The Longhu Mountain scenic spot was officially approved as a national 5A-rating scenic spot by the Tourist Scenic Spot Quality Assessment Committee. It is the fourth 5A-rating tourist attraction in Jiangxi province following Lushan Mountain, Jianggangshan and Sanqing Mountain scenic spots.

Located in east China's Jiangxi province, Longhu Mountain is a world geological park and a national protected historic site. In 2012, it was listed into the World Natural Heritage List with Guifeng scenic spot.

It is known as a Mountain of Deity and Earthy Paradise.

The main scenic spots include Shangqing Palace, Yingtian Mountain, Mazu Cliff, Hongwu Lake, Fairy Water Cliff, and Longhu Maintain. The Taoist culture, beautiful and unique green hills with wandering streams and springs among them, and the mysterious cliff tombs that can not be explained by modern science are the three most amazing and attractive features in the resort.
