Tai Chi Cave with unique taste

Feng Menglong, a writer in Ming Dynasty, praised "Leizhou changing drums", "Guangde burying", "Dengzhou sea city" and "Qiantang river tide" as "four wonders in the world" in "A Warning to the World". "Guangde Buried" refers to the huge karst caves underground in Guangde.

On the platform in front of the stone carving of "Er Yi You Fen" in Liangyi Palace, there is a strange stone called "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". The eight immortals in the cave, sitting or standing, singing or whistling, have different expressions and are lifelike. Visitors can also look at the petrified immortal face of Taishang Laojun from afar, so the scenic spot here is also called "Eight Immortals pilgrimage". To the west of Liangyi Palace is Bajing Palace, also known as Laojun Cave. There is a clever stone hanging in the air, which looks like the ancestor of Taoism in myth and legend-Taishang Laojun. But seeing the shoulders draped with cranes, good-natured, and silver whiskers fluttering, it is vivid. Near the Qiaoshi of Taishang Laojun, there are also scenes such as Qingniu Listening to Classics, Danzao Fragrance, Xiangui Listening Method, Millennium Ancient Sophora, Lying Niushi, Water Dropping Stone Wear, etc. Although they are all natural lava landscapes, their tastes are different.

Wonderful wonders of the world

Eight Immortals' pilgrimage, petrified immortals' capacity, fairy boat hanging, twin towers' flying in the sky, boating in the cave, golden dragons and jade pillars, Huangshan Mountain in the cave, Three Gorges in the cave, the reflection of the moon in the huts and the Taiji celestial wall outside the cave are collectively called "Ten Wonders of the Cave".

Mr. Huang Zhen, on the other hand, summed up as a "wonder of the world".

In front of the mountain of Taiji Cave, there is the rippling "Yanchi Lake", which is said to be the place where Fan Zhongyan washed inkstones in the past.

The water cave in Taiji Cave is also a wonder. Its water surface is wide, and it can accommodate boats and anything.

The most famous landscapes in the water cave are "Jade Pillar in the Sky", "Bat God Silkworm" and "Hanging Pass".

"Tai Chi mural" is a wonder on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor in Tai Chi Cave, which is like gathering of immortals, the battle of heroes, fighting on the battlefield, fighting between trapped animals and so on. "The Eye of the Pot Celestial" is the wonder of stalactites in the "Pot Temple" in Taiji Cave, with its suspended ceiling and various postures. The above "three wonders" are named after "group images".
