There are many canyon attractions in China, but there is a magical, thrilling, and exciting canyon in Xiangxi, which is the Dragon Canyon.

This place is rich in bird songs, and the wind flows gracefully in the forest. This place is rich in fireworks, arousing the taste buds on the tongue.

This place is rich in mountains, with tendons bulging like men. This place is rich in streams, as clear as the love song spoken by Tujia women.

The moon is abundant here, and it grows from the mountains. The moonlight is as white as snow. This place is rich in blue skies, white clouds, and misty rain.

Here, abundant sunshine shines on men, women, children, and the elderly in the village, with smiles like spring.

It is known as China's first special travel route, taking advantage of the terrain along the mountains, carefully crafted yet naturally formed. It is a paradise for challengers and a paradise for the brave.

Going deep into Longxia Village, one cannot help but recite a few lines of poetry. How about you open your throat and let out a few roars? If you can't even make a roar, it means you're already drunk here.

Entering the canyon, there are flowers blooming for you, red rocks stepping for you, shade blocking the sun for you, and birds singing for you. However, this is not the charm of sitting in the Dragon Canyon. Its unique charm should be gradually displayed as you travel deeper, becoming more majestic, steep, and rugged.

The pristine fresh air, the fantastic natural scenery composed of canyons, primitive secondary forests, streams and waterfalls, and the ancient and mysterious Tujia customs that seem to have passed away, are known as the "Shangri La" and "Wonderland on Earth".

There are many legends about the origin of "sitting dragon" in the Dragon Canyon. Two of them are widely circulated. According to legend, one green and one white dragon coiled around the broken Longshan Mountain, bringing good weather and abundant harvests to the Tujia people. The emperor was worried that the two dragons would be favored by the people and change dynasties, which would jeopardize his own throne, so he had them nailed down. The green dragon was nailed, while the white dragon ran wildly all the way. In desperation, it crawled into a deep and steep canyon, hence the name 'Sitting Dragon Canyon'. On the other hand, whenever there is a sudden drop in mountain rain in the valley, the sound of the valley echoes like the faint roar of a dragon; When the sun shines down, rainbow shadows fill the sky, creating a magical illusion of a wandering dragon. It is a wonder that has earned it the name "sitting dragon".

If you have the opportunity, be sure to come and play in the Dragon Canyon, where you can experience a sense of comfort accompanied by the roaring stream under your feet.
