Longtan Park
龙潭公园
A mountain-and-water park among karst peaks south of Liuzhou's city center. Mirror Lake, Dragon Pool and ethnic-style architecture complement one another, and locals say “Longtan's scenery rivals Guilin.”
Longtan Park lies in the southern part of Liuzhou's urban area. It is built around two karst hills, Leishan and Longshan, along with Mirror Lake and Dragon Pool. It is a large landscape park that blends the architectural styles of the Zhuang, Dong, Miao, Yao and other ethnic groups. Features include a Dong wind-and-rain bridge and drum tower, Zhuang stilt houses and a Miao village, as well as wetlands, a tropical plant zone and several hiking trails. Climbing Longshan offers views over the park and the southern city. Within the park, the Liyukou Site is a Neolithic cave site dating back about 10,000 years. Allow about 2 hours. The park suits visitors who enjoy photographing water reflections and taking leisurely walks. Bauhinia and azaleas bloom in spring, and the lotus on Mirror Lake is at its best in summer. Admission is free. Transport: many city bus lines stop at “Longtan Park.”
