About 8 km from the great Huangguoshu fall, Langong is wrapped by water on three sides, with a broad riverbank, a gentle current and high hills around; the fields open out with village houses scattered among old banyans, bananas and kapok — a rare stretch of subtropical river-valley countryside.
People here sing and dance well; on festivals such as the sixth day of the sixth lunar month you can feel the Buyi “ganbiao.” In summer you can raft here, drifting downstream as green hills, fields and village houses unfold. For those seeking to escape the crowds and get close to the valley, Langong is worth adding to the plan.
