 Situated in the Black Dragon Hill (Wulongshan) tourist area in Pengze County east of Jiujiang, this natural cave under a hill is very much like the “Dragon King’s Palace in the East Sea” described in Chinese fairy tales. It is said that a yellow dragon once lived here. The three thousand-meter-long cave is divided into several areas, including a corridor, the east palace, the west palace, a great hall, and Dragon Pool (Longtan). Inside this “underground art museum” there are stone pillars, stalagmites, and other formations, which, if you have a good imagination, can be seen to pavilions, terraces, and bas-reliefs, as well as the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the dragon king, his daughters, and their palace maids.
