About Jiulongkou Scenic Area
The name evokes nine water dragons gathering around Longzhu Island, the 'dragon pearl' at the convergence. From ground level, the landscape is a pattern of channels, open water and reed beds; the full radial arrangement is most clearly understood from the site's aerial photographs.
Neighbouring Shazhuang village has been adapted into Huaiju Opera Town. Its traditional-style streets combine restored fabric and newer construction, creating settings for Huaiju opera and Jianhu acrobatics. Dongsheng Bridge and the waterside lanes provide a built counterpart to the wetland scenery.
What to look for
- The waterways and reed beds around the Longzhu Island setting.
- Huaiju Opera Town's traditional-style waterside lanes and Dongsheng Bridge.
- The town's interpretation and presentation of Huaiju opera and Jianhu acrobatics.
