It is said that "Longdong" is also called Longyan Cave. It became famous in the Qing Dynasty. By chance, I had the honor to visit an old man in Longdong Village who claimed to be 81 years old. He said that he had grown up here since he was a child. However, the place "Longyan Cave" has never been discovered, but there is an exposed stone on the nearby mountain, which is composed of three large stones. The villagers call it "Pig Head Stone". It looks like a dragon's eye from a distance. He speculates that the name of Longyan Cave is It has something to do with this stone. The old man also said that longan and lychee were originally abundant near Longdong, which is also consistent with the name of Longan Cave. I drove up to the forest park near Longdong Village and looked from the highest point. Sure enough, I could see fruit trees all over the mountain. Unfortunately, the longan harvest season had passed and I couldn't see the prosperity of the harvest.
There is an archway at the entrance of Longdong Village. According to villagers, this is the "leading head". Today's Longdong Village is far different from what it was ten years ago. The size of the village houses has increased at least five times, and residents from other places have begun to slowly exceed the original residents. I asked many villagers who spoke with local accents, hoping to find the location of the "Dragon Cave", but the answers almost always said, "This village is the Dragon Cave. I don't know where there is a sign of the Dragon Cave." As for the longan, one said it is in the forestry industry. The "Pig's Head Stone" in the school is said to be the Po Kong Tomb in the Botanical Garden, but there is no definite answer.
Longan: It is the place with the best Feng Shui. To the east of the Longdong Qilin in the South China Botanical Garden, there is the Pogang Nature Reserve. The staff of the Botanical Garden said that this is one of the longan in the legendary Longdong. When I heard this, I immediately became interested and went to see where the longan was. The so-called longan is actually a mountain tomb of a high official on a hill. The villagers of Longdong Village are extremely superstitious about it. It is said that this is the place with the best feng shui in the Longdong area. There are dense woods near the mountain tomb, which is said to be the feng shui of longan. Lin, this forest has been protected since the 1930s. There is no trace of artificial transformation. It retains the landscape of the original forest. The tree species range from tall trees to low shrubs in order. They are well-proportioned. I heard that you are lucky. You can also see wild animals here. During the Qingming Festival every year, residents of Longdong come here to worship their ancestors. At the peak of the crowd, tens of thousands of people come here to worship.
