Duxu’ao Village

Duxu’ao, a place where no villages can be found upon entering, is backed by overlapping mountains and a sea of bamboo forests. Interspersed with streams, the water is abundant, cascading down to the mountain village, originating from the spring of Wulongtan.

Wulongtan, located five miles away from the village in the valley of Du Xu Village’s Double Stone Gates, is composed of three stone pools resembling jade basins. The springs splash violently, with depths that are unfathomable. Next to the pool, there are cliffs and steep walls, ancient towering trees, and layers of green bamboo, where sunlight never reaches, creating a serene environment. Due to the light limitations, the pool surface appears dark, hence the name Wulongtan. Originally, Wulongtan was composed of three pools of varying sizes, as recorded in ancient texts: ‘Wulongtan has three pools, the middle and upper pools are tens to hundreds of feet high, while the lower pool is slightly more level.’ Today, only one pool is visible. The pool water splits into five streams, flying down from the crevices of huge rocks, short but powerful, like a silver-forged harp being played day and night.


Every year, on the first day of the sixth lunar month, Wulongtan Temple Fair is a very lively day in Du Xu, the birthday of the legendary Wulong Master, filled with mythological colors. Wulongtan, deep in the mountains, is mysterious and beautiful. The three clear pools give a refreshing feeling. Surrounding temples are crowded with people, with thriving incense, and devout people come from all directions to make wishes and pray for the safety of their families. Wulongtan has too many different versions of legends among the people. Visiting Wulongtan on a summer day can not only feel the hidden coolness in the deep mountains but also listen to the wonderful legends told by the elderly by the pool, making it a perfect journey for relaxation.
