbits, foxes, weasels, and squirrels in the forests and caves. Dapingtai has various rock bodies such as limestone, granite, and gneiss, nurturing different landform features, forming numerous natural landscapes such as General Stone, South Heavenly Gate, Waterfall Valley, Stone Basin, and Thousand-foot Cliff. The most unique feature is the naturally formed nine major waterfall groups, nine waterfalls, nine cultures, nine effects, and nine different moods, making it a unique northern landscape. During the rainy season, the mountain waterfalls present the spectacular view of "a thousand feet of water cascading down," and after the rain, fog rises, the sea of clouds churns, and the foggy sea is vast and boundless, like the fairyland of the nine heavens. It's a great choice for summer cooling and a romantic spot for couples to check in during the Qixi Festival.
