Feilong cave

Feilong cave, located in Feilong village of Feilong Township, is a famous landscape on the North Bank of Fengdu County. At this point, the Banzhu River plunges down, flows straight down the deep valley of the hanging rock, and the sound of the surging waves rushes through the boulders is like the roar of a tiger and the sound of a dragon. It is said that the flying dragon falls on the Dongtan in the distance, so it is called "Flying Dragon Cave".

In the old days, a flying dragon temple was built near the mouth of the Yanshang River, in which a bell was cast to remember the miracle of the flying dragon. Feilong cave is located in the rock behind the waterfall. The cave is wide and can hold hundreds of people. There is a bridge in Yantou. In summer, when the water rises, there is no bridge. Pedestrians can bypass Dongzhong to cross the river. Therefore, there is a local saying that "when the water rises, the bridge will go up, but when the water rises, the bridge will go down".

The cave falls three times into a pool. In flood season, toutan waterfall is 29.3 meters wide and 62.6 meters high, with a surface of 2563.4 square meters and a depth of 32.5 meters; Ertan waterfall is 31.5 meters high, with a surface of about 500 square meters and a depth of about 10 meters; Santan waterfall is 10.4 meters high, with a surface of about 250 square meters and a depth of about 6 meters. The pond is rich in fish, turtle, shrimp and crab.

The magnificent landscape of Feilong cave is praised by ancient and modern tourists. In April of 1770, the 35th year of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, two eminent monks traveled to the cave and improvised the title "Ode to the Flying Dragon Cave" and the cliff. Fu Yun: "it's a place to play in Feilong cave. There is a layer of rock in front of it There are three parts in the cave, dangerous and deep. There are two strange stones in their clothes. If you look down on them, you will be shaken. The smoke is rolling like a tiger roaring on the hill, the fog is misty and the wind is surging. Suddenly the fish leaped into the abyss, and suddenly the kite flew into the sky. It is the place where the flying dragon sleeps, but it is not the place where the philosopher plays and dances. "

Now the feilongdong waterfall has dried up and become a cliff
