Jiaolong (蛟龍)

Jiaolong (蛟龍)

Alternative Names (異名):
蛟龍, Jiaolong, Crocodile Dragon


Jiaolong, in Chinese mythology, is the horned dragon, which is one of the nine Chinese dragons. It does not seem to be powerful enough to be able to fly in the sky, and therefore is mainly known to live in sea and the big river. For this reason, the Jiaolong is also known as the flood dragon.

In Taiwan, a famous waterfall in the Alishan National Scenic Area is also called the Jiaolong or Flood Dragon Waterfall
