Longgong Old Town

Longgong Ancient Village preserves several ancient dwellings, three beautifully carved ancient ancestral halls, many ancient temples, several sections of ancient roads, four ancient bridges, more than ten ancient trees and other historic sites. The ancient ancestral hall you can see when you enter the village is different from the architectural design of the ancestral halls elsewhere in Ninghai. It has two patios front and rear. The stage and two corridors of the ancestral hall are exquisitely carved. In the middle hall of the ancestral hall, there is still a dragon with roots more than ten meters long. There is Yuying Academy in the village, which is one of the four ancient academies in Beixiang, Ninghai. Among the well-preserved ancient dwellings in the village, there are two authentic places, both of which belong to "five generations in the same hall". 2 kilometers northwest of the village is Longgong Nunnery, also known as Jifuyuan, and popularly known as Hulonggong Da Nunnery. It was built in the 9th year of the Ming Dynasty and still exists today. There is a maple and poplar dragon tree with a diameter of 5.6 meters in the bridge pit that flows from the village. Longgong Stream is the best natural landscape in the village. Longgong Village is located in a alpine basin, surrounded by five high mountains, the southeast is Waigangjian, the south is Dahujian, the southwest is Xiaohujian, the northwest is Zhenting Mountain, the northeast is the four spires, and there are two lions in the south. The head and the white elephant head are separate things. Among them, Zhenting Mountain was a famous mountain alongside Gusu Mountain and Kuaiji Mountain in the Han Dynasty, and it was Ning, Shao and Taijie Mountain. From Zhenting Mountain, a large and long stream flows from the west of the village to the front of the village, and then passes through Xixi to Daxi in the South Gate of Ningxia. There is a deep pool in the west of the village, called Shilongdou. Guangxu's "Ninghai County Chronicle - Longtan" contains: "The Dou of Longgongyu is under the stone wall, and it is said that dragons come and go here. There are marks on the places where it was rubbed and rubbed, and the bottom is Daqiu. I don't know where the pond came from. Flying training, there are three characters 'Shilongdou' on the cliff." The pool is called Longtan, because the stream where the water pool is located is called Longxi, and it is named after the village of Longxi. Later, in the 13th year of Ming Zhengtong (1448), it was renamed as Longgongxi, and the village was also renamed as Longgong, so far. There is a tributary in the south of Daxi, called Shankeng Creek. There are several waterfalls such as Longtan and Xiangyanxie, Xiaoxie and Daxie in the stream.
