About Wuwen Village
Don't miss the famous Wuwen (Mosquito-Free) Village. Camphor trees are everywhere in the village, and the air is filled with their fragrant camphor scent. The many tree species here are said to produce a combined aroma that keeps mosquitoes away. The camphor smell isn't especially pleasant, though, and while it drives off insects, it can also be overpowering.

Xianshuiyan Scenic Area
Without exaggeration, Xianshuiyan Scenic Area brings together the best of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Green hills, bamboo groves and a jumble of peaks and rocks that look like whatever your imagination suggests are all here. The clear water of the Luxi River and the bamboo rafts gliding across it give the area a calm that city dwellers rarely find. If you have the chance, climb to Xianren City for a view over Xianshuiyan.
Shangqing Ancient Town
Shangqing nurtured Taoist culture. Without this treasured land, Dragon Tiger Mountain could hardly have become the foremost Taoist mountain in China and the birthplace of Chinese Taoism. In this town with a history of a thousand years, the Heavenly Master Palace, stilted houses and old residences are places you must visit.
Xiangbi Mountain Scenic Area
Bamboo groves are the biggest highlight of Xiangbi Mountain. Strolling through the hills where the breeze drifts through, the freshness of the bamboo mingles with that of the earth, making it a peaceful place to rest your body and mind. The mountain trails are steep, however, and you will need both stamina and determination to hike them.
Luxi River Rafting
The most important "viewing platform" on Dragon Tiger Mountain is the bamboo raft. The rafting trip takes nearly 30 minutes, from the dock all the way to the hanging coffin performance site, and the rock formations along the way are so varied that "thrilling" hardly does it justice!
