Hang up, fortune tellers, people around you.

Tourists, people from all walks of life rushing to burn incense, are also rushing here! Walking, looking around, laughing excitedly! Riding an electric car, regardless, go ahead! Drivers honked their horns gently and stopped. The scene is full of excitement!

Bailongtan Scenic Area is located about 25 kilometers away from Miyun City. There are beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery here. The palaces of the Qing emperors were distributed here. The location of the palace, by the river corresponding to Longmen, is called "Si Xia", with standard quadrangles, cloisters, pavilions and colorful paintings.

Together with Bailongtan, it is a well-known Black Dragon Pool scenic spot. Bailongtan stands on the East Line; Black Dragon Pool is alone in the western line, radiant, facing each other from afar, and there is an old legend circulating!

Black Dragon Pool Natural Scenic Area, with magnificent scenery and strange mountains and rocks, is close to Miyun Reservoir, a charming ravine, and is connected by 18 pools. Climb up the mountain step by step, climb more than ten miles of mountain roads and see the last real pool! Tourists from big cities like swimming and watching mountains, and come here in droves. For example, tourists from Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei or Shanghai. During the tourist season, tourists are weaving!

Bailongtan Scenic Area is famous in modern times. In 1980s, it was rated as "one of the 16 new scenic spots in Beijing". Compared with the Black Dragon Pool Scenic Area, it is like a "small jasper", small and exquisite, focusing on human landscape. The aforementioned "Si Xia" refers to the place where the emperor went to chengde mountain resort and passed by where he stayed. The place where the dragon lies seems to have an imperial style and attract attention.

Go up to the next temple and walk east to Longquan Temple, which is located on a hill. Twenty steps, step by step, become a standard quadrilateral.

Far away from Longquan Temple, there is a big stage. In the early years, the temple fair on March 3 rd staged a wonderful drama here, attracting countless people to watch it.

Longquan Temple, Bodhisattva Hall. Here is a kind-hearted bodhisattva, surrounded by eighteen arhats, surrounded by incense and all kinds of fruit offerings, all year round. Burning incense on March 3 is very particular. Powerful people like to put incense on their heads, pray for the blessing of bodhisattvas, get promoted and get rich, or have a prosperous business all over the world. When you put incense on your head, it should be early in the morning. It's hard to buy incense for 1000 yuan!

In Longquan Temple, there are poems inscribed by the famous anti-Japanese Qi Jiguang. There is also an inscription inscribed by the governor of Zhili, which has become a monument that attracts thousands of people's attention!

East of Longquan Temple, 100 meters away, is the famous Longtan. It is divided into Toutan, Ertan and Santan, which are called Santan reflecting the moon. Above Toutan, as early as 1950s, a small reservoir was built to cut off the water in Longtan ditch. There are two dragons carved on the dam of the reservoir, which spray waves and are lifelike. On the dam of the reservoir, there is also Kang Youwei's inscription: "Fly to the sacred land, then Longtan", six vigorous and powerful Chinese characters. This proves that Kang Youwei is visiting here.

There is a temple on the north side of Longtan, which is not very large. It's called Wulong Temple. There is a handsome little white dragon in the middle, full of vitality and heroism! There are little white dragons around, which are dedicated to the Dragon King of the Four Seas, the residence of the Five Dragons and the Hall of the Five Dragons, so they look different!

Opposite the Wulong Temple, there is a royal calligraphy written by the Qing emperor. On the one hand, it was inscribed by Emperor Qianlong, and on the other hand, it was written by Emperor Jiaqing, which was magnificent and attracted countless literati and poets to linger.

Walk slowly along the north bank of Bailongtan Reservoir. At the upstream of the reservoir, there is a stone carving standing there. On the natural slate, many portraits are carved, which are lifelike. There is no textual research on which year and generation the work belongs to.

Looking around, there is a winding path on the south mountain of Bailongtan, which leads directly to the top of the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, there is a boulder with a big word "Fu" engraved on it, which is called the best blessing in the world. Continue climbing to the top of the mountain along the mountain road. On the top of the mountain, there is a famous white tower named "White Long Ta". This tower is six stories high, from the stairs to the top. Standing here, I can see the foggy Miyun Reservoir in the west and the famous Wan Li Great Wall and beacon tower in the north.

Bailongtan scenic spot with a long history is full of youth, which is a period of reform and opening up. Bai Zhiqiang, the first general manager. When Bailongtan Scenic Area was developed, Miyun County Government only allocated 20,000 yuan for development. He walked to Bailongtan with his backpack on his back. At that time, it was still a blank. Only Bailongtan Forest Farm has a few dilapidated houses, so he spent the night in Bailongtan Forest Farm and began the difficult course of creating Bailongtan Scenic Area!

Bai Zhiqiang, tall and thin, wears a pair of glasses with deep myopia. He is from his hometown in Shanxi and should have graduated from Beijing Academy of Fine Arts. He is a classmate of Liu Bingsen, a famous contemporary calligrapher. (It is said to be the last class). The plaques were all made by Liu Bingsen when he was rebuilding Bailongtan. The font is bold, atmospheric and extraordinary!

At that time, Haoran, a famous writer, lived in Miyun for a long time, trained literary lovers in Miyun County and organized the publication of a collection of short stories. Haoran's Sunny Day was written in Miyun. Bai Zhiqiang used to work in Miyun Artists Association, and he is also an acquaintance with the famous writer Ran He.

Riding the spring breeze of reform and opening up, under the leadership of general manager Bai Zhiqiang, after several years of introduction, development and construction, Bailongtan with a long history has taken on a new look. Build a new Longmen and office area, open up a secluded parking lot, and build the imperial residence "Si Xia" and staff canteen in Sixia East Hospital. Build a castle villa area. As well as the subsequent construction of the "Bailongge" restaurant and the "Art Garden" accommodation building, as well as the construction of the huge Wanghai Building and the "Zuixian Building" restaurant building, it indicates that the Bailongtan Scenic Area, which integrates food, accommodation and entertainment, has become a scale, and Bailongtan Scenic Area welcomes tourists from all directions with a new look! By the late 1980s, the assets of Bailongtan Scenic Area had reached tens of millions of yuan! There are more than 300 employees in the whole scenic spot.

Among the people, the story of the little white dragon fighting the black dragon has been circulating for a long time, and it is well known to women and children. It is said that Xiao Bailong, a simple and honest man, loves ordinary people and has lived in Master Bailong and Fuze for a long time. For many years, the weather in this area has been very good, which is very popular among the people. There is an overbearing big black dragon passing by and taking a fancy to the geomantic treasure house of Longtan Stone House. If he wants to keep it for himself, who is the little white dragon? How could he let the robbers succeed? So the two dragons fought against Bailongtan, and you came and went, to outdo each other, and you fought like a bee, regardless of the outcome. At this critical moment, the local people spontaneously organized to help the little white dragon. As soon as the little white dragon surfaced, people threw the big white steamed bread into the pool for the little white dragon to eat. As soon as the big black dragon surfaced, people threw stones into the pool. In this way, the little white dragon and the big black dragon fought fiercely for several days and nights. With the help of local people, they finally defeated the big black dragon and successfully defended their homeland. The defeated big black dragon, in a fit of pique, ran to the Black Dragon Pool to live in seclusion. Bailongtan is separated from Miyun Reservoir, far away from Heilongtan, facing Bailongtan in the east and Heilongtan in the west.

Time flies. 1992, Bailongtan Scenic Area ushered in a brand-new year! This year, the general manager plans to shoot the TV series "The Legend of Bailongtan". Start with planning and raising funds, hire screenwriters and directors, write plays, and hire excellent actors to play the leading roles. The actor who starred in the little white dragon should be recruited from Shanghai, and the actor who played the big black dragon was recruited from Changchun in Northeast China. A TV drama group, a small group, assistant directors, artists, miscellaneous, maintained at 180 people every day, eating, drinking, sleeping, the main actors coming and going, noisy for several months.

Making TV series, people who have never been in contact with it always find it novel and fun. The real situation is another way, boring and boring. One shot has to be shot back and forth three times before it can pass. If you shoot it carelessly, you have to shoot it again. For example, when Emperor Qianlong came to Bailongtan, the scene was very big. Long queues, colorful flags fluttering, carrying eight sedan chairs. There are many sedan chairs alone, and ministers' attendants are noisy and crowded. For example, in the scene of praying for rain, it is midsummer, the sun is like fire, and it doesn't rain for a long time. Many people organize themselves, carry the whole pig and sheep, and take the old hen to the Wulong Temple by the pool, burn incense and sacrifice, pray for God's blessing, and shower. Strange to say, just in the middle of the prayer ceremony, thunder broke out in mid-air. Then, the dark clouds rolled and it rained heavily in the sky, and the people praying shouted and jumped with joy! Cheer, thank god for seeing it!

The location shooting of The Legend of Bailongtan, besides filming in Bailongtan, also went to Heilongtan, Simatai Great Wall and the bank of the reservoir. The post-production of "Legend of Bailongtan" was completed in Shanxi Taiyuan TV Station, which was also a successful cooperation with Shanxi Taiyuan TV Station. The TV series was produced and broadcast on Beijing TV 2, and it was broadcast twice before and after, which caused great repercussions.

During the filming of the TV series, there was a scene where the little white dragon and the big black dragon fought at night. People spontaneously helped the little white dragon. When the black and white dragons were fighting fiercely, a gray fox suddenly appeared from the mountain forest and bit the corner of the white dragon's trousers and never let go. When the big black dragon saw someone helping him, his spirit increased greatly. The more brave the Vietnam War, the little white dragon was so tired that he was sweating and his physical strength was gradually exhausted. Just then, people flocked to reinforce the little white dragon. Someone immediately threw steamed bread, and someone raised a stick to hit the gray fox. Just then, the little white dragon flew up and kicked the gray fox into the unfathomable deep pool. The gray fox slowly climbed to the edge of the pool with all his strength, and fled despondently. Some people say that this gray fox is a ghost. It has been lingering in the mountains of Bailongtan for a long time. This time I became a gray fox, and I didn't help the big black dragon. Obviously, the teacher of justice is invincible! It is also said that this ghost has no power in Bailongtan area and has gone to Heilongtan to take refuge in the Great Black Dragon. The big black dragon didn't take a good look at it, but just swept the wild ghost into the Black Dragon Pool with its tail and drowned it alive. The fate of ghosts is really sad!

In the early 1990s, Bailongtan Scenic Area hired some singers and made a singing tape to sing the beautiful scenery of Bailongtan and Miyun! Famous singers such as Yan Weiwen and Hu Yue are singing and singing here!

This year's March 3rd traditional temple fair was organized warmly and orderly, thriving, no less than the heyday of that year. The public security bureau dispatched a large number of police officers to maintain good order, and nearby villagers joined the army to maintain order in an organized manner. The whole temple fair is happy, harmonious and orderly, which reflects the great improvement of the overall quality of the new countryside!

The times are advancing and people are changing. Rows of high-rise buildings have been built in Xiawanzi Village, where Bailongtan Scenic Area is located. In the near future, villagers will be able to move into new buildings and start an enviable new life!
