High and densely covered with forest, Wutong Mountain is the originating place of Shenzhen River. Spring water runs into the lake at the top of the mountain. The lake is deep and its water of high medical value. Flowing down along the valley, the lake water forms a group of magnificent waterfalls. During the rain season in spring, the water runs swiftly down to the Dragon Pool with a thundering sound. Precious giant salamanders and mountain turtles can be found in a cave of the pool. Shenzhen River is formed at Longzhu by waters from the Dragon Pool, together with 8 other valley streams. People specialized in Fengshui called the place "nine dragons toying the pearl". There are a sword-grinding stone and a sword-testing stone, which is 20 times bigger than that in Tiger Hill, Suzhou. Nine old trees with twining vines look like hugging lovers. There is a fairy chair under the trees. Visitors surely will be indulged in the beautiful scenes of waterfalls, oddly shaped rocks, old trees, and bamboo. Under the trees, there is a celestial armchair, which is very comfortable to sit on.
