Double Dragon Cave Forest Park covers an area of 11650 mu (translated to 7.77 sq.km.) of which 160 mu is covered by water. The park is encircled by basins. On the north is Duntou basin that separates the Jinhua Mountain and the Dragon Mountain. On the south there is Jinheng Basin. To the north there are two peaks: Dapanshan peak, 1,312 meters in height and Jiudingshan peak 1,245 meters in height.

Two sloping flat fields lie on the top. On the southern mountainside there are the well-known Double Dragon Cave, the Icy Kettle Cave, Chaozheng Cave, and Taoyuan Cave. On the west side, there is the Underground River (Six-Cave Mountain). One part of the Northern Mountain stretches northeast to Yiwu where the mountain turns into a red earth knap in Yiwu City and Pujiang County. The other part of the Northern Mountain runs westward and meets its end point at the Hills Park on the bank of Lanjiang River. Most of the earth in the park is either red or yellow. The red earth is mainly distributed in places at low sea level; the yellow earth at higher sea level. The deep and fertile earth is very helpful to the growth of trees. The rocks in the park are mainly tuff and rhyolite and partly limestone. The park lies in this semi tropical area with a monsoon climate. It is semi-moist in summer and autumn with abundant rainfall in spring. Due to the ample rainfall and cool weather in the summer, this area serves as a good summer resort.

The park is characterized by “green, beauty, serene and cool”. Lakes in this mountainous area are distinctive features of this park. Lutianhu Lake (at 600 meters above sea level) and Xihu Lake (at 1000 meters above sea level) look like two pearls. Charming and enchanting, clear and calm, the lakes resemble mirrors. At sunset, the lakes glisten with undulating wavelets in the declining sunrays. The dusky scenery merges the surrounding hills, the water and the rock formations into a visual marvel.

Rocks of strange or grotesque shapes and sizes give the park another distinctive feature. Some of them change their appearances with only steps away, and some other pose alarming perilous appearance. People enjoy the significant contrast greatly. Take a rock named the White Rock for example. At nearly one hundred meters in height, the perilous rock looks like the Great Wall. Another rock is named Biwushi (A rock that resembles two soldiers competing against each other in military skills). It is said that in order to boost morale of his army, Zhu Yuanzhang (who later became the fist emperor of the Ming Dynasty) ordered General Chang Yuchun to give an open challenge. Hu Dahai, another general, came to challenge Chang. They competed by each lifting and carrying a heavy rock. As their strength matched, the two rocks they had moved were put together and formed in the shape of 人. Another stony wonder is a rock named Zhuangshishengxian. There are the prints of a head, palms and feet on the rock. It is said the prints were left when Huang Chuping bumped against the rock in order to become a celestial being. There are also other vivid legends relating to other rocks such as the rock where the commander named his generals, the rock where a knife was tested for its sharpness, the rock where some sacred books were found.

The karst topography is clearly represented in the five caves and ten scenic spots including the Double Dragon Cave, the Icy Kettle Cave, The Chaozheng Cave, The Celestial Waterfall Cave and Taoyuandong Cave.

The park is located at the upper part of The Northern Mountain where clouds and mists linger on all year round and the ever-charging weather change brings about spectacular scenes. The top of the mountain is the good place to watch the fantastic sunrise and scudding clouds.

Inside the park the forestry coverage rate is 84%, where old trees are tall to reach into the skies. Owing to the unique natural environment, advantageous geographical location, convenient transportation and pleasantly cool weather, as well as the fascinating view, the park attracts tourists and enjoys the reputation of “little Lushan Mountain”.
