Due to time constraints, I went to Yunnan many times but never set foot on this land. This time I arrived in Xingyi in early March, and the road from Xingyi to Luoping is only more than 80 kilometers away, and there are rapeseed flowers to see. I specially took the time to arrange a one-day chartered tour . My relatives from Wuxi also arrived in Xingyi in a group of 7 people. Last night, I got in touch with a chartered car through her. We agreed to go to Luoping today. The chartered car is 1,100 yuan per car, and the new Benchi car includes hotel pick-up. Shuaiyin Inn.

There are ten waterfalls in Jiulong, and the unique Jiulong Waterfall in Luoping in the southern country has a myth, which is encyclopediad for you.
Myths and legends
There is an ancient and mysterious legend about the formation of "Nine Dragons Waterfall": According to legend, a long time ago, Luoping was still a boundless ocean. There are nine black dragons and one white dragon coming to the sea from the lotus pond at the source of the Pearl River.
In order to compete for this sea, the black dragon and the white dragon will not give in to each other, and the competition is very fierce. Bailong resorted to a trick and monopolized Haizi.
However, the nine black dragons refused to accept it, so they dug holes from the bottom of the sea separately, draining all the water in Luoping Haizi and turning it into a dry dam. Bailong lost his shelter and died of anger by the sea, thus turning into the eternally majestic Baila Mountain.
Afterwards, eight black dragons each opened a river to irrigate the land in Luoping, but the eldest brother of the black dragons ran amok, making the area dry and without rain, and no crops were harvested.
When the emperor of the underworld learned about it, he sent Fengshen, Yujiang, Leigong, and Leimu to rectify it.
All of a sudden, the land of Luoping was black and stormy, with lightning and thunder, and the black dragon fell into the bottom of the water in a dazed state. With a loud bang, the long river where the black dragon practiced was split into three steep pools, which later generations called the three stacked pools, and the tallest one is today's Da Dieshui, the Jiulong Waterfall.
The ten waterfalls in Kowloon are connected by shoals or deep pools, forming a string of pearl ribbons reflecting the sun's rays. These waterfalls change with the seasons, changing endlessly, dizzying.
During the harvest season, the roar of the waterfall can be heard several miles away.
The main ethnic group here is Buyi. In recent years, Luoping County has stepped up efforts to develop the Jiulong River Waterfall, and built pedestrian viewing roads and viewing platforms. Standing on the viewing platform of the Linkong Elevation, you can see the magnificence of the Jiulong River Waterfall.
Enter the scenic area and follow the road from top to bottom. Peach blossoms are in full bloom beside the path. Although some rapeseed flowers have already set seeds, there are still many blooming, all over the mountains and plains, which is very spectacular.
