As an early settlement of the Yao ethnic group in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Longjiao Mountain preserves precious cultural relics such as ancient Yao village sites and Qianjiadong. Folk arts like Yao songs and dances have been passed down through generations, representing a profound legacy of ethnic culture. Additionally, the area boasts natural landscapes of lush, layered mountains and murmuring streams, with high forest coverage and distinct scenery throughout the four seasons. It offers diverse options ranging from ecological experiences such as mountain hiking and exploring secluded valleys to folk culture study tours and wellness vacations, achieving a deep integration of natural ecology and cultural heritage.
In recent years, the resort has continuously improved its supporting facilities—including transportation, accommodation, and recreational amenities—while developing distinctive cultural and tourism experiences. This allows visitors to immerse themselves in the charm of ancient Yao culture while fully enjoying tranquil vacation moments amidst the mountains and waters.
