The Longgong Rock[2] (simplified Chinese: 龙宫岩; traditional Chinese: 龍宮岩), or Longgongyan, [3] also known as Dragon Palace Cave, [4] is a promenade-style cave[5] located 2 km east of Chunwan Town, Yangchun City.[6] It was discovered in 1978[7] and is about 1000 meters long.[8] It is named "Longgong Rock" because the Cave's body is winding and twisting like a giant dragon.[9]

According to the scenery formed in the Cave, the Longgong Rock is divided into four sections: Yingbin Corridor, Dragon King Palace, Treasure House, and Longmu Pavilion.[10]
