Yuwan Scenic Area
渔湾
A gorge scenic area in South Yuntai Mountain, where Lao Longtan, Er Longtan and San Longtan form a chain of waterfalls and deep pools; a popular summer spot for splashing and cooling off.
Yuwan lies on the eastern foot of South Yuntai Mountain in Lianyun District. It is a deep mountain valley where stream water falls in tiers, forming a series of waterfalls and pools. The best known are Lao Longtan (Old Dragon Pool), Er Longtan (Second Dragon Pool) and San Longtan (Third Dragon Pool), with clear water and granite cliffs and bamboo groves on both sides. Following the boardwalk and steps upward takes about 2–3 hours in total. In summer, you can splash in designated areas. The waterfalls are at their largest and most spectacular after rain, but the paths are slippery, so take care. Admission is subject to official announcements. It is about 40 minutes by taxi from downtown. The coordinates given are for the scenic area's southeast gate.
