The cave is 20 meters long, 2.5 meters wide and 2.5 meters high.

Niuweizhang

Niuweizhang is a small valley located on the east side of Fuhe Lian'an Reservoir in Zhongxin Town and is accessible by road. In the past, when people climbed to the top of the mountain from the mouth of the valley, they had to go around nine hills and make nine twists and turns, so it was also called the "Eighteen Bends". The mountain is about 400 meters high, and there is a flat area at the bottom of the mountain to the south, so it looks tall and majestic. On the cliff about 200 meters high in the valley, there is a waterfall cascading down in three levels, into a deep pool at the bottom of the valley. The pool is shaped like a rice steamer and is called rice steamer pool. During the rainy season, the roaring sound of the waterfall hitting the deep pool is so loud that the mountains and valleys echo, and can be heard two kilometers away from the valley entrance.
