Longmen Wave-Rushing is located at Longmen Mountain on the seaside of Emantown, Danzhou City. Longmen Mountain is a towering rocky mountain by the coast, with grotesque rocks and a majestic view stretching from north to south.
To the east of the mountain, there is a gate-like opening known as the ‘First Gate of the South Sky’, standing over 30 meters high and about 20 meters wide. It is hollow and ventilated, with an arch-shaped rock formation. The north wind lifts the waves, which crash against the stone gate, producing a drum-like sound that echoes for more than 10 miles, hence the name ‘Longmen Wave-Rushing’. Named during the Ming Dynasty, it has always been a marvel to visitors.
A poem by a former Qing Dynasty scholar, titled ‘Seven Quatrains’, describes it as: ‘The steep rocks of Longmen tower high, as the distant tide rolls in with white waves. It’s not just the Shu Road that’s hard and startling, but also the perilous paths in my hometown.’ The poem captures the scenery with emotion, thought-provoking. The surrounding 4-kilometer coastline of Longmen Wave-Rushing features clean beaches and a variety of giant rocks along the shore, creating a unique landscape. Standing on the rocks to watch the waves is a refreshing experience and makes it a famous tourist attraction in Hainan Province. Adjacent to the Yangpu Development Zone, with the development of Yangpu, the number of visitors to Longmen Wave-Rushing is increasing daily, and its fame is spreading far and wide. Related Legend: It is said that a long time ago, there was a plow-shaped stone here, which was constantly battered by the waves, cutting away at the stones of the sea wall, hence the sheer form of Longmen. There is a cave in the wall that leads to Na Xi Ling, large enough for hundreds of people to walk through. According to the ‘Dan County Records’, after the failure of the uprising led by the Li ethnic leader against the Han people in the Ming Dynasty, the remnants of the rebel army once held out here, ‘suddenly appearing in the mountains and the sea’, elusively fighting with the imperial troops for more than ten years. The entire text is open all year round and available 24/7, with specific business hours subject to the day’s opening status.
