An engineered lakeside park
Malong Water Landscape Park (马龙水景公园) is built around an unusual arrangement: river water passes beneath an artificial lake before re-emerging downstream. The lake occupies ground formed by covering parts of the river with concrete slabs. Walkways follow the lake and branch into the surrounding park, while reeds, water lilies and three circular islands give its shoreline different shapes.
Old routes and local products
Malong’s county history began in the Western Han dynasty. Historic traces include Zhuge Mountain (诸葛山) and old postal roads. Apples, blueberries and beef cattle are among its highland agricultural products, while rose-flower foods and konjac foods are made locally. The Guiyang–Kunming Railway (贵昆铁路) and Shanghai–Kunming high-speed railway (沪昆高铁) run through the district.
