What's magical about Panlong Cave in Gansu?

When people think of the northwest of China, most people will have a deep impression on Xinjiang and Gansu. These two places are not only the largest provinces in northwest China, but also rich in tourism resources. Many people will yearn for the scenery beyond the Great Wall in the northwest and travel to the northwest more and more. So today Bian Xiao will introduce you to a tourist attraction in the northwest, which is a magical temple. Not only is the geographical environment unique, but the temperature is kept at 17 degrees all the year round.

Hidden temples in the stone forest

This scenic spot is located in Shilin Scenic Spot of Yellow River in Baiyin, Gansu, southeast of Jingtai County, Baiyin City. Speaking of the Yellow River Stone Forest Scenic Area, I believe many people who are familiar with Gansu tourism will be familiar with it. This is a national 4A-level scenic spot, and its magnificent Yellow River environment and Shilin landform have attracted countless people's attention. Because of the peculiar scenery of the Yellow River Stone Forest, many tourists will ignore Panlong Cave, a temple hidden in a cave deep in the Stone Forest.

Natural wonders coexist with cultural heritage.

Originally named Xinglong Temple, Panlong Cave was formed at the same time as Shilin, which was caused by natural phenomena such as crustal movement, wind and rain. It has a history of hundreds of millions of years and is a natural cave dominated by yellow gravel. This temple was built in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 200 years. In other words, this temple is a temple building that combines natural wonders with a long history and culture.

Panlong Cave is an extremely rare cave in China? Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism? A temple with three religions in one, so the cultural charm is diversified. After entering Panlong Cave, there is an entrance. The shape of this entrance is a traditional four-column three-door two-story mountain gate, with exquisite paintings and dragon-shaped decorations hovering at the top, full of long ancient charm.

Walking through the mountain gate, you can set foot on a narrow and deep road leading to the temple. On both sides of this road, there will be a stone forest ten meters high, so it will give people a sense of adventure. There are wooden doors and windows at the entrance of the temple cave, which has a typical posture of the entrance of China temple. The inside of the cave looks a little empty, and the highest place can reach 8 meters. The Buddha statue is enshrined in the temple, and there is a big clock and a pavilion beside it, which is no different from ordinary temples in content.

Keeping the temperature constant can also predict the weather.

However, the magic of this temple is that the temperature in the cave remains 17 degrees all the year round. Even in hot summer, this cave feels very cool, so Bian Xiao thinks it is a place suitable for summer tourism. Once bad weather comes, sand will fall in the cave, just like the weather forecast. Why is this happening? I believe many people want to know about this magical temple after hearing about it!
