When walking southward from the foothill of Yufeng Hill, in less than three kilometers the visitors can find themselves at Dalongtan - Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region scenic area.

It is a large scenic and tourist area, mixed together with natural landscape, culture and customs of southern ethnic minorities, subtropical plants covering an area of 544 hectares, more than twice as the size of Beijing’s Summer Palace.

It constitutes an inner and outer pool with water as clear as mirror throughout the four seasons, contributing to a fresh and cool surrounding. Seven peaks around the pool are called the Seven Women Peak. There is another peak in the east with a transparent hole halfway up the mountain, where one can see the mirror-clear blue sky, thus it’s called Mirror Mountain. Across it stands a smaller hill like a slim girl, named Beauty Peak. The two peaks face one another form the famous scene of "Fairies into Mirror." It is next to a quiet acacia woods with a path leading to the Mirror Lake.
