As one of the key observation projects of Zixing for the 2nd Hunan Tourism Development Conference, the highway in Huilong Mountain Scenic Area was opened to traffic on July 30 after more than 400 days of hard work. It connects tourist attractions such as Water World, Dongjiang Lake, and Huilong Mountain.

The highway winds up the Huilong Mountain, with peaks rising one higher than  another, like a coiling dragon or a jade belt.
 
A villager of Shilongtan Village in Xingning Town said, “Now the asphalt road is in front of our house. Flowers and scenery can be seen everywhere. More and more people visit Huilong Mountain, and tourists often come to buy my agricultural products.”
 
The highway, with a total length of 20.89 kilometers, connects various major tourist attractions in the city, which provides tourists with better travel experience, greatly facilitates the transport, production and life of villagers along the route, as well as promotes the integrated development of agriculture and tourism.
