Historical origin:

"Kaiyuan" was the title of the reign of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, more than 1300 years ago. The Tang Dynasty not only left us nearly 50,000 Tang poems, but also created the historical glory of "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng". In this ancient cave, which has been formed for more than 200,000 years, there are not only magnificent natural scenery, but also precious cultural relics since the Neolithic Age.

In particular, the stalactite carvings and relics in Kaiyuan Cave during the Kaiyuan period truly reproduce one aspect of the culture of the Tang Dynasty 1300 years ago, and fully demonstrate the profound and rich connotation of Kaiyuan Cave. 1300 years later, this ancient cave with a history of 10,000 years has been developed and reappeared in the world, which is why the cave was named "Kaiyuan Cave".
